Teddi Strapless Corset Bodice Body-Con Cocktail Midi Dress

I am thrilled this dress is working out for a guest of wedding dress. It fits true to size. The structure of top is well done and gives great shape. The ruffles on the side do not add too much to a curvy girl. Very flattering. I have another dress that is sequined by this brand and always a go to for me for cocktail events.

I wanted to love this dress but am returning. The fabric is gorgeous - smooth and giving and substantial. The boning around the bodice is very fashionable. But the folds design element around the waist is just "too much". It truly bulges out in a big way. I thought it might lay flatter. In any event, I'm returning the dress. Also, it was too tight to zip up along my back. So it may run slightly small in the chest/back.
