Ordered this as a backup. Did not end up wearing it but I really loved it. Great fit, very comfy, has pockets, and can be worn with a regular bra. Bodice material is a little stretchy (I wish the bodice had been fancier - definitely plan to jazz it up with accessories). I did not love how full/pleated the skirt was at the waist. This does hide the tummy area, but I felt like it made my (already large) butt and hips look even bigger, which I did not love. Still, I almost wore this one but ended up going with something a little more daring.

Rented as a backup. Did not wear. Very beautiful and elegant (but not grandma-ish). Perfect with a French twist and long gloves. Sort of a formal “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” vibe. This was a VERY tight squeeze to zip over my underbust area, but it was a perfect fit otherwise. You could go braless OR you could wear a bra and just cross the straps in front to hide them for more support. I will likely rent it again but might try sizing up to a 12 (I’m normally a 10)

Didn’t end up wearing this because it was a little too small in the ribcage/underbust area, but I did really like it. I could definitely have worn it without a bra, which is very rare for me to say! Size up one and plan to pin the straps unless you have really tall shoulders, but if you size it right this would be a very pretty dress.
