Alex Evenings Glitter Knit Mock 2-Piece Evening Gown
Alex Evenings · Clothing & Accessories > Women's Formal Wear
Era / Decade
Late 2000s to 2010s; evidenced by the black woven brand label and the specific "mock jacket" tiered gown style popular in Nordstrom/Macy’s formal departments during this time.
Material
Polyester blend with metallic threads (glitter knit) and synthetic satin trim. Typical of formal wear, featuring a stretchy, comfortable knit bodice and a smooth polyester maxi skirt.
Condition
Good condition. The item shows significant wrinkling on the skirt portion which suggests it has been stored folded or in a cramped space. No visible structural damage, but the glitter knit is prone to snagging.
Demand Level
Moderate; demand peaks during wedding season (Spring/Fall) and holiday party seasons.
Resale Value

The bodice is accented with an embroidered geometric sequence at the neckline, and the jacket-style overlay features 3/4 sleeves with satin cuffs.
Key Features

Authenticity Indicators
Black Alex Evenings woven label at neckline accurately matches brand standards. Quality of the embroidery and weight of the fabric are consistent with authentic department store formal wear. Confidence Level: High.
Flaws to Note
Heavy wrinkling on the satin-look skirt will require professional steaming or a cool iron. Check for 'glitter shed' and minor snags in the metallic knit which are common with this fabric.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, eBay, and Mercari are best. This brand is a staple search term for 'Mother of the Bride' shoppers on Poshmark.
Selling Tips
Steam the skirt thoroughly before photographing! Wrinkled formal wear looks 'cheap' and sells for less. Use keywords like 'Mother of the Bride', 'MOB', 'Gala', 'Shimmer', and 'Mock Jacket'. Include precise measurements for bust and length to reduce returns.
