Hi,
I am selling my Reem Acra Paradise wedding gown. My wedding was September 4, 2004 and the dress is in perfect condition. Also, since I changed into a different outfit for the majority of the reception, the dress really was worn only for two hours. We bought it at Marshall Field's Bridal Salon in Chicago and paid about $6500. Also we had an awesome seamstress at the Bridal Salon do the bustle for us (the ties are all color-coded, so it's about matching them up in back). My asking price is $3700.
We ordered the dress in a 12. I am a regular size 8-10 in normal clothes, but I wanted to have plenty of room for any alterations we wanted to do. I am not super-curvy, so it was mainly trying to get the dress to be a nice fit to my body and my bust (34B). I also worse a sort of corset type bra thing underneath which added about 1/2" around, which was suggested by the Bridal Salon as the extremely fine handsewn beading on the dress needs something smooth and with little friction underneath to look its best. Finally, I'm 5'9" and wore 1" heels. There is still room for alterations as well, especially if you wanted to take it in more at the waist.
You can see pictures of the dress (both with me in it and without me) at:
