Got this dress for Vegas, and it didn't disappoint!
This dress harbors no secrets. It's super snug with very little give, but honestly, that's kind of what you want in a dress like this. The chest didn't gap at all (always a concern with small-busted gals like me), and despite the fit, it didn't ride up at all. The white is super fun, too -- definitely a head-turner in a room full of LBDs. I loved this dress, and I'd rent it all over again for the same occasion.

Hot! Hot! Hot!
Don't let the simplicity dress fool you - it's a firecracker! The neckline is pluuunging, and even though I have a pretty small bust, it was still a little scandalous for work. That said, it's a super flattering dress, cut to show off curves in an understated I'm-not-trying-too-hard kind of way. I got tons of complements; a random woman at the grocery store even stopped me to tell me how cute it was.

Cute - but small
This dress was adorable, but unfortunately, didn't fit my shape well. The top part of the dress fit great, but the bottom half hugged my hips enough to make the pockets bulge. I'm admittedly a little bottom-heavy, so I'd only caution against this issue if you're pear shaped.

Cute - but BIG!
I wish I'd listened to their reviewers when they said this ran large. The cut is flowy to begin with, but it also runs a size (or two, honestly) big, which takes it from "flowy" to sack-like pretty quickly. I originally got the 12, but the armholes came down to the middle of my torso and the dress dragged the ground (and I'm 5'9). I swapped it for a 10, which fit way better.

Beautiful Details
This was a perfect fit for me, both in size and style. The embroidery is STUNNING, the fit is super-flattering, and the cut makes it stay in place all night with none of that awkward tugging. The print made it stand out, but the subdued colors kept it classy. A definite win.

Gorgeous, but too small.
This dress is a showstopper. The color is super rich, and the lace/sheer panels/cutout back make the relatively modest cut super sexy. Unfortunately, I could look at it straight out of the bag and guess it was going to be too snug, and (sigh) I was right. It was part of my unlimited bag, so I didn't have a backup size, but if I had, I would have chosen this out of the batch of three I ordered, for sure.
