purchased this dress at a sample sale on Newbury St. in Boston as my reception dress. I am way over budget and need to sell before my wedding day. Gorgeous dress- just a few flaws from being tried on...slight makeup stains on the inside of the chest. Bottom of the zipper needs a few stitches. Other than that in great condition. Never been altered or worn (besides trying on). Sizing tag says 42, store labeled it as a dress size 10. My normal dress size at Store like Banana Republic is a size 4 and it fits perfectly in the thigh/butt area. I would've just needed it altered in the chest/straps as it was too big. For reference I'm a 34B.
