I need a gown like that. Just got a weeks notice that I will be attending a formal event, which does not leave me time to get alterations or ordering online. But that is a style I need. Not going to be fun. I wear a size 12 pant and 16 shirt to cover my endowments. Which is why I hardly ever wear a dress. If I buy one that covers my top 1/2 the bottom looks like it is 4 sizes to big. If I find one that fits my bottom 1/2 the top falls out. Sleeves for me is a joke. My favorite saying is, why do designers think that because you are well endowed your knuckles drag on the ground.

This young lady looks entirely appropriate for the event. Right now I envy her and her Mom's skill at sewing.
