Such an awesome night celebrating a good friend's achievement!
I ended up not wearing this dress, although I really did LOVE it. (So pardon the photo with hair/makeup not done...that was my "take a picture to send to friends" dress to decide which of the 2 I got I should wear!) This dress was SO soft and comfortable and just felt luxurious. The cutout w/ mesh + high slit added that little bit of sexy but without it being inappropriate. So why did I not wear it? (1) It was actually a little big. What's funny is that I tried this same size on in a store and it JUST fit. Like, had to wrestle with the zipper. But when the actual dress that I would wear arrived (instead of the one hundreds of people have tried on), it was loose. I wish it had fit a little tighter. (2) I'm short, and this was REALLY long, even in heels. I would have had to be very conscious of holding it up all night. (3) With a big chest getting the girls to not look saggy when you can't really wear a normal bra was hard. And I just didn't have the right equipment/tapes/whatnot to make that happen the way I would have wanted to. But I loved this so much that I'm keeping it filed away in my "favorites" so that if I need another fancy dress or just a backup option that I know I'll love, I can be ready.

I felt sassy all night long!
I LOVED these leggings! If I didn't have to return them, I wouldn't have. They were the perfect "dress it up" piece without being over the top fancy. The sizing was a little funky... I'm 5'2", 145-ish lbs. I'm generally a pretty solid size 6 in pants. I ended up wearing the medium ones because of the fit in the thigh area. The top/waist was way too loose, which wasn't idea. But there was no way I was fitting these thighs into the small. So if you have athletic/larger thighs, size up for your backup size. That does mean wearing a top that covers the loose top of the pants, which for me was fine, but just a heads up. Otherwise though, they were AWESOME and I wish I owned them.

I felt SO flippin' fancy in this dress! It was fun and fabulous and I felt like a princess!
Fit: I'm 5'2" on a good day, 36D chest, and normally wear a solid size 6 pants. The size 8 I ordered definitely wasn't zipping up past the ladies, so the size 10 it was! It was a little big in the chest, but I used double sided fashion tape to help keep it up. I wish the bodice hadn't bunched up so easily, but I'm short, so ya know, that happens. Overall: Uh, yeah, I LOVED this dress! SO SO MUCH! I got compliments all night on it, including being told it was the right amount of boob. And anybody with big boobs knows how much that means! I paired it with sequined high-top sneakers which kept it from being *too* fancy and more flirty/fun...but with just sneakers on it was a little long at the back; nothing horrible...it may have been a problem if I was up dancing all night, but it was a company holiday party, so just talking/mingling (in which case I gathered the bottom) or sitting to eat. Bonus: You can wear regular underwear and not have to worry about lines! Woo! After a full night of wearing it I suppose the boning in the bodice was a little uncomfortable, but I didn't notice until I was home and done for the evening. I wish I could wear it for every event EVER!
