Lara Women's Elegant Off Shoulder Embellished Gown

I bought this gown for my daughter's wedding, but couldn't wear it. I had it altered to be a little tighter around the torso which caused me not to be able to lift my arms. I went to the store and tried the dress on again without alterations and I realized unless the dress is loose and it's able to move up and down your body, you can't lift your arms. There was no way I could wear the dress as it was . I would not be able to dance, hug people, fix my own hair and makeup, or anything else that required lifting my arms more than halfway up and I couldn't return it because it was altered. So a week before the wedding a had to scramble to find something else to wear that would still match what my husband already purchased to wear based on this gown. In the end I settled for something, but it was not ideal. This was a very disappointing, stressful and costly experience. Try lifting your arms in the fitting room before purchasing. At least the bride looked beautiful!
