This dress is truly stunning in person and one of a kind. The fabric is unbelievably rich and the color is gorgeous. The dress has structured draping which adds to the drama of the style. While this dress is fitted- the thick structured fabric keeps the look modest. If you are looking for a polished, conservative, high fashion look- this is it! I would also highly recommend this for any fashion-forward mother of the bride. I am typically a 0-2 and the size 2 fit me like a glove at 5'5 120, 34C. The style runs true to size- but slightly small and the fabric has no stretch- so definitely size up for back up. Curvier women will want to size up. You can either wear a strapless bra, or go bra-less as the fabric is quite thick. This look will flatter all body types, just keep in mind it will hit below the knee to tea length if you are under 5'7. This dress feels every bit of the $5,000 price tag!! I highly recommend this dress!
