I wanted to like this dress. It was a beautiful pattern. Unfortunately, it was more like a body-con dress, which is not how I saw it described. If you have any lumps, bumps, or problem areas... be aware that it will cling to ALL of them.

I wish I could've worn this dress, but there was a strict "no black" policy at my event. However, it was gorgeous! It fit like a sheath, but didn't cling to ANYTHING. I wouldn't have needed any shapewear AND could wear a regular bra. The only complaint is that the lace on the sleeves was a bit itchy, but not unbearable by any means.

I initially ordered the size 20, but it was unavailable, so they sent me the 22 as a backup. It ended up being a little loose everywhere, but nothing a few safety pins couldn't fix. I still had plenty of room to breathe and the color is STUNNING. I've never received so many compliments in my life. Get this dress!
