No black tie appropriate
This is a knit dress. It wouldn't have been appropriate for my black tie events.

Bomba Dress

Size Worn: SR
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 32B
Heavy fabric
Beautiful dress! It is made with a heavier fabric and the inside is lined with satin in the same floral print so if you event is outside you may get hot. I am a pear shape and I needed some push up in the bust and shapewear for the bottom. This dress has very little stretch but does have boning so you won't have to worry about pulling it up repeatedly.

Great fit for Pear, hourglass or athletic frames
This dress was lightweight and very comfortable. Rushing at the lower tummy area/hips helped hide post baby softness. Great length for heels as a 5'5 person.

Pears will need padding.
The waist and below fit like a glove. I'm a 32 B on a good day and needed some padding up top to make everything lay correctly. I loved wearing this dress! I got so many compliments!

Pear shaped will need padding.
I normally wear a size 6 and I am pear shaped. The bottom fit great but the top was a little big and was lower cut than I wanted for my occasion. I tried to wear a backless, strapless adhesive bra with it but it showed at the clasp.

Nice fit and weight
Beautiful color. Medium weight fabric. I could have sized down to a 2 if I wanted a more form fit but I stayed with the 4 to give my first trimester bump some space. I am a true pear shape and the cut of this dress didn't make me self-conscious about my bottom half. Would wear again.

Not for a pear shape
I wasn't able to wear this dress. The top fit (maybe a tad big) and the bottom was too snug. The dress has no stretch so it didn't work with my pear shape.

Got compliments from groomsmen to little old ladies!
Pros: Sexy and classic. The dress has a little stretch and the straps are elastic so the dress stays in place all night. No worrying about adjusting or pulling it up. Cons: I have a pear shape and this dress would be more flattering on someone with more bust and less thigh. This dress is all about the girls! It also has a significant slit so while it fit standing, when I sat down I showed a lot of leg.
