I made a few alterations:
-I bought the lace pattern in the boddice from the designer and had a seamstress add a strip of that to the sleeves for support
-I also had the seamstress remove one layer of thule from the skirt so it feels lighter
-I had buttons for a bustle added on the back, at the bottom of the zipper
-I am a 34B and had cups added to the bust to provide some support
