Where should I even start with this? This dress had the worst day ever, but maybe with a talented owner who's good at modifications it could live beautifully.

I ordered this back in 2016, new in the dress bag, from the second release. It arrived and had been damaged badly. Thanks USPS! The upper half and right side of the dress, as well as the sleeves are fine. The bow is intact in the bag. But the bottom left half is pretty much shredded through the chiffon layer, beautiful middle layer, and the layers underneath have a lot of holes and rips through them. It's your guess as good as mine what happened. I've considered fixing it but to be honest I am not the best seamstress and I don't want to stain this dress with my hysterical, ugly tears that I cry every time I see this in my closet next to dresses that didn't cost me $400.

Photo 2: Front, as you can see it doesn't look so bad if you're not looking closely
Photo 3: Back, still looks pretty good aside from...
Photo 4: Hole, most visible. There are smaller ones that will be highlighted next.
Photo 5: Ouch. Ripped through and you can see the smaller tears beneath it.
Photo 6: I'm lifting the left side up, it's not so obvious without lifting it, but there are ton of rips and holes. the one across that star between the two moons is huge and long. Around it there are probably 10-15 more smaller rips that obviously happened at the same time but my camera isn't picking up well since everything's pretty much the same color.
Photo 7: This dress is so gorgeous, I am so sad about this. Note the holes three quarters of the way down the photo next to the bat under the cage.
Photo 8: Way more shredded. Gives a nice preview of the beautiful lining underneath, though ;_;
Photo 9: Here's the lining and the holes in it.
