VENA CAVA ELECTRIC DREAMS DRESS






I coveted this dress for so long, so when one recently came up on eBay I bought it on a whim even though it wasn't my true size--unfortunately, it didn't fit, so hopefully my loss is your gain. This is such an incredible dress, perfect to wear to a wedding of any season really.

First two photos are the actual dress; second two are lookbook/retail listing photos found online.

Description from Shopbop: This colorblock silk maxi dress features a magnetic-snap closure and ruching at the tubular halter strap. Deep V neck and back. Single hook-and-eye keyhole at bust. Asymmetrical hem and hidden back zip.
Size: 4
Body: 100% silk
Fabrication: silk crepe

Retailed for $575; I won on eBay for $133, including shipping.
I would like to sell for the same amount, $133, with free shipping.

Please leave your email/questions in the comments if interested. Listing ends one week from posting.
Thanks!

A question - just wondering about fit and sizing. I am usually a size 4 in most things. Does this piece sike you as a classic 4? In what way were you unhappy with the fit?

Thanks,
Erin

hi erin! to be honest, i can't say for sure it it's a classic size 4, as i am not a size 4. (i had wanted this dress so badly forever so bought it hoping that i could make it work but ultimately decided that, even with alterations, it would be tricky for me.) that said, i am a size 0/2 and it was too big, so it is probably true to size. if you like, i can take measurements tonight for you, just let me know!

Measurements might help -- thanks for the offer. Maybe we could also chat offline so that I can ask you a few more questions about fit. Could you and me an email when you have a moment so that I know where to reach you?

Thanks!
