I bought this dress in July of 2015. It is a gorgeous Vera Wang strapless, drop waist, ballgown. The place where I bought this dress was unable to create a sweetheart neckline for, even though I was told at purchase it was possible. For that reason, I will not be wearing this dress at my wedding. It has no previous alterations, and has only been worn when I was trying it on. It comes with the full skirt underneath for extra poof.
