I'm wearing this to a formal wedding and I think it's brilliant. It's totally stretchy and light, and the color makes my fair skin/brunette hair just pop. There is a nice amount of decoration but overall it's sweeping and understated and actually seems ladylike in person. Even with the great slit up the front. I've practiced and can sit down without showing the world my bits but it does require a little twist'n'shimmy, so be warned. I'm 5'4" an deven with 5" stilettos I'm still barely grazing the ground with this - so good for you tall ladies. If you're shorter probably you'll want to avoid.

The dress is very comfortable and fits perfectly and flows nicely. I received many favorable comments.

This gown is super luxurious and special and you can definitely speak to the quality immediately upon touching this garment. The silhouette is also very slimming due to the ruching and the nice beading on the left side. I tried on the size 40R (2R) and it was a good fit, but a bit snug through the hips. I am usually a true 4, so I think that would have fit a bit better. I'm also about 5'7" and definitely needed the long length, so for heights 5'6" and up, if you plan on wearing heels I would reserve the long length. This gown is great for a summery black tie event.

This a beautiful dress but it runs large. I am typically a size 0, so I ordered the 38R. It fit more like a 2. Would have been beautiful if it fit. The color is also much more vibrant in person.

SO comfortable, beautiful, and sexy!
