Everything about this dress was perfect. I'm normally not crazy about this type of neckline on myself, so I chose this one as a backup. But I ended up falling in love with it the moment I tried it on! The beautiful navy makes a nice alternative to your typical black dress while still remaining classy and elegant. I paired this with silver jewelry. It fit true to size and I didn't have to worry about it falling down at all.

I rarely have the issue of the bodice of a gown being too big on me...I wear a size 38D so usually I have the opposite problem. This dress was absolutely gorgeous if it weren't for the top part of the gown being too big. I could've gotten it taken in 3 inches to make it fit. For a strapless dress, it's important that the top fits snugly so that you're not pulling it up all night. I ended up wearing a different dress for my event, but if it weren't for the loose top I would've picked this one.

I ended up not wearing this to my event because I wasn't crazy about the fit. This dress was 2 sizes up from what I normally wear (I usually wear an 18 and this was a 22) and it still created some "problem areas" around the tummy area. The length was fine, but the material is unforgiving so make sure you wear Spanx or some other type of shapewear on this form-fitting gown!
