Although a stunning dress, you really need a rocket bod for this to look good on you all night long. I felt good, not great in the 6L—a bit snug around the waist and a bit loose in the chest—but the 8L was way too big in the chest, and it seemed the issue was nothing a good pair of spanx couldn't cure. But the problem came after sitting through a ceremony and a sit-down dinner. By that time the grosgrain blue belt (which is essentially just a wide ribbon) had crumpled and folded over itself as well as the the rest of the mid-riff of the dress. I found myself keeping my wrap on for the majority of the night after that to distract from what looked like an ill-fitting dress. Fabric has quite a satin sheen that I wasn't expecting too, more than you expect from the photo—a bit bridesmaid-ish. But still a stunning dress for the right rocket bod and the appropriate event.
