I loved this dress at first sight. When I was at the bridal shop, another woman was trying on this dress and after she took it off, I tried it on, and EVERYONE (even the other bride) had their eyes on me!! I couldn't stop smiling. The other bride said "you HAVE to get that dress" of course I agreed. This is definitely a dress for the taller person, I am 5'9, so a fuller dress doesn't consume me. It was such a fun dress, I felt exactly like me in it! Also to those wondering, my dress was a 10. and needed no alterations. I measured as a 12 (in my hips) but ordered the 10 anyway, with the corset back it wasn't even an issue! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
