Dress: Alfred Angelo style 6493 
What she thought: Claire’s friend Katie picked this Alfred Angelo floor-length strapless dress in black for her wedding. “When Katie first told me this was the dress she picked, I immediately panicked. I’m slightly larger in the chest and strapless dresses are not my friend. I hate strapless bras and feel like I’m always yanking up my dress or spilling over the top.” But Claire’s worries were soon put to rest. “I guess the great seamstresses at Alfred Angelo really made sure the dress fit perfectly, because I don’t think I yanked the dress up at all!” It was also affordable at around $120, a steal for a floor-length gown. “I really enjoyed wearing this.

Another cost-saving bonus: None of the bridesmaids required alterations as the dress fit very true to size. The only downfall was the material. “It’s really stiff and doesn’t move with you, so it kinda poofs out sometimes. But other than that it’s a great find!”
