I bought this dress from Nordstroms in 2012 and wore it once, for my wedding. The following alterations were made by a professional seamstress: - dress hemmed for 5"2 height + 3.5" inch heels - dress taken in at the bust (for 34B) and waist; now a size 0 (I was about 112 lbs at the time) - pads added to the bust; can be removed - a single bustle was added to the back center
On the day of the wedding, the dress felt a bit big, so my friend made a few hand stitches to the waist/chest and also fixed the zipper, which didn't seem secure, so you may want to get the zipper checked out.
The dress has been professionally dry-cleaned.
I'd be happy to send you more pictures and measurements if you're interested!
