Describe your favorite gown from the shoot and why you feel that way.
One black mermaid dress I wore along with a black boa. I left so beautiful and empowered. That dress really showed my curves beautifully.
Loved all of the mermaid style dresses and of course the glitz and glam of them all!
Tell us a funny story from the shoot.
I probably got a better workout running in and out of all the dresses than at the gym.
