Saks Fifth Avenue Black gown black beading sexy back detail size 6P FLAWS

Saks Fifth Avenue Folio Collection Black gown with black beading at the choker style collar and at the strappy sexy back detail size 6P FLAWS . The flaws see last 3 pictures : loose beading here and there, one snap needs to be sewn on one side and some major discoloration staining to me it looks like scorching at the lower half of the dress at the slit . Came back from the dry cleaner that way I was going to cut it and make it a shorter dress I just did not have the heart to trash it . Well been sitting at the back of my closet waiting for me to fix it and now well I am never going to be a size 6 again . Mannequin is a small . Flat lay measurements : armpit to armpit ~15". From top of front choker collar to bottom hem ~ 49.5". Please see above photos for what was measured. Questions are always welcome . Closes with one zipper in the back, snaps and metal hooks and loops. Fully lined. 100% polyester. Black tie event, prom, cocktail party if you cut it down to a short dress. New Year's eve. I am hoping someone with some sewing skill can save this dress by make it a gorgeous short cocktail dress and get some more wears out of it .
