As a plus-size woman, finding a dress that makes me feel confident is a nightmare. This A-line silhouette is a lifesaver! It cinches right at the smallest part of my waist and flows over my tummy perfectly. The off-the-shoulder sleeves hide my upper arms which is my biggest insecurity. I literally cried when I looked in the mirror.

I ordered the navy blue and it is so rich and vibrant. Sometimes online photos edit the colors too much, but this was spot on.

I originally bought it for a wedding, but honestly, I could totally wear it to a fancy charity dinner or a birthday party.

Let's talk about the appliqué for a second, because it is absolutely gorgeous! It adds just the right amount of texture without being scratchy. I have super sensitive skin and was worried the lace would irritate me, but the dress is fully lined and so soft to the touch. I wore it to a gala and felt completely fabulous.

This dress will look great on my fiance's mother. She was ecstatic to receive it with enough time to alter the length.
