Beautiful, original dress, but did not fit.
I love the idea of this dress, and it is original and different, and the construction is well done. Was sad that it did not look good on someone like me (pear shaped, shorter torso, full hips). I'm 5'5'', 146 lbs. The top was too 'tall'/big and bunched up too much.

Lovely cut and elegant black color, light fabric, but did not fit.
As someone with a shorter torso than the models, the top part of the dress was too 'tall' on me, which meant that the front of the dress did not stick to my chest, and therefore even with fashion tape would have been gaping.

The quality and singularity of the fabric was lovely, but the fit a disaster.
This is for someone who is taller and more svelte than I (5'5'', 146 lbs). The length is too long. Because the waist is elastic, to fit my hips means that it is not as fitted in my waste, which makes the fabric bunch up around the elastic. Not a good look.

Does not look good if you have curves.
The size 8 fit snugly (normally would be great) on me (5'5'', 146 lbs), but because I have full hips, the buttons bunch up a bit. Also, I think the cut, with the pockets and the length would only look great on someone slimmer, with a narrow body, and taller.

Lovely gown if you have the shape it is designed for.
The color is exquisitely rich (it is not pink). I ordered the 8 because I have fuller hips and, indeed, it worked well for my lower body, but was too big for my torso. The straps are too long, but even after temporarily stitching them to shorten them, the torso was too loose to comfortably go without a bra (even if I am a b cup). Love the color and flows silk like fabric, but this only works if you have the right proportions for how it's cut.

Loved this, so bought them. They are clip on but not heavy and I did not feel any pain after wearing them for 8 hours.

Lovely black clutch with a bit of an edge.
This was basic and understated while at the same time having a bit of a 'rock and roll' edge due to the mesh that is on it. Really liked it.

Beautiful, romantic pattern/colors.
The style of the sleeves and the a line shape made it very forgiving with my shorter torso and fuller hips. It fit very well, and the fabric is a beautiful, with gorgeous colors that are rich and romantic (without being overly feminine or kitsch) in person. The heavy weight fabric made it structured and lovely. The strap that is semi attached to the sleeves kept sneaking up, so I sewed it in place temporarily for the event. It worked well. It is a heavier material which was not ideal for a tropical setting, but well worth it.
