Sparkle and Shine...With Modesty
Great piece - definitely runs a little large. I sized down and still had plenty of room to move around in. It was super comfortable and had a fabulous soft silk lining. As other reviewers have mentioned, it was definitely on the shiny side. The sparkled collar at the chest added to the blingy-ness of the dress and made it more formal than just an everyday work dress. Definitely a conservative and timeless piece, too - I'm 32 and felt like this could be worn well into my later years (50's 60's even 70's) and still be appropriate. I'm 5'9" and it hit my kneecaps, so great for tall ladies.

Such a great unique dress!
This dress is fantastic. Beautiful fabric, but be warned - it has more shimmer than the photos show. The jeweled section on the front is really interesting and different. Stretchy knit that is very forgiving. Fit is quite large. I usually wear a size 2 and I ended up wearing my backup size 0. (Weird because another Missoni I rented at the same time fit really small.) I'm fairly short so the length was just past my knees, unlike on the model. I wore it to a daytime religious event and it definitely wasn't tight. So for a tight/sexy fit you might want to try two sizes down. Got lots of compliments on this unique dress.

Beautiful and comfortable
Dress was great, I received A LOT of compliments. However, I only gave 4 stars as I am petite and dress was long.

The dress was beautiful. The fabric was more shiny than expected.
It was too large everywhere. It was made for a much taller woman. On the model the dress falls above the knee. One me it fell WAY below the knee. I can see how it would be really sexy on the right woman but on me it just looked large and unflattering.

It's a dress I could never afford, love the colors and beadwork on the collar
Loose at the waist, generally not very figure forming or sexy

Nice dress; more muted in color than expected
This dress fit nicely and felt good. I didn't wear it because the grayness didn't do anything for my skin (classic "winter", light with blue/pink undertones) and therefore I didn't feel special in it! As I see it, the photos make the colors look more vivid. For someone wanting a more subtle, muted palette it would be perfect. RTW replaced it the next morning.

Beautiful dress!
The size 40 was too big on me, the scoop neck went too low and it was too long. It's stretchy too so I think it's best to go a size smaller if you think you're between sizes. Conservative length.

This dress has beautiful details and shimmer. It ran large. This was my back-up dress and was too shiny for my work event.

To big and a bit bagged out in the stomach and leg section - like someone too large wore it.
Seems like someone stretched this out past what it shape is supposed to be
