At 12 weeks pregnant having to attend a black tie wedding was very nerve wracking. I'm not showing yet but my chest is significantly larger than usual and I have some very serious bloating in my stomach. This dress hid both of these things well. I typically wore a size 10 and sized up assuming a 10 wouldn't fit as usual, I was spot on. The top of the dress worked well with my chest and the material flowed under the waist band so perfectly to hide my bloated stomach. While the dress fit perfect for this stage, I don't think it would a few weeks down the road as the waist band did definitely feel snug. I would imagine this dress would fit a true size 12 perfectly. It was just so beautiful and flowy, I truly felt like a princess every though I'm very self conscious right now!

I wore this dress to a black tie gala and received compliments all night. It was so nice to wear something other than black, especially during early spring. I felt like the dress ran a little large. I had to pull up the top all night. I am usually a 12 because I have large hips but this dress was so loose and flowy I could have comfortably worn a size 10. I'm 5'5" and wore 4 inch heels, I felt like if the dress had been 1" longer it would have been perfect, it still worked though. Overall, I was very happy, just wish the size 10 had been available.
