I felt beautiful. That’s all that matters, right? The dress hugged me in all the right places and the wrap covered my arms which I’m self-conscious about. A total win for me.

I ordered this for a vow renewal ceremony we’re planning for next summer. I wanted something elegant but not poofy like a ballgown. The mermaid silhouette is super flattering on my curves. It’s a bit snug in the hips, so maybe size up if you’re curvy like me, but the fabric feels nice against the skin.

The flower accent is huge! It’s definitely the main focal point. I actually decided to remove the wrap for the ceremony and just wear the dress strapless, then added the wrap for dinner. It’s like having two dresses in one. The boning in the bodice gave me good support, which is rare for me to find.

The sizing chart is pretty accurate. I measured myself three times to be sure and ordered the size that matched my largest measurement. It fit my hips perfectly and I just had the top taken in a smidge. The tailor was impressed with the construction for an online purchase.

The wrap thingy is cooler than I thought. It adds this old Hollywood vibe that I wasn't expecting but totally loved.
