Back in April, [another reader named] Dearbhla mentioned on this blog that she was selling her Daphne dress on eBay–and I was the lucky one who got it (and wore it July 25 for my small Connecticut wedding)! For those of you out there looking for it, it’s true–it’s just lovely. However, there are a few “surprises”: it’s a stiffer material than I had expected (thanks to the silk organza), the very full skirt can be difficult to take in (especially if you want to keep the pockets–and I did), and it can be see-through on a sunny day (so my seamstress added an extra liner). With all that being said, the dress is incredible and I’m so glad that I had the opportunity to wear it! Good luck to all the searchers out there…
I contacted her to share her story about wearing the beautiful dress. Tory was also kind enough to share photos featured in the slideshow above.
Do you love this dress, too? The Daphne is currently available on eBay in a size 4. See item number .
A few summers ago, J.Crew released the Celeste Pique Dot dress. This dress is highly sought after and blogged about on many wedding websites. Many brides covet this beautiful dress for their walk down the aisle.
I still get many inquiries every day about how to locate the Daphne dress from J.Crew, which was introduced into the wedding collection back in January 2007.
Today, the Daphne dress popped up on eBay, item number, 200380058136. A seller named Paisley Petunia is selling a size 4. (The same seller also has many other wedding dresses from J.Crew. Click here to see them.)
Good luck to anyone who wants this dress for the big day!
I visited New York this past weekend and stopped by the J.Crew store at Rockefeller Plaza. Unfortunately, I missed the Bridal Trunk show that was written about in the post, “Say “I Do” to J.Crew Weddings.”
However, I did snap some photos of the wedding window as pictured above. Doesn’t it make you want to attend a spring wedding?
When I first started this blog, I wrote about how much I loved the J.Crew Daphne dress in the post, “The Coveted Daphne Wedding Gown.” In the comments of that post, Donna writes the she purchased this beautiful gown when it was first released by J.Crew back in 2007. When the time came, she planned to wear it for her wedding.
Well, Donna has decided to sell her Daphne dress as she and her fiance will be eloping. She wrote me and wants to offer it to fellow J.CrewAholics. Please see her terms below and pictures above.
Good luck to the lucky J.Crew bride who needs this dress!
Hi Leigh,
As you know, I’ve decided to sell my NEW, never worn size 4 Daphne gown since I’ll be eloping…:)))) So, here are the pics which I hope do the dress justice (I even included a close-up of the pocket!)! It will of course need a press from being packaged in its original box, but it is otherwise in pristine condition. Again, I would LOVE for one of my “sisters” on the site to get it since we’re all fans of J. Crew—-they’re chosen family to me! As such, I have not posted this gown for sale anywhere else. The highest offer over $1200 (not including shipping and insurance) will nab it. The catch? The bride-to-be MUST post pics on your site for all of us to see! Let me know if you’re still amenable to me offering the gown for sale on your site.
Thanks again, Leigh, for all your dedication and loyalty to J.Crew. It’s been so much fun to be part of the Crew community!
If you have been following this blog for some time, then you should know that I absolutely love the Daphne dress, a gorgeous wedding gown that J.Crew debuted back in January 2007.
I have written about the Daphne dress from J.Crew in the following posts.
Today I am happy to report that the Daphne dress has appeared on eBay in a size 2. There is currently one bid and the auction is set to end next Wednesday. Good luck to anyone who is interested in this dress!
