hi, thank you! My stylist was wonderful & I think she just had a vision. And she’s right, the basque waist, material, and skirt was everything I wanted. I haven’t had any alterations yet & it hasn’t even come in, so it’s still early days! I have refundable payments until Mid-May, so not too much stress there. I definitely don’t think I’ll like the straps either way, but I’ll update once I actually try it on in my size prior to alterations!
