... this dress somehow did it.
As a plus sized lady, I have little hope to find something that makes me feel beautiful. But this dress is it.
The colour is gorgeous. The model is perfect for a lady with curves. The fabric is heavier than I thought (in a good way). And the length gives it a dream-like swish.
I accessorised this dress with flowers and pearls for a wedding. But it can easily pass as a lovely summer dress or (with possibly a waistcoat or corset) can even look lovely in the fall.
Very happy.
