I didn’t end up wearing this dress to my event as I felt it wasn’t formal enough (a bit plain for a masquerade ball, but would be great for other events). It is very flattering and comfortable with the stretchy fabric, but it does run a bit large, so sizing down might be a good idea.

This dress is great for busty ladies (plenty of room in the top), especially if you use boob tape or KT tape instead of a bra (the opening in the front makes undergarment selection tricky!) the cut of the dress is super flattering on apple/pear/curvy gals—I didn’t need any shape wear to feel confident in this gown, which is rare! I was comfortable dancing all night in this dress, but it does get hot under it, so best for cooler weather!
