This dress made me feel like a movie star. It really is breathtaking and pictures don't do it justice. Video showcases the flowiness and the sparkle of the dress. I wore it to my destination wedding but it could be worn anywhere. The flowiness of the skirt makes it VERY comfortable and lightweight. However, when you move, the sequins and rhinestones underneath the tulle layer sparkle so you could wear it to a black tie affair as well. The top really hugs your torso and the straps help so you're not worried about pulling up the dress all night as you would with a strapless dress. I have a bigger bust (34D) so this was important for me. I was able to go to the bathroom by myself without assistance in this dress and dance all night! Sounds silly, but my first dress was a mermaid dress and once the seamstress told me I would need to take the dress off entirely to use the restroom, I knew it wasn't the dress for me :)
I have more photos and a video to share if wanted!
