I was in the bridal party for an art deco 20s/30s themed wedding. I went for a full-on "Gatsby" 20s look and chose this little beaded cocktail number. It was so spot on for the theme, though still felt contemporary. The beading gave the dress a nice weight, which a) feels fancy and formal and b) made the material drape wonderfully over curves. Sack-like dresses generally don't do any favors for girls with womanly figures, but the weight of this dress and the low-slung tie belt really makes this dress flattering for the non-pixies among us ladies. Best of all, it was COMFORTABLE, meaning if I wanted to eat my whole steak dinner AND cake AND bottomless glasses of champagne and gin & tonics, I could. I'd probably feel gross afterwards, but the dress would still fit wonderfully! However, I was too busy dancing the night away (sadly missing most of my dinner), the point being that dancing in this dress was great too! So comfortable and non-constrictive, and no fear of body parts falling out. The dress is moderately short but the slits on the side make the dress feel shorter, and i wore it with patterned tights and platform high heel mary janes to accentuate the legs. I'm shorter with stocky legs, so being leggy for a night is a lot of fun.
