Wore it for my graduation and a friends wedding, EVERYONE LOVED IT, I LOVED IT. Even commenting on my social media pictures asking where I bought it. The Spanx definitely saved my life though, worth the investment. I went braless as well, after trying it on with every bra I own, I realized it really looked better without it and just took away from the dress.. Only complaint is the sleeves are a bit short and ride up (currently pulling them down in the pic ahahaha) but the dress really is a steal so I don't mind at all.
