Trini Shift Dress

Classic little white dress but definitely needs an underdress to smooth things out. I am curvy, it shapes beautifully but the dress shows and marks my underwear in my body (plus my bellybutton, even being loose on my waist, I don’t like that) so i wish the material was just a bit thicker. Glad it’s a bit stretchy.

I ordered a size 6 and a size 8 because I currently buy medium size t shirts but sometimes fit into size 6 dresses but need an 8 if there are sleeves on the dress.. I kept the 6 because it fit me wonderfully! I'm 5'3" and 135lbs 36b. I do not have a defined waistline, so I was concerned that the dress would be too tight around the middle. I am delighted that it is not too tight and hangs very nicely. I have athletic arms with muscular shoulders so this being a sleeveless style is the first nice thing, but the dress is also not too big in the arm holes. The details on this dress make it worth the price point. The zipper is attractive, the material is high quality and the lining is lightweight enough to make it feel cool but still have a tailored and polished appearance. The hem basting on the inside also has a cute detail that no one will see - the word "Lilly" is woven throughout. I am wearing this to my daughter's wedding, as I do not like traditional mother of the bride dresses, and this is going to be a hot, July wedding outside at a farmstead venue. I will feel dressy and oh so Lilly (I love the lace detail at the front). All seams and construction are quality finished. I am so so happy with this dress!
