I loved this dress when I bought it, but did not feel as in love as I should have been for my wedding day, so I found a different dress elsewhere that I am wearing to my wedding in May.
The Rebecca Ingram dress is un-altered and has never been worn to an event. I have tried it back on twice to make sure I wouldn't change my mind.
This dress is a dress size 26. I wear a pant size 22.
A little about the fit and shape:
My body type is widest through my lower stomach and booty, so the dress is sized to fit that area and be tailored in at the chest and the illusion shoulder straps. The dress is a size 26, but I'm a size 22 in dresses, size 22 in pants, size 3X (varies from brands) in shirts/tops, and bra size (depending on brand) ranging from 44-46 B/C.
This dress was purchased so it would fit my hips and waist.
During the original consultation where I picked this dress, the photo's show the dress as it would be tailored and taken in around the chest for me. I am also 6 feet tall and the length of the dress was perfect for me to wear flats and not need to have the length taken up at all (or extended!).
