The Dress

New and unworn. No horrible story, just an impulse purchase for a Vegas vow renewal that was too heavy to pack!!
A really lovely dress, I would very happily have worn this for my big day, even the first time round.
Beaded crossover bodice with lower back V, although still easily worn with a bra if needed. Matte thick chiffon type overlay with thick matte satin underlayer and net petticoat (could be removed for a sleeker silhouette if you wished). Gorgeous short train inlaid from waist with beading. Covered zip closure.
Ex sample dress- very minor flaws (not noticeable unless looked for) include small biro mark on lower side hem, few loose or missing beads, 3mm snag in upper layer by lower front hem- would probably be more noticeable if repaired but happy to do for you as competent seamstress. I wouldn't have felt it necessary to remedy these for my own celebration.

Alterations

Has been adjusted to shorten straps- personally as a fussy type I think this could have been done better but definitely not noticeable in general and easily remedied by someone who sews. Neat arm holes, fits me with generous bust, narrow back, slim(ish) arms and curvy hips.
