After looking through bridal magazines, I found the Balancin dress. I called every store on the east coast, including the flag ship store in NY and none of them had the dress in store. (They said it wasn't a very American girl style, very European look). Every store that I called that carried Pronovias said they could order it. I felt uncomfortable ordering the dress without trying it on but I found a store in Virginia that carried a very similar style. I went there and tried on the similar dress and loved it so much I took a leap of faith and ordered the Balancin dress. (July 2012). It came in Feb 2013 for my June 2013 wedding and it was perfect! I received so many compliments and the dress is just stunning.
Fit and Flare, lace and chiffon gown. Since my wedding was 3 weeks ago, I have not had it cleaned/preserved yet. (Although there are only some marks on the inside hem... will come out with professional cleaning).
I also have the matching Pronovias cathedral length veil. I am selling it separately from the dress for $400 but am open to negotiations.
