The dress was very comfortable, great bustline (with some help of fashion tape), loved the sparkle. The sequins irritated a tiny bit under the arms, but I got used to it really quickly. I felt like it wasn't the most flattering dress--it hid the right places like my stomach that has not yet recovered from my second pregnancy, but I think it may have accentuated my curves a bit too much.

This necklace was suggested for the TRINA TURK Portrait of Elegance Shift. It was too short for the neckline and was hidden most of the night.

Super comfortable, color was great, loved it! My brother's wedding was at a Catholic church at the end of February, so I was looking for something with sleeves, with a conservative neckline, and that would hide my postpartum belly that is sticking around 9 months after my 2nd was born. This worked perfectly. The 10 was more form fitting but was a little shorter than my mom would have appreciated and would have taken a little more effort to zip. In an ideal world, the 12 wouldn't have been quite so loose in the middle section, but I was so comfortable the whole night, I can't really complain.
