I wore this dress for a military ball and it was a great choice! We are currently in Hawaii so I wanted to wear a dress that was more than the ho-hum black with no personality, or looked like a prom dress. I received many compliments on myself and the dress. I would definitely recommend this gown! Fit: After reading reviews, I chose to order size 16 with a backup size of 18. I tried both on and was able to wear both. However, I felt the 16 was a little snug in the rib cage for me so I wore the 18 to the event. I was a little worried about wearing a strapless gown, but had no issues with anything slipping/falling down. To address my worry, I chose to wear a strapless bra as it added just enough bulk for my comfort. To be honest, I could've worn this gown without a bra (there's a built-in bra) and been fine. The length was just right, skimming the ground as I stood. I could've worn sneakers and no one would've known! I had zero issues with rubbing under my arms. This gown was great at hiding my fluffiness and I didn't feel the need to wear any special slimming products (perfect!). The fabric appeared to be heavy but I found it to be comfortable in weight for a long night. I was able to squat, sit, walk, and dance in this gown without problems all night long.
