I wore this dress once as a bridesmaid. It is in perfect condition and has been dry cleaned. I had the length altered and it now measures 39.5 from waist to floor and 47 inches from armpit to floor. I am 5’5” and wanted the dress to just brush the floor. I wore 3.5 “ heels but the length worked even when I changed into flat sandals. Alterations cost me $75. It takes weeks to receive this dress from dessy and I will ship immediately for any bridesmaids that procrastinated!
