The Dress

This was a really elegant and incredible dress to wear and I was lucky enough to wear it twice (small COVID wedding and follow-up celebrations)! It fits like a glove but because the material has some give in it, it was so easy for to move about and sit in it, even after eating. You can allow the gorgeous train to trail along behind you or just as easily carry it by hooking it over your arm (I didn't get a bustle or finger loop but you could easily add this if desired). I wore the dress with ballet flats that have a 2cm heel on them.

The dress itself has been dry cleaned and is still in great condition. There are no obvious marks or pulls on the fabric (synthetic crepe) and all buttons along the back of the dress are still present.

Alterations

I had the train shortened by approximately half just to reduce some of the weight of the dress. I still found that there was ample train to have the desired elongation effect.
The dress was also taken up slightly at the straps and taken in along the sides (from bust to hips) as I'm generally a size smaller for my top half.
