I needed a dress for my sister's Wedding Vows Renewal Ceremony in May-I will be the maid of honor--I saw this dress and noticed "slimming" was in the description and from there I was "hooked"--I am a plus size woman (18-20) so that's the size I ordered, thinking that if it was too small I had enough time to return it and purchase a larger size. When I received the dress it arrived in a small package. I said to myself, "OMG, the dress is gonna be too small". I tried it on and it was a perfect fit. The material was so light and flowing and the dress has a very "slimming" effect. The dress was so comfortable, too. I took pics of myself w/my phone, sent them to my daughter and sister--they absolutely loved it on me! The other ladies who will be bridesmaids saw it too and they will be ordering theirs, but in a different color, red! Not only will I be wearing it for my sister's Marriage Vows Renewal Ceremony, but me and a bunch of my girlfriends are headed to Jamaica in June. It will be the first dress I pack in my suitcase!
