The Dress

This dress was a dream to wear and beautiful fabric. It was incredibly comfortable. You can see more photos here https://togetherjournal.com/laura-lewis-by-mike-hemus/
There is some very minor wear/snagging of the fabric in a small area at the back of the dress on the hem. This dress has been cleaned after my wedding, but there is also very minor dirt on the inside of the dress at the hem (not visible from the outside).

Alterations

I originally ordered a size 10 dress but had it taken in to a size 8. I ordered the dress with extra length. Alterations included the addition of both a wrist strap and a bustle for the train, and small loops underneath the straps. I threaded my detachable bodysuit straps through the loops which meant the bodysuit straps didn't show. I also had a stich added to the front V so it did not open and become too low cut. I didn't need any hollywood tape at all. I also had a hook and eye added to the top of the zip. The dress was perfect with the Spanx Suit Your Fancy Plunge Low-Back Mid-Thigh Bodysuit.
