A J.CrewAholic Sells Her Coveted Daphne Dress!

A J.CrewAholic Sells Her Coveted Daphne Dress!

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!

Warmest,
Donna

    I also forgot to add that this is a short-term “auction”. It ends Friday, May 8th at midnight, so all bids must be received by me at dumaslaw@yahoo.com by that time. I’ll announce the winner on Saturday, May 9th!

  6. Donna says:

    Just a quick note regarding my May 5th post: The “auction” ends Friday, May 8th at midnight eastern standard time (EST). Good luck, ladies!

  7. Paola says:

    Hi Donna,

    Is this an open auction? In other words, will I know what others have bid in order to raise my bid? Thank you!

    Hi Paola,

    I decided to sell my dress on jcrewaholics.com on the spur of the moment, so I apologize for the confusion! This IS an open auction and folks should be bidding through the jcrewaholics website (just like you did!). I actually made a typo when I said that all bids must be received by me at my private email; it should have read that all bids must be received by me on THIS site.

    However, once the winner is announced (again, on this site), the buyer and I will communicate via my PRIVATE email to discuss the shipping and payment arrangements. I hope this helps and feel free to ask anymore questions…:)

    Well,, Ladies, the auction is officially over! And the lucky winner is…Paola with a bid of $1201.00! Congratulations, Paola!

    Paola, please email me at dumaslaw@yahoo.com so we can make the necessary arrangements!

  12. Leigh says:

  16. Paola says:

    Hello Ladies,

    I purchased this dress a few months back right here on J.Crewaholics… and now I’m selling it back. I love the dress but I’ve fallen even more in love with the Leighton Gown and went ahead purchased that as well. I’m asking for $1200 plus shipping (which I will calculate once I know your location). It’s a size 4 and true to size. The images are above with the red background. If you are interested, please contact me by February 12 (after that, I’ll put it up for auction on Ebay) Please contact me at paolacarpintero81@gmail.com. Thank you!

  17. Paola says:

    I forgot to mention the dress is BRAND NEW WITH TAGS! Never been worn (other than the two times I’ve tried it on) and it’s never been altered.
