Made for taller women, but too gorgeous to pass up!
This dress was made for a taller woman, but it's detail was so gorgeous and the length was perfect for a Black Tie wedding at the Palmer House in Chicago that I had to select it. It's one of those dresses that when you step out, people nod their heads and say, "That's the one!". I had to wear heels and even then, I had to hold my dress slightly, but that didn't deter from how beautiful it was. The back especially. I loved the high neck and full coverage in the front. I work a NuBra with this and it worked perfectly. I'm a short, large girl and this dress still made me look beautiful. Definitely, one to consider, just make sure if you're short you've got some 4+ inch heels on hand to really bring out the beauty in this dress.

Just didn't work
This was a pretty dress, not exactly right for a Black Tie wedding, but that's not why I returned it right away. Unfortunately, I'm just too short for this dress. Short gals have short torsos and this dress needs someone with a longer torso or everything bunches up and doesn't sit right. It's not flattering on a shorter, larger, rounder body unfortunately. Pretty, but just wont work, even with heels.

Perfect to fit everything you need.
It was a chain strap tucked inside if you need to carry it like a purse, otherwise, holding it isn't an issue. It could fit my Pixel XL, c/c, ID and a cloth for my glasses. Just right for everything I need without looking inelegant.

Beautiful, classic look
The earrings are beautiful, but a bit heavy. My ears were aching the day after wearing it to a wedding the evening prior. They did pull the entire look together so dealing with a little pain for maximum beauty was worth it.
