I got so many compliments on this dress and love how the fabric makes it so unique. The cut of the dress provides a great shape with a narrow waist while not being contrictive, allowing you to eat and enjoy your evening (no spanx required!).
There are cutouts with nude fabric on each side which look great in photos and while this dress looks full in photos it's surprisingly light compared to other ball gown style dresses I tried. The dress is a size 2 and I got the waist/bust measurements from the Hayley Paige website - that said I typically wear 34 bras and size 27 jeans as I have wider hips. Since the back of the dress is low and the zipper ends at the lower back, the bust measurement is less imperative to be exact. Also the dress isn't tight below the waist so my wider hips weren't an issue.
Wearing this dress was one of my favourite parts of my wedding and I hope it finds a home with someone who will love it as much as I did.
