This dress was used once for a casual wedding and dry-cleaned shortly after. It is in like new condition. No alterations were made. One section of the small lace appliques over the breast is slightly loose and would be very easily secured (I could easily do it myself and I am no seamstress, but didn't want to handle the dress too much!)
This is a striking, beautiful dress that photographs well (and hides lumps and bumps). If you have a BHLDN near you, you could try it on there. You can find more photo on their website. At the moment they have none left in a size 4 online.
For reference, I am 5'3" and on the BHLDN and Catherine Deane websites this is worn by models much taller so it hits Around the calf. The bottom row of flowers could very easily be removed to shorten it for shorter women wanting to achieve that look.
*Please note, I will be traveling July 24-Aug 5,2017 so I will not be able to ship during that time.
