I wore this once and I hope another bride can feel just as amazing in it on their big day! The label is size size 8 but just like most wedding dresses, fits much smaller, after alterations also. It fits a 4/6. I bought it new in September 2017 and wore it in December so it is a very NEW designer dress still being sold. The cheapest retail price I have found for it is 1500$. I put over $500 in alterations to get a 3 part bustle to the train so it all comes off the floor if needed and looks super formal. I added in pushup pads to give a stronger bust line since it is a sweetheart neckline and off the shoulder sleeves. It stays up very easily from this. I am about 5'2" and was able to wear flats without tripping over the front but also wore about 2.5" heels during the wedding with it and it was not too short either. The tulle layers make it easy to pull off varying heights/ heels. The lace transitions into the tulle with the mermaid bottom transition. Armpit to bottom of front is about 47", ribs is about 28", hips are about 33." It i a good stretchy material so I was able to sit/ dance/ eat a lot no problem. There are NO stains. Honestly it looks like it was NEVER worn. Maybe if you look slightly at some of the tulle on the bottom from it brushing the ground but this is something no one would ever notice and is only in a couple spots.

Like I stated above, I made it shorter in the front with a long train so the train can bustle up and you won't trip over the dress. I wore both heels and flats in it without any issues.

I am in Wilmington, NC so if you were nearby I do not mind letting you try it on. I will answer any questions and accommodate to those not in the area as well so if you decide to purchase it, you know everything about it! This dress is a total dream and I am listing it at less than half of the money I put into it, only 3 months after my wedding day too because I want someone else to feel just as special in it.
