Reem Acra wedding gown. A few things to note:
- This dress was purchased as a size 10. I had 3 rounds of alterations - the final size I would guess is very similar to a NORMAL (not wedding gown) dress size 2-4. On the day of my final fitting, I weighed 123 pounds, 5'6.5", bra size 32B. I wore 4" Jimmy Choo heels so the dress is altered to that height (so 5'6.5" + 4" = 5'10.5" approximately). The dress just rested above the ground so safer to say 5'10!
- The black belt that is around the dress does NOT come with the gown! I bought that as an accessory and added it to the dress the day of my wedding, but it was never attached to the belt or sewn, I just literally tied it around my waist like a belt so there are no signs of it on the dress.
- The dress has been dry cleaned and preserved since the week after my wedding and is still in the bag / box.
- I wore it once for the day of my wedding from about 12pm until about 12am. No major damages or rips.
- I purchased this dress at the Bridal Salon of Manhassat (in Manhassat New York) for $8,500.00 before tax and alterations.
For what it's worth, looking back at the pictures, I would never wear a black belt again! The dress on its own is absolutely perfect as is.
