Covers mom tummy
This dress is a nice heavy material, true to size. I’m 5’6”, 150-155lb (closer to 155 right now) and 34DD bust with my middle being fluffy. It covered and flattered in all the ways needed. I’m middle aged and not every dress fits as it should, like they did back when I was in my 20’s but this did the trick!

I ordered several red dresses for the American Heart Society Red Heart Ball, this was definitely much better quality than anything I ordered and so flattering!

I found the lace to be a little overwhelming and I’m not a small person! I went with a more simple dress.

Beautiful cut, flattering, but worn.
I could tell right off the bat that this particular (size 4) dress had been rented several times before me. The material felt worn and heavier than it should have and there was obvious wear on the back zip. I honestly felt that this dress was not worth it's actual retail price. Also, there was an obvious defect in my dress! The hem was sewn wrong (also pictured), making the lining of the dress peak out on the front. I looked back on other renter's photos and you can tell that they wore the exact same dress, the lining obviously showing in the front! That being said, the dress was very flattering. I don't have a very narrow waist, it's more like straight down for me, and this dress gave the impression that I had a narrow waist, and also letting me eat, and hiding the fact that I did!

WAY TOO BIG!
This was my first choice for a wedding. The dress/material itself looks expensive and the color is FANTASTIC! Unfortunately it was waaay too big! I have NEVER been a size 2 dress in my adult life, so why would I think I would be this time? The 4 was obviously big, and 6 (those are my two usual sizes) was HUGE. I kid-you-not the size 6 would've fit someone who is a size 10 or 12 beautifully. It was such a beautiful material and color that I might risk it and order the 2 next time. (and feel really special that I was wearing a size 2 dress). Anyone who is a size 2 or 0, I would say you are too small to even fit into these dresses. Please take alllll the rest of the reviews seriously and order the size DOWN from what you hope you'd fit! NO JOKE!
