Wore once for a black tie wedding, then immediately dry cleaned and has been sitting in my closet since! Note that I had the shoulders brought up ~0.5in to make the V a little less deep (photo of seam adjustment shown) but never had the length of the dress shortened. The final photo shows the altered dress on me — you can see the V is still quite deep! I also noticed a bit of a discoloration/spot on the stomach of the dress when photographing (see closeup photo after seam photo). This is extremely subtle, very difficult to notice. **color is a true blush!
