I bought this dress at a small Seattle boutique called Belltown Bride, REALLY far in advance of the wedding. I purchased the dress in March of 2013 and the wedding is taking place June 2014. The dress was close to fitting me, but required it to be taken in. The more it was altered, the more I realized it wasn't the dress for me. It's a stunning dress, however it's very fitted and I didn't want to wear anything too tight on my wedding day. I decided to change up the style at the last minute to be more comfortable. It has been worn about 4 times, mostly for dress fittings and once to take the photos to sell it online.
Other than the alterations, the dress is basically brand new!
