About the Dress

Absolutely loved the dress but I’m a minimalist at heart so just feels wrong to hold on to it when someone else could get a use out of it. I’m 5’4 and wore 1 inch platform shoes with it. In excellent condition. (Very small) imperfections worth mentioning is the top hook seems is flaying a bit. That’s how it came in when I bought it and it wasn’t from wear and tear 🤷🏼‍♀️. See photos.

Alterations

It was hemmed to my height + shoes (5’5). During the hemming, the decals were removed and re-applied to maintain consistency. The straps were shortened to me. They went through two stages of being shortened and then lengthened a bit so there should be no worry about them being shortened/lengthened again if need be. The top hook on the back used to be a metal clasp but it somehow fell out during alterations so they replaced it with a fabric hook. Also please note one of the photos showing the difference between the border of the train and the border less portion where the dress was hemmed. The tailor I took the dress to, didn’t have the machine that creates the border like that which is why you don’t see the border in portions where the dress was hemmed. I wasn’t bothered by it but if you are, you could take it to a tailor who can create a border like that. Please note that there’s no bustle. I had a sit-down dinner instead of a typical reception so had no need for a bustle.
