I felt so elegant wearing this. The A line shape is very forgiving and the fabric has a nice stretch to it. I got compliments from people I did not even know at the hotel lobby before the event started.

Such a flattering silhouette for curvy women. It cinches in right where you want it to and flows away everywhere else. The pocket feature was the talk of my table at the reception because all the other ladies were jealous.

The satin is soft and not that stiff scratchy kind you sometimes find on formal wear. It moved with me on the dance floor and I never felt hot or sweaty even when the venue got a bit crowded.

It is hard to find a mother of the bride dress that does not look frumpy. This one is youthful but still very appropriate. The shoulder detail draws the eye up and the long skirt makes you look taller than you are.

The way this dress drapes is just gorgeous. It hides all the areas I am self conscious about while still giving me a nice waistline. I was able to sit eat and dance without feeling squeezed in.
