The process for getting the dress was seamless. I had a little bit of a small struggle with my zipper while trying the dresses on, thankfully I managed to un-snag it and get the dress on. I typically wear a size 2 or 4 but thanks to my broad shoulders, I opted for both the 4 and the 6. I knew a 2 would fit my waist but likely suffocate my top half. The dress was gorgeous. I wore this to my "Sparkle and Shine 25th Birthday Bash." I loved the flecks of silver spun into the gown and I felt like the star of the evening. All night everyone commented on how gorgeous the dress was and how pretty I was. While pretty, the sizing was a tad too large. I tried belting the dress before leaving home (it already has a small satin ribbon belt) but it caused too much bunching in the back. It was much too wide in the waist and didn't hug my hips as tightly as I would have liked. In addition, it was very fitted in the bust. This style would be great for pear shaped bodies. Hour glass figures like myself should opt for something that actually cinches at the waist, not just "appears" to do so. Overall, I pulled it off and the night was a total success. I would recommend this dress to those who have a little more hip. My only complaint is that it felt to loose. Other than that it was a steal!
