This is really something special. The layers of fabric don't show too well in this photo, but they create a dozens of little pockets that fan out as you move. I wore this to a wedding, and received tons of compliments. I did a search online and found the actual runway photos of this dress; the straps are actually supposed to be worn off the shoulder, which is why they are so long. Agree that the bodice was a bit large, solved it with a push-up bra. The front slit goes pretty high... Nothing shows, but I wouldn't recommend this for modest girls.

This dress is very pretty. I think it may fit a flat chested hippy girl best. I am a 34D and my boobs pretty much popped out of the dress, as some others said, it doesnt really leave enough room for breasts as it presses them down. Seems like the bottom fit like a little big but the top fit smaller, so it's a toss up in choosing between sizes. The bottom fit great however the split is quite revealing...like very mainly when sitting down. Each swoop on the bottom of the dress is actually a pocket which could be convenient for small items! I just knew I'd wear it with the straps hanging as it's intended but it really looks better with them on the shoulders. The fabric is great and sturdy. I can't really say anything bad about it other than he fit/cut.

Wore this for a New Years 2012 (last year)! But was really impressed by the layering of the gold and black sequin folds. The picture does not due justice to the craftsmanship of this dress. I agree that the sleeves could be considered a little awkward, but I just let them drop over my shoulder. Received TONS of compliments.

Looked edgy and amazing on hangar. Looked only ok on. Dress ran really big. I usually wear an 8 but the 6 was big and stretched out even more by the end of the night. Overall a B+ for a night wedding or cocktail party.

Gorgeous dress. Really unique. Unfortunately, the size 8 was a little too big for me. Fit all right through the hips, put the top and the straps were too big (the torso seemed too long for me). Straps were slipping off my shoulders. One of my girlfriends tried this dress tried too, she's also a size 8, but taller, about 5' 5", similar issues for her. Might work a little better for someone w/ a little larger bust and longer torso. Consider getting a back up one size down.

This dress is a slit all the way up. The slit comes to high to be decent for anything other than standing still. That being said, the dress is beautiful and the construction of it is solid.

This dress was terrible. When they say the slit in the front is high, it actually was above my crotch! All the layering was also not very flattering...especially in the back, it fans out. I would not recommend renting this one.
