Overall I was very happy with my selection. I went to a daytime wedding in Baltimore in July where the reception was on a boat. I was looking for something classic with a nautical flair that wouldn't blow up with a gust of wind. Only a few cons to mention. The material didn't breathe well if I was in direct sunlight. Otherwise, I was perfectly comfortable. The weight of the fabric kept the dress down even on the breezy cruise, just as I had hoped. As others have mentioned, the top of this dress fit snugly, which wasn't a huge issue for me, but if you are well endowed in the bust, I would suggest going up a size. I rented a size 12 additionally to be safe, but I could tell by looking at it once I took it out of the box that it would be too big for me. My usual size 10 fit perfectly. Also, the waist line sat slightly higher than my natural waist so if you did put your hands in the pockets, it exaggerated the size of your hips. Regardless, I felt it was a great choice for my function and was sure to tell everyone who commented on it where I got it. (I also rented the necklace on the model which was heavy, but equally awesome!)
