Emerald green satin gown with silver beaded bodice
Description
I found this emerald-green satin evening gown this afternoon around 2:15pm outside the Charleston Place hotel on Market Street, near the City Market entrance. It's a size 6 by Elara Couture, with a silver beaded bodice that catches the light and a flowing A-line skirt that sweeps the ground. The gown has a small snag in the hem from the walk, and there’s a satin belt tied at the waist. Inside the lining, I can see a tag with 'Elara Couture' and a tiny stitched monogram 'S.R.'—a nice personal touch. It seems like it must belong to someone who had a special night planned, and I’m hoping the owner sees this and claims it.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
