I was really caught up in the moment. So many people were looking at me, and I didn't get much time to figure out what was going on. I had a video camera pointed at me along with a few digital SLRs snapping away. The dress fit like a glove. I'm 5'3 and weigh about 110 lbs, and the measurements were all spot on. I walked to the register with this gorgeous wedding dress in hand, but there was no price on the red tag. Dresses were advertised starting at $50 for used gowns and up to $300 for designer sample dresses. The cashier talked to another worker, and here's the price...
Later at night I was able to finally take my vintage gown out of the plastic garment bag. The dress is in impeccable condition. I can't give you one flaw. The previous owner did such an amazing job taking care of this dress. I believe that the original color of the dress is ivory, and there has been no yellowing due to exposure to sunlight. There are no watermark stains or anything. It just requires some steaming at the ends, but other than that it is perfect.
