Flattering style
I loved this dress overall! I wore it to a fairly casual wedding, for about 8 hours total. The only hang ups I had were that the inner snap around the rib cage was a little snug and there was only 1 of them. The snap that held the bust together at the base kept coming undone and you could see the edge of my bra, if I bent down or was carrying one of my kiddos. The front of the wrap dress could potentially give someone a show if you aren't careful. Dress was still worth it!

21 Weeks Pregnant
I wore this for my company's Christmas party at a ski town resort. As this is my first pregnancy, I wasn't sure what size I would be when I made the rental reservation. Luckily I asked around and I am still in a size 4, and this dress definitely has room for a belly. I will say it was a little worse for the wear if you looked for it. If you want a dress that hugs your belly to show it off, this isn't it. Ultimately, though, I was happy with the dress and received plenty of compliments.

5 Months Pregnant
This was a super cute dress and definitely left room for the belly. My husband and I had one complaint in terms of bumps, we wished it showed mine off a little better. Unless I held my hands like in the photo, you couldn't tell I was pregnant. Otherwise the dress was really good quality and fit perfectly.

Classy yet sexy for our first anniversary
I decided to go with the 6 right off the bat because I'm 8 weeks pregnant and feeling a bit bloated. There was enough room for my little belly and it wasn't too obvious. There isn't a lot of stretch to the fabric. I made sure to have my bathroom break before we went to dinner so I didn't have to bother with the zipper at the restaurant bathroom! My husband really liked this rental and wanted me to keep it :) Perfect alternative to the LBD

Perfect for a high school reunion
I loved this dress. I wore it to my husband's high school reunion - not casual and not formal. This dress was the right formality. It was also really flattering on my curves. I got so many compliments. Take the time to iron it, because the fabric wrinkles easily. I didn't wear a slip and it felt like enough coverage.

Perfect bridal party dress
This fit worked well for me, being that I have a sort of hourglass figure. I'm typically a 2-4 all depending on how tight the chest fits. The 2 was not even an option for this dress. However it ended up being very comfortable and I got so many compliments. The fabric is especially beautiful up close. It has a silver iridescence to it.

Awesome Bridal Shower Dress
I would have worn the 2, except the edges were fraying. However, the 0 had little to no difference in fit - probably due to the neoprene. Everyone loved the dress, and I am still receiving compliments. It was very comfortable, although the waist seam did itch a little.

Perfect LBD with a little glamour
I wore this dress to a Mrs. pageant in which I volunteered through my accounting firm to audit the judge's votes. I wanted to be a professional, as a representative of my firm, but also to be a bit fashionable as a pageant attendant. The 2 was a little too snug to wear for a professional event, so I went with the 4. I wore nude nylons, black heels, a black blazer, and a black waist belt to accentuate my waist. Do note that the sleeves are a tad itchy where the sequins touch your skin on the edges.

Cute
I wish I had a photo. I actually didn't end up wearing this, due to lack of time on a busy vacation schedule. But I did try it on, and I loved it. I could even go bra-less, which is rare for my bra size.

Super fun, sexy, and unique
The small and the x small were pretty similar, but I decided to go with x small for a more tight fit. I wore this to a mountain resort restaurant date with my fiancé. It's January and cold, so I wanted something to cover my arms. This is also why I decided to wear tights. Plus the dress is pretty dang short, so I felt more comfortable with tights. I didn't realize that it was made out of black and white sequins when I ordered it, but it's definitely fun and cool, and sexy because of the fit and the back detail!

The dress made the event more fun
It honestly did not fit as flattering as I had imagined. Maybe it was just my body that week. However, my date loved the dress and it was complimented.
