About the Dress

This beautiful authentic Reem Acra ball grown style wedding dress was purchased from Kleinfeld and worn once by me back in 2002. It has beautiful beading all along the neck line in the front and back and has ties to form a bustle. I knew it was the dress the moment I put it on in the store and it made me feel like a princess on my special day. I hope it can give someone else that same feeling. I had the dress professionally cleaned and it is great condition, but there is minimal wear/tear and stains that they couldn't get out. There is a slight staining in the underarm area (see next to last picture) and there is one stain on the back of the dress (see picture with blue circle). This is very small and I originally missed it because it was hidden in the folds of the pleats. There is also some slight staining along the hem of the dress since this was originally hemmed to be floor length with heels for me. Unfortunately, there isn't enough room for all of the pictures so just ask and I will be more than happy to send them over. Please note that the beading is all intact and in excellent condition. I have the original receipt for the dress and the receipt from the cleaners, just let me know if you'd like to see them. I also have the veil and tiara shown in the pictures if you are interested.

Bust: approx. 36"
Length: front is approx. 56" and back with train is approx. 83"
Waist: approx. 35" *measured at the seam where the ballgown skirt begins
*There are hooks to ensure your bra/corset doesn't peak out and some padding that I needed to help fill the dress out. These pads can most likely be removed.
*There are also 12 spots under the train where you tie the strings together to make the bustle.
*Please note that these measurements are approximate. Therefore, your best bet is to ensure the measurements you need fall at least an inch or two below these to be safe.

Alterations

This dress was originally a 14, but I lost a lot of weight prior to the wedding and it went down to probably about a size 6/8. See measurements in dress description.
