Elegant and easy!
This was a great dress for a formal wedding. The pattern is beautiful and the silhouette was easy. I was 6 weeks post partum and needed something that could accommodate a larger chest, and the size 8 worked well for a 36D chest.

Intended to wear this for a rehearsal dinner. Didn't work out - good to have it as a backup though
I never ended up wearing this dress as it just didn't look right on me. As an hourglass shape, I thought it would be perfect with the pink band to accentuate the waist. However, it just looked a little awkward on me. Maybe if I had smaller hips it would've worked out.

Wore this for my best friend's bridal luncheon, and it was just perfect!
I chose between a 4 and a 6 for this dress. I ended up using the 6 because, whereas my wait fit best in the 4, by chest was a little smushed. So I went with the 6, and you could barely tell that the waist line was a bit too large. If you're short like me, be aware that this dress will not hit above your knees like it does the model. I have fair skin and red hair, and the color paired with it really well - got a lot of compliments on it!

Sexy and SHORT!
I'm 5'2" and this dress was even short on ME! Thankfully it was a sort of event where I wasn't the only girl in a mini dress... but i felt a bit self conscious at times. Other than that, it's a beautiful dress and great, silky material. You'll need to jazz it up with some accesories, as the front is a little plain in pictures.

Absolutely perfect for a summer party!
I should've bought this dress when i had the chance. The color is a cotton candy pink, and was perfect for a daytime party in the spring in Virginia. It was flattering on my waist and accommodating for my bust, and really moved well. Good for an event where you'll be eating, drinking and dancing as its really fuss free and you don't feel like you're needing to suck in.

Great for nearly any shape and any party
It was perfect for a winter cocktail party with some tights. The adjustable straps were great and accommodating for a larger bust. It would be flattering on nearly any figure - and even on short girls like me1
