This dress underwent a couple of repairs. There was a hole in the lower skirt which I patched up by hand with a matching scrap of fabric. The hem was also dramatically uneven, possibly from a flawed alteration though I'm not certain. I evened out the length as seen where the hem tape ends. The dress is otherwise vibrant, clean and ready to wear. Presents beautifully with no other issues of note.
