This was a last minute back up that was overnighted to me when the dress I originally chose was unavailable (which I wasn't notified about until a couple hours prior to shipping, which is a whole other story). I was relieved that it fit. I am large busted (38FF), so it was slightly snug in that area, but an overall a great look for a formal wedding. I added a metallic belt of my own and was overall content with the results.

The color and shape of this dress were beautiful, I definitely fit in with the other vibrant colors at the wedding, and the pockets gave me somewhere to put my hands. The top part of the dress, however, was very snug. I am a 38FF, and I had a difficult time taking a deep breath. There is no forgiveness in the fabric, so take that into consideration when reserving this. I usually take a 10/12 for dresses, but I am glad I ended up going with a 14 for my back up size, I couldn't fit into the 12. Also, reserve a bra extender for this dress, as the back slopes down to a "v".
