Gorgeous dress with great detailing. It is an attention-getter, and I got so many compliments on it! Wore it with nude pumps, and it really is an outfit that doesn't need much else added it to it! It was surprisingly comfortable, and I did end up wearing a standard bra and pulling it down/pulling the straps over enough to not be seen with the v-back.

Wore this dress to my friend's bachelorette party and loved it! Got a lot of compliments on it. It is extremely curve-hugging, so be prepared with some good Spanx if you're curvy! I was a little hesitant about it because it is SO tight, but my husband's review convinced me! Good night-out dress!

Because this was a backup option, the (very helpful) customer service agent sent me a 16 L instead of R without me realizing it (probably the only available 16 at the time), so it wasn't a perfect fit- but worked well anyways even on my 5'2" self. I just ended up with a little train, and the torso wasn't as good a fit as it could've been. But it is SO COMFY. And fun to dance in! Great fabric, great cut! Can be formal, but the floral print made it work for the less-formal summer wedding I went to!

The beading on this dress is gorgeous. I wore it to a wedding, and received a number of compliments. Comfortable, can be worn with a normal bra, etc. It's not as scratchy as I have found many sequin/embellished garments to be. The downfall really was the cut. It ran large on me (I definitely should've sized down), and the waistline was WAY below my actual waist. I had to tie string and fold the torso portion over it, which was a actually nice effect, but annoying to constantly adjust. That also helped the length, which was long on my 5'2" frame. Overall, I did really like the dress! Just probably should've sized down!
