Leighton Sleeveless Mermaid Evening Gown

I didn’t realize the dress had the “V” in the back, since I only looked at pictures of the black dress online and not the blue one until after I ordered it. I first ordered a small and got the dress with the twisted “V” back. I ordered the x-small in the same dress and got the dress with the plain “V” back. Both dresses are absolutely gorgeous. It is odd that the twisted back is not what’s shown online. It was however the dress with the twisted back that fit me best (with alterations) and the one most flattering on me so it’s the one I kept. Both dresses are really beautiful though.

This simple but elegant dress is beautiful! Sadly I could not wear it to my event because my only hiccup was that it was a little short waisted for my very long torso, so there was a “gaping” in the back of the dress. I will say it was long enough for me if I stuck with 3 inch heels at 5’9 tall. I have a tall slender/athletic build and a small chest, fit very well except for the torso problem.

This dress is beautiful, comfortable and the material is buttery soft. I love how it made me look curvy even though I’m not. I love it but unfortunately I’m returning it because I order size large and it was big on me. For reference I’m 5.6” weight 160 lbs and 36DD. It was a bit long even with high heels so if you’re shorter than me you’ll definitely have to have a seamstress make it right for you. I have some others dresses to try on if I don’t find another that I love as much then I’ll go back and order a medium. I’m looking for a dress for my daughters Quinceañera. My husband and my mom said it’s a bit simple, but I like simple and elegant so it felt perfect for me, specially since I hate everything glitter. The color is a bit darker than the picture shown but is still gorgeous.
