I wore this to a black tie wedding in New Orleans. It was perfect for the occasion. I have larger hips and backside so it did tend to ride up while I was dancing but no one seemed to notice. The hem on the dress was tripping me up so I did have to hold it while walking- but it was kind of fun to dance with—and I was able to tie it up when I got tired of holding it. Very fitting through the mid section, and I had eaten my way through Nola by the wedding night, but that’s on me! It was sexy and glamorous.

I needed the 12R on this one but it was unavailable. The top was perfect but for my especially wide hips and large backside, I need the extra room. The fabric has no give. There is no lining, just chiffon fabric. Nip covers required and not even sure about underwear. Tried to do spanx but you could see everything under the dress. Perhaps the larger size would have been better for that. Gosh, I wanted to wear this dress so badly! I did order the orange gown from the same label and it was a better fit and less sheer. Equally as stunning.
