I hope that this dress brings as much happiness to its new owner as it did to me on my wedding day! This dress was originally a size 6 that was altered to fit my petite frame. The dress was altered to fit : Bust: 33" Waist: 26" Hip: 34.5" Height: 5'7" with a 2.5" heal (I am 5'5" without shoes) My seamstress installed an elastic/cloth covered "Waist-Stay" onto the inside of the dress, which is worn around the waist and clips in the back similar to a bra. This miracle add-in kept the dress in place all night! No more pulling up on the strapless dress! My seamstress also added a dual bustle (3 point bustle on the under fabric, and 5 point bustle on the lace). She even got buttons to match those on the zipper! This dress has been professionally cleaned. It is in a protective bag.
