I rented this for a circus/carnival themed gala and it was absolutely perfect! The velvet is fairly thin so it wasn’t too hot. It would work really well for anyone who has an hourglass type body shape—it drapes really well around the midsection without being too tight, and still flatters your curves. I am 5’4” 175lb and the 10R was a great fit (maybe sliiightly big, but comfortable) and it was the perfect length with heels on. I’m a 36C and there was some extra room in the bust, so it would work for someone with a larger chest.

I rented this last minute, and was really pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it! The sequins have a really lovely blueish shift under lights, and the design is very flattering. If you have really wide hips like me, the blouson top is really flattering and still accentuates an hourglass shape.
