This dress is perfect for a bride-to-be or white party! I wore it once to my rehearsal dinner and had it professionally cleaned, there are no stains or wear and tear. There have been no alterations, this dress has a "slinky" fit so it fits a wide range of body types without needing alterations. For reference I am 5'7", ~128 lbs with an athletic build and a small was perfect. Currently SOLD OUT on Cult Gaia's website.
