Tip #2. Buy big clearance and alter: I originally wanted to order the "Petite" version of this sequin halter neck dress on clearance for $81, but all small sizes already sold out of course. Then upon further search, the "Tall" version was still available and with a lower price tag! My thought was that if the torso fits, altering the skirt length would be easy.

The problem: I like the sequin top and the creamy hue, but size US 4 is still too loose in the torso. The top probably would be an easy alteration as well, but if it was any slimmer, my side-view wouldn't be too appealing. This halter style would be better with someone bustier. I also felt the backside was too plain for my taste. Not worthy enough for all the alterations needed.
Lesson learned: Cream hue is flattering on me. But this simple style is more befitting a Spring/Summer wedding, instead of my desired Fall wedding.
