I read it on buzzfeed. What I found most fascinating was the hem. The original dress brushed the floor and appeared to have a deep hem but with each alteration (by less than skillful tailors so it was more visible than it should have been) you can see the hem get smaller and smaller until its not touching the ground anymore or had to have lace added to add length because the women in this family got taller over time. I would wager the original wearer of the dress is less or right at five foot and the last wearer is close to 5-8.
