I purchased these two dresses for a black-tie event. Although I adore them, I decided to go with a black gown. These both are new with tags and only tried on once. I also included a photo of the back in a different color. Since the corset is adjustable, various sizes can fit. I typically wear a 4-6 in dresses but the size guide recommended 8-10 and they still fit perfectly with the adjustable corset! The drop shoulders are removable (buttons) so you can also wear them strapless.
