I didn't end up wearing this, but LOVED the ruffle neckline and the back. I usually wear a size 6, which partially fit in this dress, but the 8R was more comfortable around the middle. Unfortunately though, both sizes did not fit in the bust. I either needed a longer torso or a bigger chest. I'm sure if I had messed with some fashion tape, it probably would have worked, but I was going to a gala for my husband's work and didn't want to risk any sort of slip-up! The back of this is gorgeous, it seemed very light and flowy, and comfortable...and it also has pockets! The length was pretty much perfect with 3.5-4 inch heels.

I wore this for a gala for my husband's work. I received so many compliments on this gown. The dress is beautiful in person, but really photographs well, too! It's a very comfortable dress- even though the waistband fit perfectly, it was big on top for me. Not noticeable at all, really. I'm a 34 C and with a backless/strapless pushup bra, it was better. The fabric is really thick and almost just floats around you, so it's nice if you have a bit of a tummy. I wore 3.5-4 inch heels and it didn't drag at all. Definitely recommend!!
