Embellished Ruffled One Shoulder A Line Gown

So much better than the photos. The dress has sparkle, looks more Celestine and appropriate to the fall and winter season than the photos suggest. It is a little heavy, a true formal gown. It fit very well albeit a bit smaller than my normal size. Well made and constructed. My hips are smaller than my shoulders and the skirt would have allowed for more hip but laid flat for my relatively slimmer - more inverted pear shape (post menopausal belly and chest but no gain on hips!).

This is a beautiful gown with gorgeous details, but it definitely is a heavy dress to wear, as there are several layers of fabric. It appears much bulkier on the body, than the photos portray. The skirt portion is actually quite poufy, even though the photos make it seem like the dress hangs pretty straight. Also, the bottom hem of the top embroidered layer of fabric is cut in a pretty jagged way, right through some of the embroidery details. I was surprised at the quality, especially given the price.
