This dress was GORGEOUS (I bought the one that's supposed to be off the shoulders). My husband and I had a photoshoot and I just felt regal in it. My only complaint was that the lace at the top would fold over easily. If I didn't have my shoulders back at ALL TIMES (great to remind me to sit up straight!) one or more of the curved parts would bend over. I'm not sure how to remedy this. I may have to send it back, or maybe I can find some clear glue that will keep it super stiff for the future. I don't know. The fabric was gorgeous. Even though I had "spanx" on, I still feel like if I didn't, the natural wrinkles in the dress would cover up any bumps at the hips.
