This dress was the answer to my quest for a beautiful wedding guest dress. The pattern is more geometric (not floral), and the flowing of the material is soft and elegant. The tie on the side of the neck adds a nice feature to the gown, and the bodice complimented my figure. I have a long torso and often A-line dresses with waistlines fall too high on my shape making me look pregnant. The bodice of this dress fell perfectly. The halter style is very complimentary without making my large chest stand out too much or look saggy. The fabric also has some silver threading that adds to the elegance. I can accessorize based on the silver for a more formal look or to the fabric color for a more casual look.
