Beautiful, well-made, sexy gown...but
I bought this gown online in a size 10 given the comments from the two previous reviewers that the gown ran a bit big. It was near perfect fit in the waist & hips, but OVERLY tight in the bust area. While it did zip up, and may possibly have stretched over time in the front to fit me, the gorgeous netting in back did not have stretch along the satin band at the top & it accentuated my "back fat"....like I had a bit of a "muffin top" along the edge of the corset. :(
I adored the gown, it is truly well-made, and it hides the baby belly women my age can never seem to get rid of. It fit like it had been made for me nearly everywhere except in the bust. If it goes on sale again, I may try the size 12 and have them alter the waist & hips.
The dress itself is completely opaque in a nice, heavy twill that looks much more expensive than it costs. It is *THE DRESS* for an hourglass figure, so sexy but still very appropriate for even a church wedding. Just watch out for that bustline if you happen to be bigger in that area than your average girl... I am 39" (36D) bust, 30" waist, and 41" low hip. The waist would have had to be taken in had I kept the size 10, but that's it.
I hope to get my size 12 during the next sale!

Different and so flattering
This is the dress I ordered, and I absolutely love it! There is nothing else in the store like this. The fit is true mermaid, so it hugs the curves very well. The mesh back is classy but sexy. The fabric is a little heavier than I expected, but it has an amazing texture and I think it helps disguise any imperfections. Note that the back drape really needs to be tacked down - otherwise you can't see the flower and the mesh very well - but does not come that way from the designer. Overall, I think this is a simple, yet dramatic and sexy, pick. It does run slightly large.

LOVE!
This is the second dress I purchased and I absolutely love it! It is elegant with a touch of sexy! Included, is a plain matching sash and a pretty floral decor inside the back drape. I had tried on other VW dresses but they didn't move me the way this one did. I am 112 lbs 5'2" and fairly curvy. And this dress certainly showed off my curves! The only difference from other VW dresses is that this one runs a tiny bit larger. To my surprise a size 2 was loose on me (compared to her other dresses).
