Beautiful dress but weird front slit

It was beautiful and the fabric is god quality. But the front slit was weird - both in placement and in length. Also - the way the fabric is sewn, the slit almost made it look like the skirt was palazzo pants. But for a strapless, it was very secure and fit great

Beautiful but runs big

The dress is beautifully embroidered with boning but had more stretch than expected. I’m almost always a size 14, sometimes a 16 if there’s no stretch or if it runs tight. But the 14 was def not secure. Decided to go with my backup but will def consider this dress for my next event

Didn’t like the straps

The dress was too tight but even if it had fit, I wouldn’t have worn it. The straps were quite wide and looked really bulky with the sweetheart neckline. The rest of the dress was pretty but I really hated the straps

Not structured enough

It's a beautiful dress but as someone who has a thicker waist and tummy issues, it showed more than I wanted it to. It was also VERY tight around the ribcage. Maybe if I had shaping underwear or a corset.... lol.. or just lose the 10lbs.

BEAUTIFUL and COMFY!

The boning in this dress makes the bodice stand up perfectly!! The ruffle hides any worries about tummy (which meant I could eat!!) and the fabric had a beautiful sheen. The color is a beautiful gray- blue that looks a bit purple in certain light. I wore it to a military function (obviously) and received so many compliments!! I will rent this one again if I have another event!!

Beautiful but no structure

Absolutely LOVED the color and style of this dress. The woven pattern of the fabric across the bodice is exactly how I imagined. The problem is that the bodice has no structure which is is bad when you have a thick waste.. I looked pregnant! Even with spanks. Also, the over skirt is at least an inch longer than the dress. I had 4.5 heels which cleared the dress EXCEPT for the lacey overskirt. I walked around and I tripped constantly, either stepping on the front or getting my heel caught in the back. If I lose the weight I want to, I would think about getting higher heels and try again. And the 12 was a bit big. The lace does stretch, unlike what the description says. I wish I had gotten the 10 instead of a 14 as the backup size.

The dress is darker than the pictures. Definitely more taupe or a soft tan than white. But it was still adorable. My daughter loved it! She's 5'3" 130lbs and 32D.

Unflattering

Not sure why but it just didn't look right on. I guess I just have the wrong body type. I thought the extra of fabric would be good since I have a thick waist but it was not flattering on at all.

Creates some super curves

Great dress overall. Good quality, but it's very tight in the upper torso, and requires a longer torso to make it look good. I had to wear spanx underneath to keep the slim look. It also rides up when you sit down and wrinkles easily. But, I got some amazing compliments and the camera seemed to love it.

Tough to zip up but looks great on

i really liked this dress but it didn't seem formal enough to me. Warning, it was super tough to zip up. It was a bit tight and I probably would have had issues breathing comfortably throughout the night, but it is very pretty on. Oh - and I hated the slit... it's such an awkward length (halfway up your calf) and in such a weird location (on the side seam). i think it ruins the lines of the dress. it would have been Grecian/Roman perfection without the slit...

POCKETS

Got this dress for my daughter. She's 5' 2", 32D, 115lbs. She absolutely loved the dress. Only reason we didn't give it 5 stars is was the straps were long. We were able to pin them so it all worked out in the end. Fabric was very nice brocade, nicely lined and you can wear a normal bra which is a bonus. But have to say, the favorite part was the POCKETS!!!

Beautiful dress

This dress is beautiful... But the top is small. I usually wear a size 12 but this barely fit me. Fortunately for me, I have a small chest. Overall though, it was pretty comfortable once I got it on. The top has boning and very well lined so I didn't need a bra. Dress is very light and airy. Lots of compliments.

I got this dress for my daughter which is why the measurements above may not match. She is 5' 2", 115lbs, a size 4 in normal clothes but usually a size 6 in dresses. She wore these with 4" heels which were perfect since the dress is long. She absolutely loved the dress.. said it was super comfortable!! and of course, she looked great!

Beautiful dress... for another girl

PLEASE IGNORE MY MEASUREMENTS. I rented this for my daughter who is 5' 2", 115lbs, and a 34B. It was a beautiful dress, great fabric, especially if you're going for that etherial, flowy feel. However, the bodice is very tight and not forgiving. My daughter's upper body was smushed and did not look good. She's usually a size 4 but I got the size 2 based on some other reviews. Don't do it unless you're very small-boned and small chested. A size 4 would not have fit my daughter. I think if you're very thin, with a smaller bust, this would be a flattering dress.

I am thick around the waist and this dress, while beautiful, made me look pregnant and showed all my fat rolls. The fabric isn't super thin, it's just satin is too unforgiving...

Don't listen to all the skinny girls!!

This dress runs true to size, go a size small ONLY if you're between sizes. I read a bunch of the reviews and got a size 0 for my daughter. She's 5' 2", 115lbs, 34B... it was WAY too tight. I wish I had gone with my gut and got her a 2 instead of reading all the reviews of other women who's measurements were almost identical to my teenagers. SO disappointed because the dress is BEAUTIFUL and she really wanted to wear it. And no, we didn't get her a backup size because her dress was my "alternate".

Almost perfect....

I usually wear a size 12 but this dress was still a bit tight. I would have work it anyways but the straps killed it for me. For some reason, it didn't go to the outside of my shoulders like it did in the picture. Instead, it was almost like a tank top with an inward curve that made me look like I had MAJOR underarm fat! Maybe because it was too small. They didn't have a 14 anymore so I couldn't get it as a backup... However, the fabric is very nice and the skirt with the pockets was adorable... just wish i could have worked :(

Fun and comfy!!

This dress was AMAZING!! I got this for my 13 year old daughter to wear to a fashion show. It had a great sequin detailed on the bodice that was softened up with the gauzy fabric. She wore it with black leggings and lace up patten leather booties which went well with the black belt. She said it was very comfortable. She felt pretty and I liked that she was covered. WIN-WIN!! My daughter's measurements are above

Beautiful Dress that hid my belly but made me feel beautiful!!

Wore this to a Fashion Show in DC and got SO many compliments. I'm a bit shy about my belly and this totally camouflaged it while making me feel amazing! It's not as short as it looks on the model but then again, I"m 5 foot 4 inches.
