This dress was bought as a size 6 and was altered by a professional mostly in the bust and waist area. Cups and a bustle were put in. The dress has been professionally cleaned and is in excellent condition. Worn once on my wedding day, there is some very small stains on the interior bust from makeup and a few small holes in the tulle at the hemline. The fit and flare details make this for flattering on nearly any body type. The way the tulle is layered at the stomach hides nearly any flaws! Pictures of walking down the aisle and dancing in this are prIceless due to the way the skirt moves!
