I really love this dress! My wedding was very private and simple and I didn't want to over do it with an extravagant bridal gown. I paid extra for alterations with the measurements I had my mother take for me. The dress fit pretty well but the fabric hanging from the bottom was a lot longer than the woman in the picture. I boldly cut it to match the lining on the inside (3-4inches) and I must say that it made a world of difference! The only other con that bothered me was that the bust was made with a strong frame for women who are more busty so it kept sliding down throughout the day. Other than that it makes for beautiful pictures and perfect for an outdoor spring wedding ceremony!
