Floral Flounce Hem Gown
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 165lbs
Bust: 38C
Comfortable! Easy to eat & dance in
Not the most flattering bcuz it’s so flared but drapes nice, good fabric, cool enough for a hot daytime wedding. I wore 4” heels and it was dragging a bit in back had to gather up so as not to step on it. It’s pretty for a semi conservative wedding, not flashy, but elegant/classy. Not a show stopper, wouldn’t wear if I were 10 years younger (I’m 49) but no shapewear needed. Had to pin shoulders bcuz it was a bit big, could’ve sized down. It’s low cut, used tape in front but wore low back but regular bra.

Figure flattering if u get the right size; beautiful color

Movie star
Heavy fabric but high quality. First rented 12L fit perfect with my 4” heels. Upon re renting only a 14 was avail and couldn’t wear- falling off my shoulders. It smooths and hides everything and was comfy & stretchy even over my flabby arms. Planning to buy!

Bow Front Ruffle Dress
Osman Yousefzada x RTR
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 165lbs
Bust: 38C
Itchy sleeves, shapeless
Did not wear. Loved the deep purple undercoat but it was like a bag on me and was not flattering. The sleeves were very itchy & the idea of wearing for hours….. I’ve had gastric surgery 20+ years ago & maintained a 200lb weight loss but I do have excess skin that I’m conscious of, and my sizes vary greatly. 5’6 and 155-165 weekly fluctuations.
