Black velvet evening gown with pearl neckline, size 6
Description
I lost my black velvet evening gown yesterday around 5pm near the Fort Smith Convention Center on Garrison Ave. It's a floor-length satin-velvet gown, size 6, by Calvin Klein, with a pearl-embellished neckline and a slim back zipper. The gown is in great condition aside from a small wine stain on the inner lining and a tiny snag on the hem from last weekend’s event. It was a gift from my mom and means a lot to me, since I’m attending a gala this Saturday and really need it back. If anyone found it, I’d be grateful to arrange a pickup at my apartment on 19th Street or meet near the Fort Smith Public Library on Rogers Ave.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
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.
