Pronovias Ademuz 8 (street Size 4)

The dress is size 8, which fits more like a street size 4. The waist came slightly larger than what the measurement chart for pronovias said...it`s more like a 27.5" to 28" (not 27"). I did not have it altered, it just came that way.

I DID have the bust altered. I had it taken in to fit a 32-34 B with a very padded bra. The measurement around the cups of the bra is 33" but I did not have it altered to be super tight so there is room for a bigger bust.

I also had the length shortened in the front only (leaving the back long-see pic). I am 5`4" and wore about 2 inch heels. I had it altered to be just kissing the ground. The bottom edge of the dress dry cleaned very well.

There are no stains.

The alterations were done by a very wonderful man Andrea Gorges tailoring. You can read his stellar ratings on Yelp san francisco :

He also did the bustle which is a lovely asymetrical design that gives the dress a very fitted look. It ties both underneath and also hooks in back. I have pictures but they aren`t digital, so if you are interested in seeing it I will find a way to send it to you.
If you plan on doing a lot of dancing this may be too tight of a bustle but for slow dancing and walking around it was great.

There is a small flaw in the dress on the back at the top by the zipper there are two tiny runs in the fabric. It`s not a whole but looks like a stocking when it runs a little. The larger is about 3 millimeters small, that`s milimeters NOT inches. Since the area is gathered I was able to gather the fabric over that area and stitch it down and it`s not noticable.
I tried to take a picture of this with a digital camera but it`s too small to show up. I can try and take a regular picture and have that developed if you like.

I just wanted you to know that it`s not perfect.

I am asking 1,100 as this dress retailed for 1,800 plus tax
