FURTHER DETAILS
I absolutely loved wearing this dress. It was so comfortable and easy to move around in. The neckline can be adjusted with a simple stitch so it can be as high or low as you like. Happy to arrange a try on before you buy, I'm based in London.

Alterations

Just the hem taken up and a stitch in the front (which can be adjusted depending on how you want the V to sit)
