Reposhing this item I purchased from @mooneyes31. Quote from @mooneyes31 listing: "*There is about 1 inch rip on the gauze outer covering towards the bottom of the dress. I'm not sure what the best fix is, I considered cutting it off (the dress is longer than most). Or just removing the gauze outer layer completely." I stitched it and it is hardly noticeable. I did not end up wearing the dress. Additional quote from @mooneyes31: "*Gorgeous black with white beading *Women's size 20W formal dress. *Mother of the Bride *Mother of the Groom dress. *By far, this is the most stunning dress I have ever worn as a plus-size woman."
