This dress was gorgeous and so fun to wear and dance in. I got loads of compliments from strangers. The only issue was it was impossible to cover my bra. I guess it was too big in the bust, which has never happened to me before - but a smaller size wouldn't have fit elsewhere. I ended up needing 3 safety pins and a lot of fashion tape and I still wasn't confident it was holding right.

(Sorry for the horrible photo!) I was nervous about this dress but it was amazing. I got compliments from folks in the fashion industry and a complete stranger at the end of the night and I felt really good in it. Honestly I could live in that dress. I was worried it might be too tight but it fit really well. even though it's long sleeved and high necked it didn't feel matronly at all. The material wasn't too heavy - perfect for an inside/outside event in the mid 60s. I wore wedges and it wasn't dragging at all. There is a semi open back and I wish I'd been able to be a little more creative with the bra situation.

It was cute but shorter than I'd expected, possibly because of my chest, so I didn't end up wearing it. But a bigger size might have worked.
