Description
Stunning JVN by Jovani formal evening gown in a vibrant burnt orange/coral hue. This size 4 gown features a heavily embellished sweetheart neckline adorned with shimmering AB crystals and rhinestones. The bodice is beautifully ruched with an empire waist that flows into a floor-length, pleated chiffon skirt, creating an elegant silhouette. Includes adjustable or spaghetti straps and a concealed back zipper. Perfect for prom, pageants, or formal galas.
Key Features
New with Tags (NWT) status significantly increases value; highly recognizable 'JVN' branding; vibrant, photogenic color; intricate hand-beaded detailing; classic empire waist is flattering on many body types.
Authenticity Indicators
High Confidence. The specific neon pink 'JVN' hang tag, high-quality stone settings, and consistent ruching patterns match Jovani’s secondary line production standards.
Flaws to Note
Possible loose threads near the beading (common in storage); check the very bottom hem for 'street sweep' dust or snags if it has been handled. Chiffon is fragile and easily snagged by jewelry.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark and Mercari are the best for this demographic; Depop is excellent if marketed as 'Y2K/Vintage Glam' or 'Prom'. Facebook Marketplace for local sales to avoid shipping high-value delicate items.
Selling Tips
Keywords: Prom, Red Carpet, Pageant, Crystal, Ruched, Chiffon, Tangelo. Take photos against a clean, neutral indoor background rather than the current outdoor setting to justify a higher price point. Provide measurements for 'Pit to Pit' and 'Hollow to Hem' length.
