Designer: Jenny Lee, based out of Beverly Hills, CA, was recently awarded the prestigious Designer of the Year Award and is quickly developing a reputation as one of the top wedding gown designers with the likes of Vera Wang. This is a great chance to get a dress from a designer who will soon be demanding more for her designs. Website is www.jennyleebridal.com.
Dress Description: The dress is composed of 100% Italian silk taffeta. Outside layer is ivory and underlay is blush. Bodice is form fitting with only one layer of tulle underneath. The dress is light-weight and breathable.
Dress Measurements:
Size 10: Bust 36, Waist 27, 37 1/4
At time of purchase, my street size was a 4 (Banana Republic/JCrew) - my weight was probably around 117 - 120 lbs. At the time of the wedding, my street size was a 0/2 (Banana Republic/JCrew) and my weight was 110-112 lbs, so the dress was taken in on the sides. I believe the alternations can be let out to the original size, but I would have to check.
Height: I am approximately 5'1" but my shoes had a heel height of 3.25"-3.5".
Dress will fit a bride 5'4" depending on your heel height. Unfortunately, the length is not adjustable.
Original Price: Original price of the dress was $3465 (which includes a 10% discount) plus $500 in alterations for a total of $3965, not including tax. Original receipts available for viewing. The alterations that were done were, (1) the back was lowered 2 inches and (2) the buttons were extended to the end of the train.
Asking Price: For over the past year, the dress has been well stored and cared for. The only noticeable markings on the dress are underneath the train. I will undertake the expense of professional cleaning. Because of this, my asking price is $1500, but I am willing to negotiate. |
