This is a brand new Teuta Matoshi Blooming Serenade Mini Dress that has never been worn. I thought I was going to wear this for my elopement so I had two things tailored on it: -I had the bow straps turned into real straps for a cleaner look -I had a couple of layers of tulle taken out so it wasn't quite so poofy. I ultimately ended up going with a different dress for my elopement, so I am selling this one. It's a size 6 (and it does have the string for the corset back—it's just in a little bag that came with it). The dress costs $789.00 new from the website, and I also spent $100 on tailoring. Selling it for $575.
