I always say that the BEST time to look for a formal dress is when you don't IMMEDIATELY need one. I wore this dress to my brother's SURPRISE 60th Birthday Celebration and first came across it months before the event. It met many of my requirements for a formal dress covering fit, sparkle, length & to somewhat hide my arms given that I now rarely wear sleeveless tops or dresses anymore unless I have a complementing shrug. I typically HATE dresses with a back zip as the sizing does not adequately accommodate my body shape as I will have to go up in size to fully zip & that then distorts the fit in the waist & breast area making it appear to be too large which would require the additional expense of alterations. I ordered this dress in multiple sizes starting with a size 16 where the overall fit was just too big. I also ordered in sizes 14, 12 & 10. While I was able to comfortably zip even the size 10, I ultimately settled on the size 12 as I felt it fit my midsection best.

I wore this to a gala and received so many compliments. Perfect fit and felt beautiful.

The dress is nice but the sequence are really itching my body, specially my armpit area
