I am selling a Davids bridal wedding gown style T9017 , mid length veil with small pearl beading, and size 4 slip to complete the princess style dress! This is a beautiful gown that has been worn once and has not been cleaned yet. It has minimal signs of wear on the bottom as well as a small mark (likely from a small spill) that can easily be cleaned. All items are in great condition and have been kept in a Davids bridal garment bag that will also come with the dress. This gown has been altered however the lace up back makes it very adjustable! Originally size 2 but taken in to a size 0 (mostly in the hips). Again, it is adjustable to go up in size!
This is a great link to see reviews of the dress as well as more pictures from others who have worn it: http://reviews.davidsbridal.com/7294/DB2300/t9017-strapless-gown-with-beaded-sweetheart-neckline-and-taffeta-pick-up-skirt-reviews/reviews.htm
All four items included (dress, veil, slip, garment bag)
I’ve been HAPPILY divorced and re-married for almost FIVE years. Time to get rid of this dress!
Here’s my story! It’s long. Parts of it are actually sad. But it has a VERY happy ending.
I met my ex in high school. We got married at 19. I moved away from all my family and friends to a different state to be with him for his job. Any time we came back to our home-town to visit he complained about spending time with my family and friends. So, I lost a lot of my friends and was not as close to my family as I should have been.
About six months into our marriage I caught him cheating with a girl on MySpace (oh good old Myspace). Then I caught him cheating with a girl I went to grade school with (did I mention I went to a CATHOLIC grade school?). Then another girl I went to high school with. Then I caught him cheating with some girl he went on a double-date “just to help out a friend” with… You get the trend here, right?
I married a CHEATER.
Then I realized that I married a verbally-abusive, alcoholic, pathetic excuse for a man. It started small. He’d throw little jabs my way, belittling my job or the fact that I was going to college. Then he started with the names. You know those names that no woman should EVER be called? Yeah, those ones.
Then the verbal abuse turned into physical abuse. I got thrown into our TV, shoved into our sliding-glass door, locked out of my own place in the middle of the night and forced to sleep outside, held against a wall, held down with weapons pressed against me… it was bad.
But I stayed. Like a lot of women in abusive relationships, I stayed for all sorts of excuses that I made for myself. I didn’t “believe” in divorce. I was afraid of what might happen if I tried to leave. I was afraid of starting over. I was lost. I wasn’t ready to give up. And I genuinely wanted to fight for my marriage.
He was the stereotypical abuser. Swore that it would “never happen again.” Swore that the cheating was over. Begged and pleaded and cried! Oh, yes, he cried. A lot. He cried “woah is me” more than any person ever should. In his eyes, the world was always against him. So he took it out on me.
Until one September day… He was away for work and I discovered yet another girl he had cheated with. This time things were different. I just didn’t care anymore. I didn’t cry. I didn’t hesitate. I was done! And I was SO HAPPY to be done!
My brother came out to help me move before my ex returned. We loaded anything I could fit into my parents tiny GMC pickup and left pretty much everything else I owned behind.
Our divorce took almost TWO YEARS because my ex continued to make excuses for not signing the paperwork.
I have since met, fallen in love, and married an incredible man! He treats me and our new baby girl like princesses. He is proof that there are GREAT men in this world.
I would really like to use this money to take our daughter on her first Disneyland trip! The money will go towards outfits, souvenirs, and Minnie Ears for our baby girl!
