I'd been awaiting an opportunity to wear this dress for awhile, so it seemed a natural choice when my home state's 2013 inauguration party rolled around. It was flattering and fitting for the occasion, but I wouldn't exactly call it easy to wear. Even with shapewear, I couldn't pull the skirt up over my hips (trips to the restroom meant taking off the whole dress, but I adapted). Despite those hiccups, I felt extremely elegant and classy. A few hours of slight discomfort was an appropriate trade-off for the glamour and the compliments! My shoes were agonizing at the end of a night of standing, though, so take the time to adjust the hem with tape or pins with whatever shoes work for you.
