(Full disclosure, I am 9 weeks pregnant.) I got this for my husband's army ball this past weekend. I put on the gown and knew I wouldn't be wearing heels with it as I had originally planned. I am 5'8" and 147lbs. I was totally disappointed with the length. I'm not showing very much yet, but still ordered a size up to accommodate my small belly. The style was loose around the belly, so that was nice. I think I must still be pretty small on top, because I did have to keep hiking it up. The other slightly disappointing thing about this one was the silver and gold threads coming out a bit. I own a dress with very similar threads and knew that as the garment aged, the threads would loosen and find their way out. It wasn't terribly noticeable, but just don't expect to receive a brand-new-looking dress. Now the positive aspects: it paired beautifully with gold jewelry and very warm pink and gold makeup. I got a ton of compliments and double-takes!
