Ordered this as a backup dress, and I ended up wearing it as a cocktail dress for drinks the night before the wedding. I may have been slightly overdressed, but I didn't care because I felt fabulous in it! It works great with curves, as it smooths things out and has a tiny bit of stretch so is a little more forgiving with sizing. I'm usually a size 6 and the 4 fit great! Everyone loved this dress!

Wore this to a formal wedding and felt very comfortable and confident! I got lots of compliments and felt like I could eat, dance, etc while still looking good. Even though it's strapless, with a strapless bra to help keep it in place, I didn't have to pull the dress up once throughout the night! If you're larger chested than I am, you might not even need a bra (the top is very structured). The size 4 did have some boning sticking out that left red marks, but I wasn't bothered by it while wearing it. Loved this dress!

I'm 5'3" and 135lbs, and I'm hourglass/pear shaped with a small waist. Even with my small waist, the waistband on this dress was super tight, while the top was loose at the shoulders. It was not flattering.

I couldn't have been happier with this dress!! I was really nervous about it, because I'm curvy, and though the photo doesn't show it, I have a big booty. However, this dress lays so nicely over curves, is stretchy and forgiving, and is lightweight and comfortable. Wore it to a summer wedding and got compliments the moment I put it on! I even had a woman I just met walk up to me in the dance floor and tell me my butt looked fantastic in the dress. Just FYI-- it will be accentuated in this dress, so if you don't want to highlight the booty, you may want to pick something else! Also, I couldn't wear any kind of bra or spanx (the lines showed). Didn't need a bra though, because the dress has a thin shelf bra in it to keep things situated. I'm 5'3" and 135 pounds with an hourglass/pear shape. I needed the 2R for length, because the 4R was way too long. Glad the 2R fit!! Hem needed to be taped in place due to loose thread, but it worked. Great customer service!
