Overall the dress was amazing and the compliments didn’t stop the whole night. The color is brighter and more of a true-red than the stock photos but even better in person. Gold jewelry was an absolute must as a finishing touch, made me feel like a queen. Couple quick fit tips… if you have smaller boobs they will not fill out the cups. A sticky push-up bra (that sticks on the front and has no sides or back) did the trick though, filled it out nicely, and you couldn’t see it at all. Also, for my bigger-booty ladies, the hips/butt fit was a squeeze for my normal size 6, and then the 8 was pretty loose everywhere else. There’s not a ton of stretch/give to the material. Some tight spanx did the trick and I ended up being totally comfortable in the 6 but I had to run out for the spanx the morning of the wedding so just rec that you have good, no-show/no-seam Spanx on hand for this one. (My original pair showed through the dress which is why I had to get new ones.) I would absolutely still wear it again.

GORGEOUS dress! Super classy, with a touch of sexy. I didn’t end up wearing this dress - the photo is of me in the 4L, which was a little short in the front and which I had to wear spanx with and still showed a little too much tummy for me. The 6L which i don’t have a photo or me in was much better and I didn’t need the spanx. I ended up choosing the Navy Stanfield Gown, for the X factor/open back, but for a more conservative crowd I absolutely would have worn this.
