The Dress

The O'keefe was my Pinterest dream dress that fit my athletic, curvy UK size 10 body (US 6) like a glove. It was so comfortable and I received so many compliments for it. I wish i could wear it again! It was purchased off a show room floor at a botique in New Zealand - It was new but had been tried on quite a few times. I did wear it all day and all night in semi rugged terrain, so the train has a few little pulls in it if you look closely, however nothing anyone would notice while you are wearing it. Dress is in great condition. It is a Daughters Of Simone size Medium. It fits a US 6 to 8 (UK 10 to 12) and the straps are adjustable as they are tie Chiffon ribbons.

Alterations

I had the dress shortened. I am 1.64m tall without shoes and about 1.67m tall with the heels I wore on the day. I also had a 2 small darts put in on the bum area so it fit a little more snuggly.
