Wore this gorgeous, form fitting gown to a formal Kentucky Derby party and it was a HIT! I received SO MANY compliments. Few things- I tucked the straps into my dress and wore it strapless. As a result, I had to occasionally adjust the dress, as it would gradually slip down and expose the back of my bra throughout the event. Had I worn the straps, that likely wouldn’t have been an issue. Not a big deal, but worth noting. Also, I definitely needed to wear a strapless bra. Without it, there wasn’t any lift and it gave a ‘uni-boob’ look. The under skirt is form fitting so you just need to be mindful about that, as there really isn’t any stretch to it. The detailing and ruching in the front is perfect for hiding any tummy imperfections and I felt I could enjoy food without feeling like I had to ‘suck it in’ all night. I paired this gown with hot pink shoes, but you could have easily worn red as well since the floral design contains both colors. This is an eye-catching dress so if you’re wanting to be noticed, I HIGHLY recommend it.

This dress is even more STUNNING IRL. I ORDERED A SOZE 2 and 4. The 2 fit perfectly! The ONLY issue is that the straps, even though adjustable, kinda bothered me off and on throughout the night. Mostly bc of the way they rubbed against me skin. But it was so minor it doesn’t take away from my overall love of this dress! (Ps- I did need to wear a strapless bra) Tons of Carrie vibes, especially since I wore the silver Sedaraby d'Orsay Camo Pumps Manolo’s. It was like this shoe was made for this dress- so perfect!! This is definitely a dress I would buy!

Dress fit beautifully! Not see through at all. Wore a racerback bra. I wouldn’t recommend undergarments unless they were seamless bc you could def see a panty line. If I could of altered it, I would of had the the shoulder seam shortened to keep the back of the dress at the nape of the neck from gaping. If that makes sense? Other than that- so many compliments! It was perfect for my husbands military retirement and even more perfectly paired with my iconic blue Manolo’s! I had a hard time sending this dress back! I wanted to keep it!

This gown is gorgeous! The color is absolutely stunning and the style and shape of this gown is a statement maker. Got so many compliments throughout the night. The only issue I had was it does run a little big. I am 5'7, 120lbs, curvy/hourglass, 32D, typically wear a size 4. Always a little unsure how formal gowns run, so I ordered a 4 and a 6 (most of the time I feel gowns run small). The 4 fit ok. Felt a little big in the torso/hips. Fit great in the chest though. The 6 just hung off me. The material is stretchy and has some give, which concerned me as I didn't want the dress to become stretched out as the night wore on. Thankfully, the dress held its shape the whole evening. Tried to have a size 2 overnighted to me, but unfortunately, they were out of stock. I made the 4 work but I wish I had the size 2, as it definitely would of hugged all my curves and given me a much more defined shape. Pros: Comfortable Flattering Eye Catching Stretchy Cons: Runs big Feels heavy Zipper would become 'stuck' around the ribs. Overall: Absolutely loved this gown! I probably would of kept it, if I had ordered a size down. If you're on the fence, order your 'normal' size and then one a size down.
