I adored this dress even as a mid size girly (xl) this was such a cute dress

There are no two ways about this dress, either you’ve got it or you don’t. It unlocks the goddess in you. The only bad news is, it is only made for women with a hour glass figure. But the good news is, if that’s you then you’ve found a winner.

This dress was a hit at the NYE Ball. It’s slinky, it’s commanding and it’s a show in of itself. It’s probably too sexy for a wedding but it’s great for a formal event or party.

Material
The dress is a luxurious duchess satin so there is a hint of weight to it.

Fit
The lower half is true to size. The top is a wee bit small for larger cup sizes - I’m a D-cup and added double-sided tape to prevent nip-slips. If I had sized up for the top then the bottom half would have been too big on me so I went with the headlight show. Also, the shoulder straps are adjustable.

Length
I’m 5’4” and wearing 4” heels and it was perfect. 

Getting Into It
The straps are elastic which means you don’t have to be a contortionist to get in or out of the dress - I did it by myself and so can you. The easiest way to put on this dress is to first unhook all of the clasps that go around the ribs and the bust - just leave the set that go over your shoulders closed. Then step-in and pull the shoulder set overhead and into place. The rest are easy to fasten just like swimsuit straps. 


Wore it for my home coming court and it would have been perfect if I didn’t get dress coded😞. But over all the dress was amazing. The structure the fabric the straps. Everything was just right. Loved it so much I think about it all the time 

Get your double-sided tape ready for this one!Pros: well-constructed, thick material; sits gorgeously on the body
Cons: without double-sided tape my boobs would’ve popped out; the 3 straps on the sides didn’t stay put (at least not on me) so it took away from the intended look; very hard to put without assistance; super long for a short person ( I wore 4 1/2 inch heels and the dress still dragged on the floor)

Use lots of tape! I wish I had because it would not stay in place. The top was tiny and bottom was large, so it didn’t fit me well and didn’t look flattering. But would suit someone very lean and narrow—it’s a gorgeous and unique dress and the material is luxurious. 

So fun. Love this dress. Ordered the small but they couldn’t send it to me so I got the medium, had to get crafty with same fashion tape and safety pins but made it work and loved it! I wish I would’ve gotten the small tho bc I think that would’ve fit perfectly

Love the straps and cut out. The straps are easy to hook on your own which is nice.

HIGHLY recommend boob tape & bring extra to your event as back-up! Low back - I’m 5’7” and it hit perfectly above my butt feel like it may go hit too long if you have a short torso. 

pretty revealing but I loved it otherwise

The mini straps on the ribs were too tight. I think I need to go up a size. I usually wear a medium

Hugs the curves, but surprisingly forgiving. Super sexy and gives vixen vibes. Side straps did not stay in place which gave the illusion that there was just one. Chest area fit, but boob tape would make wearing much easier 

I loved the look of this dress. It was perfect in the top but too loose in the skirt area. I felt like if I sized down it would be too small on top. 

The material is very light weight and definitely snugs the curves in all the right places. The only downside is I had to keep fixing the straps on the sides as they were moving. Beautiful gown 

I tried to put it on but it was too confusing with all the different straps. I couldn't do it by myself so I wore my back up dress. Also, the dress is like a silky satin fabric, so there is no support,  especially on the top. I thought it was very cute though, but I don't think I would have been comfortable in it as I would be afraid of a nip slip.

This dress is super sexy and cute but the zipper sticks out and it looks like you have a tail. Lol
