I still remember originally shopping for her. It was purchased in a Boutique named Rosemarie Etceteras located in Liberty Village in Flemington, N.J.  She tried on many other Gowns and they were all beautiful.... This Black Lace Gown was the last Gown she tried on and all I can say is she looked in the mirror and didn't even ask how much the Gown was. It was a perfect size and length fit !! All my Mother-in-Law did was smile and had nothing to say.   ********To whom ever owns this Gown next will be very satisfied and compliments will be all around.******   *The Lace Appliquéd Shawl that was made especially for this Gown was Hand Made.   *This Gown is not scratchy, itchy or uncomfortable. It is Silk lined and has an Upper Bodice.       **************** The Gallery has many Pictures for you to look through. If the Pictures I have listed are not enough and you need to see this dress on....Please E-mail me and I will forward you a Photo or Two from my Wedding.****************** * The work on this Gown is exquisite and nothing does it justice, except for having it and wearing it yourself.                                                        Women's Approximate Sizing   Policy: - There are no returns or exchanges. - I accept Pay Pal and Money Order. - No Personal Check, No Cashier Checks - Funds for this purchase must be cleared prior to merchandise shipping.     Happy Bidding and Good Luck, Kate     Place a Bid!
