I wore this dress to the Navy Day Ball and I will admit, when I first tried the dress on, I was a little disappointed. I felt like the dress was a little too big and made me look straight up and down and minimized my curves (I know a lot of women want to minimize their curves, but I love mine and thought this dress would accentuate them). All the reviews and descriptions I read said that the dress fit pretty tightly, so I ordered my usual size 12 and a 14 as a back up. When I got the dress, I wished I had ordered the 10 as a back up instead. But seeing as I had no way to get another dress in time for the ball, I decided to experiment. Most of the extra room was up top, so I ended up wearing two strapless bras to give me a little extra filler up top and it really did help. When I got to the ball in my gown, everyone loved it, and I loved how I felt in it! I still wish I had gotten the 10, but it really was a beautiful dress and even people I didn't know complimented me on it. It was also very comfortable and easy to move around in. I would definitely recommend this dress to anyone looking to be the belle of the ball, so to speak. It's definitely an attention getter! Thanks RTR!! :)
