By Watters “beyond” dress - size 8 with minimal alternations. Sewed a stitch in the shoulder straps as they are silky and wouldn’t stay in place otherwise! My seamstress also resewed the chest padding inside of the bodice, they kept showing out of the top of the neck otherwise (see picture). No alternations to length or waist! It fits like a dream, I felt like such a princess in it as my after party dress! Freshly dry cleaned, no stains and in pristine condition :)
