I looked like a pink rectangle
Forgiving fit, which was surprising given the light material. However, it did nothing for me. Not enough structure to define my waist, and the sequins were scratch on top of that. Didn’t end up wearing it.

STUNNING… but
Striking color and show stopping design, but VERY snug through the rib cage. Bra unnecessary but high waisted control top hose definitely were!!

Stunning - but not necessarily forgiving
Beautiful, but column dresses can be rough to wear. I felt like this one was a little tight across my belly, but it was the better of the two options I had to choose from. Also needed heels to pull it off so it made for a long night.

Fit well
Didn’t end up wearing it bc the event got postponed, but it fit well. Tried it on with no bra and it flattened me a bit, I think a strapless would have provided some “lift”. I didn’t find it low cut at all. Perfect length to wear with flats (my plan) or heels. Loved the pockets!

Short
Fit was flattering - ruching was perfect for hiding tummy - but as others have said it was short. I’m 5’6” and I think I’d describe it as “tea length”

Beautiful - and amazingly comfortable!
Loved it so much I’ve rented it twice! Comfortable ball gown that can be worn with flats or heels. Even has pockets! Very low cut so if you’re modest, you may want to add a camisole. I chose to take the opportunity to show off some assets I don’t usually feature!!

Wasn't my first choice - and there's a reason for that
Got this as a last minute backup after I was informed my original (2nd) choice was unavailable. I was concerned the style (clingy column dress with no ruching) would be unforgiving, and I was right. Showed all my bumps and rolls. Didn't even want to take a picture. This would be great if I was in shape, but not for me right now.
