I love how the dress fits, but it could only work if I was going to be standing up for my event. I couldn't lift my arms above my shoulders before the sleeves cut into my arm painfully. There is zero stretch to this fabric. Sadly this won't work for an upcoming wedding.

I wanted to like this dress, but it was a hard no the second I put it on. 1) the lace is very heavy and kind of itchy 2) it gapped at the front of the armholes in a weird way 3) even though the dress was loosely fitted and a very heavy fabric, it clung to any bump and made my belly button stand out like a spotlight. Ick.

I wore this to a formal wedding. It was incredibly comfortable and held up to a ton of dancing. I wore a regular black bra and you couldn't tell that the bra was different than the lace. It was sexy and also appropriate for a family wedding.

I wore this to the rehearsal dinner for a rooftop wedding. The skirt was so much fun on the windy rooftop! The bodice was very stretchy and comfortable. I did put a few stitches in the straps to shorten them an inch. I got SO many compliments! I would definitely rent this again!
