I was on the hunt for a mother of the bride dress that I felt good in and that didn’t make me look old! I had been losing weight and wanted something flattering and fun. I tried in just about every dress Amazon sells!!!!! Try and return, try and return! I had tried this dress on at Macys early on but they didn’t have my size in store or online. I was shocked when I found it on Amazon!!!! I purchased it in a regular size 16 which is pretty much what size most dress were running. Well I kept it until it needed to be returned and I took a chance on ordering a size down (14) and a petite. Perfect!!!!! I didn’t need any alterations!!! It felt great and fit well…and the petite just allowed my toes to peek out as I walked. The sleeves were fun and eye catching! The front had no low dips and the arm/should edges had a rubbery trim inside so they held onto your skin and stayed in place. I danced the night away without ever tugging or adjusting! My husband said he’d marry me again if it weren’t our daughter’s day!!! Fun, form fitting, and still modest and mature. ??
