This dress is wonderful! It is flirty and fun. It is a burnt orange color with a animal print. It is a true mini and runs on the shorter side. Due to the extremely detailed back I would wear a nubra! There were no issues with fit. I would advise to take your time in tying up the back as it is a little complicated, but it only adds to the beauty of the dress! I tied mine differently for a fun look!

Super Flirty Dress!

Size worn: XS

Overall fit: True to Size

This dress was really fun and flirty! It was super light weight, so it is a great summer dress! This dress ties in the back and is adjustable which makes this dress a pretty easy fit. It is pretty short, it was a true mini on me; you also need to wear a NuBra with it because the back is completely open.

Was not my favorite

Size worn: S

Overall fit: True to Size

The fit is loose so I would order what you normally wear. I did not end up wearing this because the overall look was not that cute. The chest fit awkwardly and the tie-up back just looked like an extra long shoelace. Just not my style.

I didn't get to wear it, as I envisioned a more loose flowy fit than it actually was.

I loved the snake print & vibrant color. A really great fit, comfortable, & sexy at the same time.

PROS: It fits tight in the bust (which I liked) and it hit me mid thigh (I'm 5'4"). This is what I was looking for when I saw the dress online. CONS: The straps are very hard to figure out and I did not wear a bra with this dress. I had to have a girl friend come over to tie the straps for me and tight! because if the strap came undone, it was going to be a whole new kind of party, topless! lol Overall, satisfied with the dress.

Super Comfortable

I got this dress for a bachlorette party in early August. We were down the shore and this was an excellent dress for a night out in the middle of the summer. I found the back to be quite complicated. It's definately not something you can put on by yourself. It was nice that you had options on how to tie it but in order for the top to stay up (and keep the girls in check) I found you really had to do some sort of criss-cross/halter style. Also, it needs to be tied pretty tight which unfortunately can create some back fat. It was a very delicate balance. The rest of the dress was flowy and fit well. It was pretty short on me but that was okay since I wore it for a bachlorette party. Some of the reviews advised on ordering a smaller size for your back up. So I order the small as my back up which was in no way going to fit me. The medium was a close call. I generally wear medium when I order dresses sized this way so I was surprised that the medium was just barely right.

I wore this dress to a music festival and it was cool and comfortable in the heat. I was not able to wear a bra due to the design of the dress which is not advisable but I admit jealousy to the ladies who are able to to pull that off. The fit of the dress was sexy but my only complaint is that the drawstring that holds everything together at the next was super long and kept getting wrapped up in my legs as I danced. Perhaps I didn't tie it correctly.
