The Dress

Dress was absolutely amazing! Danced the night away (7+ hours) and could not have been more comfortable throughout the entire night. Dress did not feel heavy at all and you have all the freedom in the world to dance without any constraints. :)
A huge plus was that the top is so well made that I did not have to wear a bra (which is usually not the case for me). Felt extremely comfortable and never felt like I actually needed one.
Dress was still a tiny bit long and since I danced the night away, the bottom 1/2 inch of the dress did not clean 100%, even after the dry cleaning. If you are 5'2" and wearing short 3" heels you still have room to get that hemmed off. :)
Got so many compliments the day of my wedding and have nothing but the most amazing memories and hope it create the same memories for someone else!

Alterations

We ordered the dress a size bigger so that it would be easy to take in... the only alterations were to shorten the straps and take in on the sides to fit my torso.
We also hemmed it a bit.
