The silk fabric feels super nice on my skin, although it wrinkles somewhat easily and I think it's very slightly sheer so don't wear anything neon or crazy patterned underneath. The dress itself doesn't have belt loops on it so you're free to tie the belt anywhere on your waist. Don't worry, the belt stay put the whole night, even while I was dancing. The neckline of the dress is best with a really short almost choker necklace if you want to wear one. Or maybe just wear earrings. The sleeves won't work well with bracelets. This is more of an elegant artsy dress than a sexy one, and the length makes it appropriate for family/formal occasions.

The silk was lovely for a spring evening wedding. The print is awesome and completely original.

I was surprised the dress ended up fitting so well since I am very petite. The length hit mid-knee, just a few inches longer than ideal but with heels it looked fine. I wore this to my company holiday party and thought it was appropriate and the long sleeves kept it cozy. The sash that ties at the waist is very flattering. Received lots of compliments.

This was my original dress but I wore my backup because the 0 was a little small in me. It's still beautiful. But tight fit, no stretch, and snug at the neck. Gorgeous print. Would rent for a formal occasion again.

I LOVED, LURVED, LOAFED this dress. I want to wear it every damn day. I'm not one to wear things that button right up to my neck, but I looked past all that just to make this work. The fabric and pattern/design/art were so beautiful, I felt like a walking canvas. It's one of those dresses that can be casual, but also dressed up with some fancier heels and earrings. This dress is extremely open to a variety of personal touches and accessories. The best part is, you can move and shake as much as you want in this. I'm a 4, and while my UK equivalent would have been a 6, it's listed as an 8 on here, so that's what I went with. I didn't get a good picture of me in it, but previous reviewers had great pics, so I defer to them. The dress did have belt loops, and things stayed in place. Definitely prone to wrinkling in its silkiness, but it wasn't a big deal (less noticeable with the colors and patterns). It's true that this is more of a creative look rather than a sexy head-turner, but it's stunning in its own unique way.
