The Dress

I bought this dress new from Seng Couture in NJ and absolutely loved it. I am a size 2–Seng Couture took the bodice in by likely a quarter of an inch to fit my measurements with the bodice and did something called “hollow to hem.” They didn’t make any other adjustments to my knowledge, apart from hemming the bottom a bit - I am five foot four but wore 2 inch sneakers so they hemmed it to fit 5 foot 6 inches. Note that the straps didn’t stay perfectly without movement on my shoulders (they couldn’t alter it with how the dress is made apparently and how it would affect its structure), so I used fashion tape to make sure the straps didn’t move on me during the wedding and had no issues. You probably won’t need this if your shoulders are even a tiny bit broader than mine, and if I didn’t use the tape you probably wouldn’t have noticed either as there otherwise would have only been slight movement of the straps. Apparently, the dress is no longer sold in stores because the crepe material came from the Ukraine and is impossible to get now/no longer being sold (according to the bridal shop I brought from!). I absolutely loved this dress and received so many compliments, especially with the tulle and bow in back. I hope to give it a new life!!
