Thanks for your interest in this dress! :)
This beautiful rose gold gown was purchased from a girl who wore it as a bridesmaids dress...I was planning on doing the same, but the color we are wearing has changed!! This dress in is perfect condition, it doesn't even look like it has been worn before! It has not been altered. I am 5'2", and I would've been fine wearing this with heels without hemming the dress. Also important to note, it is INCREDIBLY comfortable, which is rare to find in an all-sequined gown.
Side note, you can try to find this in a local store to try it on for fit. I believe Saks has it, and you could try other stores as well.
Please let me know if you have questions!
