I LOVE this dress! I got compliments all night and was sad to have to send it back. I read other reviews and agree with some that it runs a bit large so you may want to get the optional 2nd gown and order a size smaller as a back up. Fortunately, I had no chafing what so ever under my arms, unlike the terrible experiences others wrote about. It's a heavy gown but if you have the right fit, it will stay up. It's long so you will need to wear relatively high heels (unless you are very tall). The fabric has more stretch than I expected so if you have curves and are concerned, don't be it will look great! It is a fitted gown so if you are uncomfortable about how it may hang on you, look into shape wear as it will show any lumps and bumps you may have...but don't want to share with the world ;)

I should have listened to some of the other reviewers and wore the right size - I went up a size because I thought the bust was a little snug when I tried my true size on. However, it stretched out throughout the night and I found myself pulling it up now and then. I did have some irritation under my arms from the sequins but nothing too terrible (it was worth it) and I did wear it for approximately 11 hours! Other than that, length was perfect (regular), it was comfortable, overall the dress was a huge hit and other reviewers weren't exaggerating about the wow factor, I was surprised by the number of compliments. Tip: You should wear good shape wear unless you have a very flat stomach because the ruching can make you look big around the middle otherwise.
