This was my wedding dress. it was PERFECT! Spent $580 on alterations- hemmed at the bottom AND where the mermaid started so that it would be proportional (most expensive part!) Added boning to prevent wrinkling at the waist, bust cups, and 5 pt bustle. No alterations were made to the top. 5ft tall and wore 4 1/2" heels, 32a. was worn for almost 4 hours and I didn't want to take it off! It was SO comfortable. Bottom of the dress is a little dirty but can be hand washed or professionally cleaned
