RETURNS
FOR "DOESN'T FIT" ARE EASY TO AVOID. PLEASE DO NOT RELY SOLELY ON THE
SIZE! Sizes can vary from brand to brand and even within brands. I take
care to get complete and accurate measurements, so please do your part to
minimize the need for costly returns, i.e., PLEASE CHECK THE MEASUREMENTS
BEFORE PURCHASING, and compare them with those of a dress that you know fits well.
Thank you.
IT
LOOKS LIKE SILK. IT FEELS LIKE SILK. IF YOU WANT TO TELL PEOPLE IT'S SILK, NO
ONE WILL DOUBT YOU. BUT THIS EXQUSITE WHITE OFF-THE-SHOULDER SEMI-BACKLESS
BEADED FULL-LENGTH FORMAL/SPECIAL EVENT/OCCASION MERMAID GOWN BY ADRIANNA
PAPELL, SIZE 6, has a 100% nylon outer shell and a 100% polyester lining. It's
pre-owned, an estate-sale purchase, but apparently unworn, with original tags
and a plastic packet containing spare beads attached (pictures #13 - 16), in
near-perfect condition, free of defects or damage, with no signs of wear. The
tag gives the color as ivy. I think they meant to say ivory; ivy is green. To
me it's white. In classic mermaid gown styling, it fits closely to about the
knees and flares below that. It's backless except for the 2 shoulder straps
that cross in mid back (picture #9). The outer 100% nylon shell is a sheer
mesh-like fabric with an all-over embellishment of light-catching beads (hand-applied; picture #13). It's
fully lined in glossy white 100% polyester fabric and closes with a clasp and
zipper in back. Spot clean only is recommended, no wash or dry clean. The
stated size is 6, but prospective buyers are encouraged to compare the
measurements with those of a dress that they know fits well prior to purchase.
Measurements are: chest, pit to pit 16.5"; waist 13"; hips 17";
hemline 38"; length (in front, neckline to hem) 53".
If you like the
gown but not the price, don’t despair, I’m willing to negotiate. Make me an
offer.
