Stunning JVN by Jovani floor-length formal gown in a vibrant sunset orange/coral. This size 4 dress features a heavily embellished V-neckline with aurora borealis crystals and beads. The bodice is intricately ruched with an empire waist that flows into a soft, layered chiffon skirt. Includes spaghetti straps and a concealed back zipper. Perfect for prom, pageants, or formal galas.
Key Features
New With Tags status, Jovani brand recognition, popular vibrant colorway, crystal embellishments, and classic flattering empire silhouette.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic JVN neon pink hangtag is present. Look for a 'JVN' woven label inside the bodice and quality YKK or invisible zipper. The density of the beadwork is consistent with the brand's mid-tier line.
Flaws to Note
Extreme wrinkling on the skirt (needs steaming); potential for loose threads near the heavy beadwork; check for 'shelf wear' or dust at the hemline if it was stored on a low rack.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark and Mercari are the best for this item due to their search filters for 'NWT' and 'Prom'. eBay is a good secondary option, while Facebook Marketplace is excellent for local sales to avoid high shipping costs for a heavy dress.
Selling Tips
Steam the dress thoroughly before photographing; professional photos of the beadwork details are essential. Use keywords like 'Prom', 'Pageant', 'Crystal', and 'Gatsby'. Ship in a large box rather than a mailer to prevent damaging the beadwork. List in January to catch the early prom shoppers.
