This dress was a dream! The fabric is truly like a watercolor painting. People came up all night to look at it! At my height, I loved the length (mid-shin) but the straps were too long. Nothing a little masking tape and periodic gently backslaps from my hubby couldn’t solve.

I felt like a fashion icon in this dress. It was so different than anything else I saw the night of the event but the pleats kept it somewhat classic. The fit was perfect. As you can tell it’s a lot of fabric but with four pieces of double sided tape (and a lot of good posture) everything stayed where it should. The length was interesting. I’m so short and yet it barely grazed the ground without shoes. Make sure to pair with great shoes as they will be seen!

I got this dress as a last minute add on since the original order wasn’t available. I was concerned about it being a Long since I’m so short. Actually that extra fabric would have been okay. There was a lot of extra fabric on the top to make up for what was needed around the hips. The unadjustable straps were about 2 inches too long and would have kept to top from sitting right. That said, if my actual size had been available, this would have been a gorgeous dress!
