- Worn To Wedding
EDIT - received the larger size and it's absolute perfection. Fits everywhere and the foofy fabric 'round the bum looks artfully draped. I am so thrilled to wear this thing. Included is a picture under incandescent bulbs and one with a flash to give you an idea of how this will look in photos. Very shiny! I rented this as part of my unlimited membership for a future wedding, so I have time to exchange it for a larger size. If you are renting this for a normal rental I would def size up as your backup size. I can normally wear a 2 if its fitted to the waist, or a 4 to fit around my muscular thighs and bum. In this dress I ordered the 38, equivalent of a size 4. It slinked around my bum just perfectly and I was sold until I tried to zip is up around my small-to-average ribcage. SO TIGHT. It's not apparent from the photo but there is a full corset/bustier sewn into the lining of this remarkable dress. You will NOT need a bra with it. The bustier is a zip-up affair, and stretchy. I was able to zip that part up with help from hubs but the outer fabric was impossible. It doesn't have stretch, and I was afraid I would damage the dress if I tried hard to zip it up! It wasn't worth photographing since I couldn't even get it on! I'll post a photo when I get the larger size and can (hopefully) actually put it on. In the meantime here's a close up of the beeeeautiful fabric. :)
