I wore this dress for a work event - I created cocktails for 1200 over fashion week in NYC and had to do media presentations for my brand as well. The color was stunning, it was sexy without being TOO over the top, and it was so easy to wear. Compliments from everyone I met, pretty much. I love Yigal! He and Nicole Miller are the two best designers on here for hourglass figures.

The color and cut/draping of the dress is really lovely, the fabric is so luxe. I think it can be a bit volumizing to hourglass types. I am busty but I have a small waist. I had to size up to an 8 when I'm normally a 4 or 6. I was forewarned about the bust thanks to other reviews and was very glad I sized up, the 6 fit everywhere but I couldn't zip the bust. For that reason the waist was too roomy and looked a bit bulky in photos. Nevertheless it was a perfect wedding dress - elegant and chic, not too sexy.

I ordered the 4L with 6L as a back up, so glad I did because I am busty and I needed the room of the 6. It was slightly loose in the hips but nevertheless made my curves look amazing. This is a show stopper of a dress. I would so rent this again!

A statement earring, these are very large. For the size they were not as heavy as I expected, but if you are the sensitive ear type you may find them heavy... I did not.
