I wore this to a wedding in New Orleans and I only knew 3 people before the wedding - not after! This dress was a conversation piece and everyone insisted on being photographed with me in it. People stopped me in the streets as I walked to the wedding and I heard a few whisper 'who is that'. Too bad I only have a picture of me sitting down because this dress is stunning! My make-up has worn off a bit in this picture, but trust me- no one was looking at anything but the dress. And, yes...if you have a chest, expect for it to be hiked-up a bit ala' corset-y. I wore cutlets (silicone strapless bra) under this dress. It is surprisingly soft and comfortable with some stretch (no one will know but you) because this is a fabric lace-not lace. From a distance, you look bare underneath which is sexy, but when someone gets closer they notice how classy the lines are in the dress. Fit wise, I played with 4L, 6R and 4R and ended-up wearing the 4R thanks to the best RTR stylist who sent me a new size last minute at the hotel. Choose R if you're wearing heels around 3 inches high. I lifted the dress slightly to participate in a wedding parade (don't want the streets of the French Quarter on this gown), but did not need to for dancing. It's best to rent this dress because I could not wear it again...not because I don't want to, but because too many people remember me in this. It's a once in a lifetime event dress. Adore!
