I wore this dress to the American Red Cross Gala in SF. Most women wear red, floor length gowns for this special event. I wanted to wear a red gown but I was looking for something that would make more of a statement and stand out in a sea of red dresses. This dress certainly did the trick! I received many compliments and the dress was featured in SF Magazine (picture attached). Regarding the sizing, I ordered size 2 and 4. I wore the 2 but it was a little big -- wished I had requested a size zero. The length was perfect with four inch heels. The down side of this dress is that it is high maintenance, ladies ... here's why: 1) If you need any kind of support for your boobies (I do - c cup) it's not easy to find a backless, strapless bra that does the trick. 2) You will need to use double sided tape to make sure your breasts aren't exposed. 3) If you are single and sans roommates, you may need a friend to help you get into the dress. Seriously. Perhaps it was because it was a little big, but I needed assistance pulling up the halter (so I was respectfully covered and somewhat supported) and also keeping the pink tie tight while I struggled to crisscross and wrap the pink tie around my waist. Ha! Once I was strapped in though, no adjustments were needed the rest of the night. Yay!
