Brunch in the city
Very bold color, super comfortable. Minimized my full bust (38DDD) . No spanx needed. Dress ran large OR was stretched out. Top was definitely stretched out and needed pinning or dress tape. A good compromise between classic and fun.

Fundraising event for client
Beautiful fabric. Nice weight. Very comfortable. A little large in the bust and I have 38DDD. I had to use dress tape to get it to stay where I wanted on the non-shoulder side. shorter in front with a little bit of a train or longer in back. I felt very elegant. Though I would be intimidated or overpowered by ruffle, but did not feel that way at all. Also, was afraid I'd feel exposed with open shoulder, but was quite comfortable. I was also able to use a removal strap on my strapless bra under the ruffle so I felt more supported. I work spanx just to help smooth things out, but they may not have been necessary. Would be curious if the dress would have been more flattering or curve conscious in a smaller size. I feel like this picture does not do the dress justice and that I did not look as apple shaped as I appear here, but it was the only full shot I got the whole night!

Brunch in the City
This fit nicely on my hourglass figure. It was very comfortable. The seaming on the bust is a little different, but I thought actually made my 38DDD look smaller. And everything fit fine. It may actually run a little on the large size. I liked the dress and was happy with it, but did not feel like it was anything spectacular. This was fine though as I was just going to brunch in the city.

This was a black tie fundraising gala that I was attending for work.
I thought this was going to be the dress I would wear, but I HATED it. I can't quite describe the extra fabric that was draped around my hips and bum, but it just hung there and looked ridiculous and added nothing but bulk. I also did not like the feel of the fabric of the dress. It looked horrible on my hourglass/pear shape.
