The brand is Tease Prom by Sydney's Closet. It's a gorgeous gown, and both times I wore it, I was told by several people I had the best dress in the room. Men and women alike loved it. As an apple shaped woman I normally dislike fitted clothing but the stylists at the formal wear store convinced me to try it on and I immediately said yes. I felt beautiful in it. Now that I've worn it to 2 events I'm ready to pass her on and find a new one. No alterations have been made. I'm 5’7 and wore 3” heels. As a frame of refernce I weighed about 305 first time I wore it and wore 24/26 from Lane Bryant and 280 wearing 22/24 Lane Bryant the second time I wore it.
