Purchased this dress to use for my reception, but have decided to go with a different option. It’s an adorable dress, well made, very flattering, and has POCKETS! The dress is in excellent condition, but please note that the previous owner shortened the strings because they were originally way too long when tied (see photos to see cut strings). Smoke free home. Open to offers! Questions? Leave a comment below! Caption from original owner’s listing: Wore this only one time for my wedding reception IMPORTANT: when the dress was new, the strings in the back were so long they hit the floor. I cut them so they can tie into a nice bow at the waistline on the back of the dress. There's still plenty of room to tie and adjust the corset, but wanted to be transparent about that. Color in my photos is off because of the warm light - the dress is in great shape and looks like it did when I first bought it other than the strings.
