Amy Michelson replica gowns

I had Amy Michelson replica wedding gowns made for my TTD, but right after I found a dress very similar to mine at Filene's running of the brides event that fit me like a glove with no alterations. So, since the custom made ones needed some altering, I figured I'd save the money and try to sell these. They are very close to the original, which is why I chose Gianinar to make them. The only thing that seems to be off is the fabric. I am sure that the original is made of Silk Charmeuse, but Gianinar only had satins. I had them make one gown with one type of satin (soft matte), and then they offered to make the second one with another sort of satin (shiny) for a little bit more $$. Together, I paid about $200 for both. I'd sell each for $90 or both for $180 plus shipping, or best offer. These would make great TTD dresses! Below are the descriptions.... Good Luck!

Diamond by Amy Michelson replicas made in two different fabrics, a Matte Satin and a Shiny Satin. These are the measurements they were made to.

Bust - 35.5 inches

Waist - 27.5 inches

Hips - 37.5 inches.

My normal street size is six, and I am between 5'9" and 5'10"

Both dresses seem bit big in the bust (more so in the Shiny Satin), and as I have a very small bust (between A and B cup) that might work out better for most women. The waist was a little big in both dresses (my waist is also kind of small for my hips, so again, this might be a benefit to more proportional women). The hips were snug in the Matte Satin dress and perfect in the Shiny Satin dress. I believe the Shiny Satin dress had a bit more give. I had the neckline lowered a bit in the Matte Satin dress, but not in the Shiny Satin dress. Both dresses have buttons down the back all the way through the train and have bustles. I will put pictures of the actual dress, the Matte, and the Shiny Dress. I only tried on the Matte Satin for pictures because I was running out of time when I took them. Since the are pretty much the same dress, I decided to just put up the pics that Gianinar sent me of the Shiny Satin.
