The dress is really, really pretty, but I opted not to wear it. The plunging neckline was a bit too extreme for me. I tried pinning it but I couldn’t get it right. Sadly I decided to wear something else.

The 12 wasn't available so I ordered the 10 and crossed my fingers. It was snug around my ribs but I could still breathe. I loved the train that even with 3" heels still swept the ground. In reviewing the photos, this dress seems to flatter all body types and is universally age appropriate! No special undergarments were necessary. Loved the dress!!

I ordered a 10 and a 12. They both fit however the slit in the skirt of the 10 was harder to manage. There was a convenient snap in the top which helped keep the top together. The dress was a little bit long, but with a pair of heels it was fine. The dress was gorgeous and I felt quite glamorous all evening.
