I am a 36 E, a over flowing full dd. 14 / 16 dress , size large in athletic every day casual clothes like halara and target. I wear a 16 jean from ae and old navy but could do a 18 for a more loose fight. I knew going into thus id need to order up and have alterations. With my specific hourglass shape I went for a dress I could at least zip up comfortably, which I did in the size 22. However im more narrow at the waist with a ful chest , so I did get it altered in on top and had added straps. This made the day More Comfortable and fit Better. We also took in around the butt area on bottom of behind. It was tailored for fitted and flattering behind. I wanted to show off my curves, I did so that day. I tried dresses from Avery Austin , azazie , and a few other online boutiques, even went to some in person boutiques. What stood apart to me was Afarose quality ,softness and comfortability of their dresses. I knew I wanted a very extravagant, beautiful flowing mermaid with long train dress. This had the most beautiful silhouette. We did a vow renewal ceremony on the beach in michigan. It felt so comfortable, so airy and I felt so beautiful.I highly recommend afarose.com.I will even tell my daughter to shop here when she has her day. Probably took in 7 in on top chest and 3 to 4 under bottom booty to tighten.
We are truly honored that you chose Afarose, Kristina, and we're so happy to hear you had such a wonderful experience with us! Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback about the fit and alterations. Every bride is unique, and we're delighted that you were able to customize the dress to perfectly complement your beautiful hourglass figure. It means so much to us that you loved the quality, softness, comfort, and design of your dress. We're especially honored that you chose to wear your Afarose gown for such a meaningful vow renewal ceremony. Knowing that you felt beautiful, comfortable, and confident throughout your special day is the greatest compliment we could receive. Thank you again for your kind recommendation and for trusting us to be a small part of such a memorable occasion. We wish you and your family a lifetime of love, happiness, and wonderful memories together. ❤️
