Gorgeous strapless Reem Acra, purchased in 2007. I was going to save it, but have decided to part ways with it. It is a ballgown style, strapless, with gorgeous bead work throughout the bodice. The beads are clear, and the thread that they were sewn on with are very light pink, green, and blue that give it just a little bit of color in the light. The back also has a slight "V" shape to it. The dress was worn for bridal portraits, to the wedding, as well as the reception, but was professionally cleaned after pictures and the wedding and has been well preserved since. I am also including the crinoline that was purchased with it. It photographs beautifully with a lot of color, or in black and white.
I purchased this dress during an event at the location I ended up getting married at in North Carolina. A company (I'm sorry I can't remember their name it has been almost 10 years) brought quite a few dresses in and I immediately loved it, tried it on, and when I put it on, it fit perfectly. They also did the drawing for a free cruise while I had the dress on and I won, so it was such good luck I had to have it! No alterations have been done to the dress. With both the crinoline and high heels, the length was perfect, and I am 5'5. At the time I got married I had about a 36DD bust size, and it was a little tight to zip up the back, but still fit well once I had it on.
