I wore this dress for my December Winter wedding in Ohio. It was perfect. It was so cute! I ordered a size 10 and had a seamstress take in the waist and remove the padding in the bust. She also needed to take in the shoulders so that it would be form fitting. It looked beautiful! It was perfect for the ceremony and also the restaurant/bar reception. It was great for dancing too. I loved that the dress was different from the common strapless, swamping gown. It is a great choice!
