I ended up not wearing this dress for my event because I chose a different style. But this dress is stunning. The cut in the front is very flattering for your legs and I loved that it was full coverage on the top. The dress has some stretch to it, which makes it comfortable. Keep in mind that this dress has shoulder pads, so if you’re not into a more structured look, you may not like it. This would be great for a very formal event but I found it a little too matronly for an outdoor wedding. The color is absolutely gorgeous though and I wish I would’ve taken a picture of it for this review!

I received so many compliments about this dress. The color is rich and the style is romantic. The dress has some stretch to it, which made it very comfortable. I found the sleeves very easy to use (just fold down) but my chest is small. I wore 4 inch heels and didn’t have a problem with the length. I normally sweat a lot and this dress didn’t show anything throughout the night, despite being outside in Florida for hours. The sleeves do slide up to your shoulders if you lift your arms, which wasn’t a problem for me. But keep in mind if you’re wanting to raise your arms during dancing 😉. I did have one issue, but it was more of user error so here’s my tip based on that: use a dry deodorant or apply before putting the dress on and allow to dry. I use a creamy, natural deodorant which I applied while wearing the dress and it instantly showed through. Thankfully the sleeves completely covered my armpits so it wasn’t an issue. I wore black heels, used a black and gold purse and wore gold jewelry. I opted to forgo a necklace for statement earrings instead.
