NEW - NEVER WORN / ALTERED. Wore same dress w/o lace on bottom instead. Shop did steam clean the dress and the lace in the front tightened up about an inch. If you hem it won’t be an issue. If you keep as is, seamstress could gently stretch the lace back. My measurements: 36” bust (DDD), 31” waist, 40” butt, 34” hips. I’m 5’5 and wore 3” heels. I didn’t alter the dress. The dress has built in padding in the bust (not push up padding). The bodice is slightly transparent. Absolutely beautiful.
