This dress is beautiful on.  It has boning in the bodice to help keep its shape.  The beading on the neckline is exquisite--and you don't need a necklace!  I had it shortened, but it is still really long.  I'm 5' 7" and wore 3 inch heels, and it was still a little too long.  Oh, and it has POCKETS!  I think that it was $300-$400--I just don't remember.

It would be PERFECT for the mother of the bride.

I used to work in the china department of a large regional department store and I know how to pack items to ensure that they arrive in great shape. 

I don’t send offers to people who watch my listings.  I have listings that have a lot of people watching them and often the person who buys it wasn’t someone who was watching it.  If you’re interested in making an offer, please send me a message and we’ll see if we can work something out.  I try to price things fairly based on the market and what I paid for them, but sometimes I get it wrong.

If I notice something with the item during final inspection before shipment that wasn’t described in the listing, I will send you a message to alert you to along with photos and an offer of a discount and then you can decide whether or not to go forward with the transaction.  I try to be thorough in my descriptions, but with the volume of items I have listed, I sometimes miss things.

If you’re interested in buying multiple items from me from various listings (not multiples of the same item), please message me first so I can help you do it in the best way possible, and walk you through the process.  The shipping cost also needs to be adjusted on multiples of the same item because the calculated weight of the item includes a box and I will make that adjustment, as long as the items ship in the same box.

I do not add a handling charge to the shipping cost for my items.  The shipping cost is based on the level of service (priority, ground, 1st class), the weight and size of the box, and how far it has to travel.  I agree that sometimes that shipping number looks like a lot, but the system auto-calculates it for me, and I have checked prices versus USPS website and they are correct.  However, if the shipping cost looks really out of whack, please contact me.  I do make mistakes when entering package size and weight at times.  If shipping calculates too high, I will adjust after sale.

I ship same or next business day.

Always happy to answer any questions.
