We purchased this dress for my daughter's wedding. Engagement and wedding called off. Unfortunately, no returns, all transactions were final, so the gown has been stored hanging in the white gown bag in the spare bedroom closet. It is new, unaltered, never worn. The photos of my daughter in the dress were just taken. In the photo showing the back of the gown, you can see the zipper isn't all the way up. There is nothing wrong with the zipper, just couldn't zip it up all the way. This is a perfect gown to show off a tiny waistline. My daughter is 5' tall. One of the photos shows a tape measure around her waist. The halter hooks with 2 hook and eyes. The color of the gown is called Diamond White. It is a lovely, elegant shade of white. The gown has an attached netting slip to give it fullness.
