This was actually a backup dress. I was the MC for a 300 attendee event at a Nature Museum, and I achieved my goal of standing out in the crowd. This dress was a little more than I was originally planning, but it was fun, and I think made the whole event feel special. My guests alternately described the look as "the Oscar statue" to "the golden mermaid". I had to be a bit mindful of the top gapping, but it didn't move too much. Would probably have looked great with a strapless bra. Very comfortable on a curvy body, though it left nothing at all to the imagination. Not a confidence-optional dress. I needed to tape up a 3" hem in order to run my event for 5 hours. I couldn't walk very quickly once taped, but it held and I looked dignified walking slowly through the museum.

My dress arrived too late for my event. Once it arrived I tried it on just for fun, and I would have loved to have worn it. Very comfortable, and looked great. Too long for me (as usual) so I would have had to tape the hem.

Hemming 3 inches all the way around this dress took a hit minute, but when we were done you could not tell. Held for about 5 and a half hours, and I didn't trip once. The little ruler on the tin actually came in quite handy

Nice amount of swish, very comfortable for sitting at a formal dinner and clapping a lot. Low cut but no gapping issues. I'm 5', so even with heels it touched the floor a bit.
