Wonderful dress. I very lightly wore (changed out of early). It has been professionally dry-cleaned. I have the zip fabric cover, original box and Grace Loves Lace wooden clothes hanger. It does have a very minor stretch of the threads (not a rip but overstretch). Would assume an inexpensive fix. I am happy to show photos if interested. I would normally just go get that fixed quickly prior to selling but its not something I can talk my toddler into doing.

This dress fits amazingly and is wonderfully comfortable. It appears it would be easy to alter to make smaller by just bringing in some in the mid section. The material also has a bit of a stretch which allows some give. Very flattering material and cut. Classic and modest, yet sensual. The buttons down the low back are beautiful and the train is amazing (can bustle or use the finger band).

Alterations

Dress was professionally altered at the shoulders to improve the fit in the chest area. She took in 0.5 inch vertically at the top of the shoulders to remove excess slack, raising the neckline very slightly.
