Reasons to love this dress:
1. It is SUPER comfortable - could easily wear all day without any itching or tightness or heaviness
2. It is incredibly flattering - can eat and drink all you want and the corset will keep you looking slim
3. Bustle was added to the back- and it is easy to do, so it should only take a few minutes and not your whole cocktail hour!
4. The volume of the dress looks so amazing in photos but is still easy to walk in!
5. I bought this dress when I was 140lbs and wore it at 125lbs and didn't need any alterations because it kind of fits well different body types with the corset
6. I inserted silicone bra inserts so that I didn't need to alter the bust - would fit from an A cup to a D cup if willing to put in inserts for smaller boobs :)
Maybe most importantly - it is lucky! Kept rain away on the big day!!! I hope it is lucky for you too!
I am 5'7" and un photos I am in 2in heels
