I was having a hard time finding a less formal wedding dress at the wedding shops and it was actually my now husband that showed me this one he found on Amazon of all places. I was hesitant to buy but the reviews were favorable so I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did! The quality was just as nice as any dress I had tried on at wedding store but only $200! It fit me like a glove, was comfortable and went well with the red rocks in Sedona, AZ. I am 5'5 and weighed about 165 and wear a 38DD and I ordered an XL It was a little long so I just wore so platform sandals to give me some height and wore a poofy slip to give the bottom a little volume. Being bigger busted, I was impressed "the girls" stayed in (used a little bra tape to give some makeshift support) but otherwise braless. I wasn't sure of the deep cut sheer area showing my cleavage but decided not to alter it however I did have to have seamstress shorten shoulder straps since it's not adjustable. We had ceremony at base of a mountain then I threw the dress in a garbage bag and we hiked up to Cathedral Rock for some sunset photos. When we got to top, I hid behind sheet and changed back into dress and no wrinkles...everything fell back into place because it was quantity material. I did not lace up the back with the extra string for corset look..the didn't look right on me because it dug into my "fluffy" skin which wasn't flattering. I thought it looked better without it for me. All in all, this dress exceeded my expectations and was the perfect dress for an outdoor wedding in Sedona. If you are thinking about it, I'd give it a chance! I think you'd be pleasantly surprised.
