The minute I stepped into the Hispanic Heritage Month gala I rented this for, I started receiving compliments! This beautiful dress made me feel like a queen 👑 The zipper is a bit tough to get over the seam between the skirt of the dress and the bodice, so I’d definitely recommend someone help you with getting it over that part. I’m not sure if I was just not busty enough for the top—the collar poked out a little but it wasn’t an issue and didn’t seem to show in photos or keep me from talking/eating. And FYI it has pockets! This is a very structural dress so you’ll need a bit of room to sit down. There is ZERO give to this dress and if you’re planning on using shapewear, the back is low cut so any shapewear that goes to your waist or above will show.

I wore this to a conference gala. It was beautiful and I received a ton of compliments while wearing it! I wish I would’ve had an appropriate bra to wear with it, but the bust area was pretty constricting—not sure if anyone in a D+ cup would be comfortable in this. This dress’s fabric has ZERO stretch. If you have a large butt, fabric will gather a bit along the back zipper.
