Super cute dress, didn't feel special on me
This dress is very cute and well made. When I tried it on though, there was nothing about it that felt incredibly amazing or drop-dead special. Nothing wrong with it though either, it fit well and looked good!

Classy, beautifully made dress
I wore this dress to my work holiday party and it worked perfectly! There is a layer beneath the lace that goes up to your chest, so only lace on the upper collarbone & arms is actually see-through. This layer covered my chest and it covered cleavage too, which was excellent. I was very comfortable in it at work party. I could dance, move around, and raise my arms very easily. I usually wear a 2 or 4, (2 = 38, 4 = 40 I believe based on the size conversion). Last minute, the 38 was unavailable, so I only had the 40 (plus backup dresses) but this 40 fit perfectly and I ended up wearing this one. Also, the fabric from which the dress is made is absolutely gorgeous. I could tell just from feeling the dress and trying it on that it was made fabulously.

Flattering dress, very limited in movement
I love the heavy, stretchy fabric of Herve Leger dresses! This dress did not disappoint. It was beautifully made and the material is very nice. The skirt was a little narrower than I expected based on the picture - that is, it didn't go out as much as I expected - but I don't think this was a bad thing. However, this dress is extremely limiting in movement. I could not lift my arms above my head - I could maybe lift them shoulder height, max - and if I forced it, the whole dress rode up way too much! It's a beautiful dress, but maybe only for events where you won't be dancing or lifting your arms. Another point of note is for larger busts, this dress "sucks in" your chest significantly, so your chest is not too prominent - almost like a sports bra would. This can be a good or bad thing depending on what you're going for.
