Jovani, Size 10. Beautiful, flattering and COMFORTABLE! It has spandex, so hugs your curves without suffocating you. The dress has a heavy, wide band in the bottom, so it has a more structured lay for the hem, vs flowing. Very forgiving due to the heavier fabric, so no bumps or back bulges. Outdoor, October Florida wedding, and I was comfortable in the 85 degree weather. Worn five hours. NO stains, NO accidents, NO tears.
I got so many compliments from guests, wedding planner and her team, and even the catering staff commented. It got a lot of attention during my fittings at the bridal boutique in Kansas City, where I purchased it. One Mom took pictures and wanted to buy it. It is a show stopper without being over bearing, and appropriate for a Mother to wear.
Built-in bra and boneing.
I am 5'9", 155 lbs. 56 years old. I wear a size 8 or Medium at White House Black Market. The dress size does seem to run small. I wore a 3" heel.
