New at purchase, worn once- still appears brand new. The dress was ordered with 10 cm of extra length (I am 6' tall.) No other alterations were needed or made, except breast cups were added. Stretchy, light weight, comfortable material.... absolutely stunning dress! I felt so beautiful in it and it was extremely comfortable all evening due to the light weight, stretchy fabric. Many compliments on the uniqueness and fit of the dress. The ruched style on the bottom was very attractive and popular!
