From the Casablanca website: "The bodice and waistline are accentuated with gathers that flatter by giving a slimming effect. Small rows of beads are delicately scattered to give the gown some sparkle and shine. Silky taffeta covered buttons line the back of the gown to the end of the train. Fabric: Silky Taffeta"
I love this dress, and I hope you love it too! Your main cost will be getting it cleaned, as I didn't do that after wearing it in case it didn't sell. The dress has a tiny reddish dot less than 1mm x 1mm on the front left side at about thigh height that may not come off with professional cleaning. It is in the pictures, but very tough to find from more than a foot away even if you're looking for it. The bottom of the train is also of course a bit dirty, but all that will come out with professional cleaning. The worst of those spots is also in one of the pictures.
I got this dress in 2010 for $500 from a woman who'd worn it in 2009. I got to meet both her and her husband, and they were awesome people. My husband and I have been having a ton of fun together for 9 years, with two super sweet kids, so I like to think this dress comes with some good karma.
I am mostly looking for enough money to cover the cost of shipping
