The Dress

Brand new with tags Hera Couture Maddison dress with custom lining. I purchased this dress last year and never wore it. It's a size 10 and unaltered! I fell in love with the dress because of the unique lace pattern. It has this beautiful refined art deco design that I've never seen before. It's incredible! The subtle beading, too! The dress is a perfect balance between classy and contemporary. The shape hugs in all the right places - the fit around the ribs and hips gives a perfect hourglass silhouette, but the flare that begins around the thighs is gradual/gentle. It's not "loose" but it's danceable for sure...

I loved the cut of this dress because I have a larger chest (32DD) and wanted something dramatic but not overly revealing. This dress was PERFECT, and incredibly versatile in the shape--the model in the designer's photos has a totally different body type, but you can see how well it flatters her shape, too. Other than the cups, the bodice is just a touch sheer.

Since I never had it altered, I don't have images wearing this exact dress, but I've included: 1) photos of the exact dress, 2) the designer's pictures and 3) a picture of me trying it on originally. This way you can see that the dress is in perfect condition and an example of it on two different body types.
