This gown is from the San Patrick Spring 2010 collection. It was purchased brand new for my May 2010 wedding. I ended up going in a different direction and purchased a new dress, so this has never been worn. It was only tried on for fittings before I purchased the second dress. The dress was a size 8 which I had altered down to a size 2/4. The extra fabric was left in the seams so that it could be let out to the original size if need be. The hem cost $250, so if this length will work for you, you will save a lot just on alterations. This dress is gorgeous! The ruching is very flattering!
