The second I laid eyes on this dress I knew I had to have it. Now that I do, I couldn't be more in love with it! I wore this to a wedding and got compliments all night. I am 5'6", 230 pounds, bust 40 D/DD and purchased 2X, but could have sized down easily. The ONLY thing that could make this dress perfection would be pockets,bc and I'm going to have my tailor put some in.
