Has been altered. Taken in at the waist - on the sides. Hemmed for 5 foot 7 and wore flats. Has a bustle. Not a new dress, wore for about 5 hours outside, and has been in my closet for some time. Will need cleaned, HAS NOT BEEN CLEANED. Has a spot on the hem on the front hem and another small one a little above the hem and the mark on the back of the torso area (back right). Some of these marks are in the photos. Hem is use. Bottom of dress does have some sewing machine feed spots from the seamstress. It's a lot of dress so it's hard to keep track of the flaws. Will probably want to have cleaned and like steamed or something. Clean and chic yet completely effortless, this fresh spin on the royal-inspired ballgown will leave you breathless.
