Amara Floral One-Shoulder Gown

This dress was exactly what I was looking for! We have a wedding in Portugal in August and I wanted something airy and feminine. This dress ticked all the boxes.

I bought this dress larger because I’m old and I don’t like my clothes as tight as I wore them 50 years ago. I wear a size 12 but I bought an XL (14). I couldn’t even zip it up! I loved the dress and it doesn’t comment bigger than an XL. I would have bought a size 20 if I had to. I was so disappointed. When I returned it the sales associate told me Lulus run “at least a size or two small.” Why? Their dresses are so pretty. I ended up buying a different brand that I am just settling for. It’s a size 12 but not nearly as pretty as this dress.

I ordered this dress for an upcoming wedding in Colorado this summer. I just didn’t love the way it looked. There was a lot of fabric and layers and it just made me look bigger than I am. Even though the fabric is very lightweight it didn’t lay nicely. It was fine, but it was just OK.

If I were 3 in taller the dress would have looked fabulous on me so if you're 5'4 or under I would look for something else if you're tall and lithe I would definitely buy it.

The fit and quality were better than expected. I didn’t end up keeping because of the chest area and not being able to adjust.
