    Looks fabulous on you girl! I'd love to wear something like that again. You should totally do it and think of how much that you've worked to get to the point to look that wonderful.

    I think this is the one--great color on you and for a winter formal. I don't see any clinging, but you have time to try various undergarments that will help in that area.

    I'd say go up with the hair and simpler jewelry because the back of the dress is already like jewelry.
    Gorgeous!

    You wear it well!!! Absolutely gorgeous!! I don't see the cling either, however if it is something that bothers you, try the spanx. I saw your question about the low back and whether they would show....I'm not sure, but you've got some time to try them on and see. :)

    Spanx will sort the tum issue out - not that I can see it! You look lovely x

    The dress looks fantastic on you! The color is stunning. Agree with the others - you have time to find the right undergarments if you feel you need to. People of ALL shapes and sizes wear them sometimes, just to smooth everything out!

    You all are so nice! thanks so much! I think I may do an up-do because my hair is so long it comers most of the jeweled back strap. I may just go with some earrings or a bracelet :)

    I think you look awesome in that dress.
    Please leave your hair down. I speak for 99% of men when I say we like long hair.

    Maybe a down but pulled to one side style?

    You look amazing!! Congratulations on your weight loss!!

    As the others have said, the dress looks great on you. The tummy issues, spanx or any other kind of slimming under garment can help with that.

    I'm gonna try to look for some that are short so It doesn't show. I'm sure they make some just for the lower tummy. Thanks!!

    I don't like the cut of the dress to be honest even though the color is cute on you. I would get a new one that is also long because you are going to a Winter Prom.

    I love the color. The stomach isn't really a problem, just get one of those air balls and start doing situps...you'll be set by the time of the dance (or do the spandex stuff). The only thing I'd be worried about is that little train in the back. I went to a dance once and the hem wasn't high enough off the floor and ended up stepping on the edge and ripping the dress.

    Also, did you try moving in it? Basically, act like you'd be dancing on the dance floor and see how comfy it feels. If you feel like you're not comfortable moving in it...I'd reconsider and find something you can move in. It is very pretty on you...just thinking you need to consider the movement issue especially if you're used to dress that doesn't get in your way while dancing.

    Like an exercise ball? Thanks!
    I was a little worried about the train too... I guess I'll see what happens :p
    It feels pretty good when I move around (like dancing) in it. :)
