I adored this dress even as a mid size girly (xl) this was such a cute dress

There are no two ways about this dress, either you’ve got it or you don’t. It unlocks the goddess in you. The only bad news is, it is only made for women with a hour glass figure. But the good news is, if that’s you then you’ve found a winner.

This dress was a hit at the NYE Ball. It’s slinky, it’s commanding and it’s a show in of itself. It’s probably too sexy for a wedding but it’s great for a formal event or party.

Material
The dress is a luxurious duchess satin so there is a hint of weight to it.

Fit
The lower half is true to size. The top is a wee bit small for larger cup sizes - I’m a D-cup and added double-sided tape to prevent nip-slips. If I had sized up for the top then the bottom half would have been too big on me so I went with the headlight show. Also, the shoulder straps are adjustable.

Length
I’m 5’4” and wearing 4” heels and it was perfect. 

Getting Into It
The straps are elastic which means you don’t have to be a contortionist to get in or out of the dress - I did it by myself and so can you. The easiest way to put on this dress is to first unhook all of the clasps that go around the ribs and the bust - just leave the set that go over your shoulders closed. Then step-in and pull the shoulder set overhead and into place. The rest are easy to fasten just like swimsuit straps. 


So fun. Love this dress. Ordered the small but they couldn’t send it to me so I got the medium, had to get crafty with same fashion tape and safety pins but made it work and loved it! I wish I would’ve gotten the small tho bc I think that would’ve fit perfectly

Wore it for my home coming court and it would have been perfect if I didn’t get dress coded😞. But over all the dress was amazing. The structure the fabric the straps. Everything was just right. Loved it so much I think about it all the time 

Use lots of tape! I wish I had because it would not stay in place. The top was tiny and bottom was large, so it didn’t fit me well and didn’t look flattering. But would suit someone very lean and narrow—it’s a gorgeous and unique dress and the material is luxurious. 

Get your double-sided tape ready for this one!Pros: well-constructed, thick material; sits gorgeously on the body
Cons: without double-sided tape my boobs would’ve popped out; the 3 straps on the sides didn’t stay put (at least not on me) so it took away from the intended look; very hard to put without assistance; super long for a short person ( I wore 4 1/2 inch heels and the dress still dragged on the floor)
