I loved this dress and how it came together for my Sneaker Gala. The top part of the dress gave me the most issues. I am a DDD, so I should’ve sized up one more size. The two-sided tape did not stick to the material on the inside of the dress. I pulled it up all afternoon. I normally wear a 14 in US size dresses and this dress was a 16. A 18 would’ve fit my boobs perfectly. You may also will need help with the corset on the back of the dress. I had two people helping to get it tight enough. I know this may be because I am too heavy ??This dress is absolutely stunning. I was hesitant to order something with no reviews, but I'm so glad I took a chance on this one! It is of high quality material with a perfect satin sheen to it that is not the gaudy, cheap shine you sometimes see on cheap dresses or the flat, thin cotton of a summer dress. Great thickness and structure to achieve the right silhouette without petticoats.The front V is reinforced to be stiff enough to hold itself up, so all you need is a good strapless bra that has a deep V or the sticky ones. Keep in mind, because of the stiffness in the chest area, the dress doesn't stick super close to your boobs, so make sure to use something that won't be easily visible. Unlike the pics, the dress came with a nude shadow cover within the V that you can either use or cut out for a deeper V look.Because I'm 5'2 and 120 lbs, I ordered the small, and it's a few inches too long, which is no surprise. I will have it hemmed prior to the event. The royal blue color is gorgeous and makes my skin glow, even though I'm pale af in winter right now.I will say, it's difficult to get on by yourself and near impossible to cinch the back corset on your own once you're wearing it. You'll need someone to help. But even though it's a pain to get on, the corset back is great because you can adjust it to your body.The slit is not quite as high as in the pics, which was fine with me so I don't have to worry about any inappropriate wardrobe malfunctions. I love the peekaboo leg look that adds a little sexiness to it.I'm so thrilled wear this to the winter ball I'm attending at my hubs' medical school in a few weeks! Order this dress- you won't be disappointed.Update: I wore it to a ball, and it was splendid. I received so many compliments and felt like a princess. However- the bodice, although stiff in the V area, does not adhere to one's chest adequately to move about without showing everything I tried every type of strapless bra, and you really can't wear anything with it. After realizing this, I tried clothing tape, without success. Eventually, as you can see in the pics, I used a section of the corset tie to secure it more firmly. This worked pretty well, and I was able to dance the night away. But it did ruin the lovely, dramatic neckline I was looking forward to. However, even with this issue, the dress is gorgeous and a jaw dropper.This dress was used for my 41st birthday photoshoot in Paris, France?The product is amazing thank you so much!This dress was simply amazing! I didn't need any alterations or anything. Simply lace the back up as tight as needed so that it fits to your form. The only issue is that the actual split isn't as high as the picture. I would warn consumers of that. But it's a great product overall. The quality of the dress is very impressive for the price! I highly recommend!It was supposed to be strapless but other then that it was niceThis is beautiful gown fits like a glove and so vibrant !
