I absolutely love this dress. It is so flattering and I felt great in it. It was just enough but not over the top – exactly what I was looking for. I had it altered – the boning was removed from the sides and cinched at the waist to provide more shape. I also had cups put in and got many compliments on how great my chest looked – haha! I had my reception in a restaurant and the dress is stain free. It was profesisonally dry cleaned after my wedding and is stored in a pet free, smoke free home.
