Gorgeous dress! I am going to tell you that wedding dresses are hard to resell. Yours has an advantage because it's never been altered. However, you are 5'2", so that's going to be a little difficult.

I know from experience. After I left my husband, about a year later, I decided to get rid of my dress. That was ULTRA hard to do. My dress was BEAUTIFUL!!! Mine was custom made- lace, satin, hand beading...the works. Even had a handmade crinoline and headpiece. At the time, I was 5'3", wearing a woman's 26/28. This was back when plus-sized gowns weren't as popular as they are now. So, I took it to a consignment shop. The dress didn't sell in 6 months, and they were going to close the store down, so I told them to donate it to the Salvation Army. A $1300 dress donated to the Salvation Army!!! You know that hurt....

I said all that to say that you may have to really bargain in order to get your dress sold, or unfortunately, you may have to give it away.

Hope this helps...
