My Story:
I fell in love with this dress during a gown consultation at Kleinfeld Hudson's Bay Bridal Boutique, and bought it on the spot.

As a larger-breasted woman, I knew that the keyhole (backless) back would pose a challenge in terms of finding adequate support, but I was confident that I would be able to find some kind of solution... Well, I have tried everything, and simply cannot find a supportive undergarment that will work with this beautiful dress. I am heartbroken, but need to face the reality that I cannot go backless on my wedding day.

So, this dress deserves an owner who will fall in love with it just like I did!

It's an absolutely stunning gown with a vintage-feel and is intricately beautiful. It would look gorgeous on someone with a size C cup breast or smaller (due to it being backless).

I am located in downtown Toronto, Canada, and am willing to travel (within reason) to meet you and show you the dress. Price is negotiable (again, within reason). However do note that the dress is brand new, straight off the rack and in perfect condition. I have never worn it, have never altered it, and have never sent it to the dry cleaners. Mint.
