Great silhouette
The fit of this dress was absolutely perfect. It provided a surprising amount of support in the top half of the dress and kept me "intact". The stripes provide a very slimming effect at the waist and the shape of the dress is really flattering. It's thin, great to wear for a hot summery casual wedding! Not too dressy, not too casual. I loved it!

Flattering and dramatic
The dress runs quite tight on the top half which is very flattering if you have a small waist, also no need to wear a bra. The dress goes out at the waist which gives it a very dramatic shape. It looks quite posh, so I wouldn't be able to wear this casually at say thanksgiving as I was hoping to but it's a beautiful dress! If you have a formal holiday party coming up, it'd be a great choice. The color is beautiful.

Comfy and very flattering
The dress is very snug and form hugging, but still quite comfy with some give. It's very supportive so there's no need to wear a bra. The flare at the hips hides any imperfections below the waist and it really sucks you in at the top! I love this but it isn't particularly head-turning.

Unusual fit around the arms - not for petite ladies!
The dress is a beautiful color and a great fabric, but the fit was really unusual. I often have difficult with some clothes since I have a 27inch back but larger boobs so I don't usually comment on fit, but this dress was so off that I imagine well-proportioned people will still have issues. I'm usually a 4/6 and I got this in a 4 and it HUNG off my top half. The straps were way too long that there was serious gaping around my armpits from the excess fabric. To make the dress flattering, I considered pinning back the straps, but to do so sufficiently... I literally had fistfuls of fabric in both hands, I mean seriously who is this designed for? 6ft7 women with ridiculously long torsos?? Plus the skirt section cuts a bit too high, so it's above your hips, giving a bit of an unflattering form. Really hoped I could have worn this since the color was so great. It also was way too long on me, came down to my knees. I know 5"3 is small but come on... So I definitely would not recommend this for petite ladies!

Cute but difficult to wear
The dress is cute, I love the pattern and the long sleeves. But I found it difficult to wear. I ended up wearing a NuBra with it but because I have larger breasts and the romper is low cut, it looked a little bit scandalous. I didn't mind that for an evening, but it was inappropriately revealing for most of the events I've been attending. Also, it was very baggy on the waist, not particularly flattering.

Clearly expensive
The quality of the fabric is great and the dress is demure yet a little sexy because it's so tight. Unfortunately the size proportions were a little off because of my height (5"3) and I didn't like where the waist fell and how long it was on me. I didn't wear it.

So cute and comfy
I love this romper, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I often wear a 6 but I got this in a 4, but it was still a little roomy on the stomach and lower half. It was very comfortable and easy to wear, no need to tug or rearrange anything into the right places. It isn't sexy, but it's cute and really quite classy. I'll be wearing this for my bachelorette party on a beach.

Flattering as hell
This dress is so beautiful, from the cut to the design it is ridiculously flattering. The zip was stiff at first but I put some vaseline along the teeth of the zip and it worked fine. This dress is very low cut yet it still looks and feels classy. It pulls you in at the waist, I got a small and have a 26" waist and the waist area was maybe a bit big for a small but because of the cut it wasn't noticeable. The pattern is beautiful. I'm considering buying this one.

Fit too large but beautiful fabric
I've been working through a few dresses, trying them out and trying to pick one for the rehearsal dinner before my upcoming wedding. The rehearsal is at a yacht club so the style is definitely appropriate, it's got a real boat vibe. The fabric is beautiful and I really liked the style, especially the halter neck. The one issue is the top part of the dress is very loose. I'm a 32D so thought I was risking it to get a medium, but it was still way too big. The fastening at the back literally hung away from my body. I'm planning to re-order in a small and see if it fits better. I'd get a size smaller unless you have very wide hips, it's pretty tight on the lower half.
