I don't typically wear tight fitting clothes or plunging necklines but for our wedding court ceremony my fiance (now hubby) wanted me to wear something sexy and I wanted to be comfy. This dress satisfied both criteria and looked great. I am typically a size 14 and 56 and the 2X fit me well. I have a bit of a tummy that I am self-conscious about. This dress hugged me at all the right places, hid my belly and got me many compliments. The belt was lose and so I wore a different silver stretch belt. This dress will be special for me and I will now wear more dresses with this silhouette.
