Isabella Embroidered Long Sleeve Gown

Beautiful dress, fits wonderfully (I'm a big busted 16-18W, I went for the 18W and it is a perfect fit). The dress is also comfortable - which is saying something for a formal gown. I would not HAVE to wear shapewear, but I will because I like to suck the tummy in a bit - but I just LOVE this dress.

This dress is lovely. For reference, I'm 6' tall and 273 pounds. I wear either a size 22 or 24 depending on the fit of an item. I ordered the 3X and it fit just right. I ordered several dresses to wear as mother of the bride and I was happy with all of them. At my size, I'm not accustomed to have so many choices! I love the drapes fabric on this dress, it really elevates it. I'm a busty woman, but it didn't reveal any cleavage, so I was happy with that. I was worried that the dress would be too heavy, but it wasn't as heavy as I thought, which was good. I ordered both the Navy Blue Blooms and the Moonlit Garden. I love black and pink together, so my favorite color was Moonlit Garden. (The bridal couple prefer the Navy, but they would have been fine with either color.) Ultimately, I decided to wear a different dress, but I would have been very happy with this one if I had never seen the other dress I'm going to wear.

this dress is absolutely STUNNING.. However, the construction of the interior shoulder and sleeves is AWFUL. When I am paying $400 for a gown, I expect the quality and workmanship to be flawless. There is nothing that keeps the shoulder from falling, no little silicone grabber, no interior construction, etc. It looks fantastic on this model however real life, it's much sloppier. So what was meant to be a spotlight moment, I was left off to the side adjusting my dress non stop! SO SO disappointing.
