The Dress

ABOUT THE DRESS
You will fall in love with this Reem Acra Nepal couture wedding gown in excellent condition. I said yes to this gown from Reem Acra's Love and Dreem collection in January 2022 and had it made to measure to wear to my wedding in October 2022. Madison Le Croy, the Southern Charm TV Star, also chose to wear this design to her wedding in November 2022 (as pictured). This is an incredible opportunity to have one of this year's hottest bridal couture designs immediately in your hands for a fraction of the price!

This couture gown is the perfect blend of a classic bridal silhouette with a high-fashion, editorial edge. The neckline of the bodice is striking and there are breath-taking 3D flowers sewn all-over. I received so many compliments wearing it (and even more on my photos!) and felt extremely beautiful and comfortable in the dress. I am so sad to let this one-of-a-kind dress go, but would be thrilled to find it a new home with another bride-to-be!

DRESS DESCRIPTION
The dress has a supportive and well fitted sweetheart bodice with removable cap sleeves and a low back. It's made from white tulle and white 3D flowers and jewels that are hand-sewn on top of the tulle all over the gown. There are cups gently sewn into the bodice for support (size D/E), but they easily can be removed. The gown has a dramatic train that can bustle to allow you to dance and move around. Even un-bustled with the flowing train, I found it incredibly easy to dance and spin around in my dress like a princess. The dress fabric has great movement and feels light and airy...I can send you photos of me spinning in it!

CONDITION
The gown is altered to fit my size. The gown has some staining at the hem due to wearing it outside for pictures. You can have the dress cleaned, or if you're shorter than 5'7" in your wedding shoes, simply hem the dress to trim away the stains. I changed into a second look, so the dress was only worn for about 5-6 hours and is still in amazing condition.

AUTHENTICITY
I purchased the gown directly from the Reem Acra atelier in NYC and can provide the receipt if needed. The dress was $14,000 + alterations at the atelier + taxes on both the dress and alterations. It took ~7 months for the dress to be hand-made.

Alterations

The cap sleeves are removable via hook and eye clasps. Cups were added and sewn into bodice and are easily removed. Clasps were added inside the dress to bustle the train. The waist was taken in to fit mine (27 in), and the front of the gown was hemmed to fit my height (5ft 3in + 4in heels). The hem/length of the train in the back was left as is.
