I received many compliments on this dress. It is a very flattering dress.
I have no complaints about the dress, but it was difficult to zip in the area of the waist. It is great looking and stood out in the crowd.

Beautiful black tie gala
Great dress. Fits comfortably and looks really good. Slit up the front is perfect. I would highly recommend this one. Length was perfect.

I rented this dress for our son's wedding.
The dress fits true to size and looks beautiful on. I did not end up wearing it because it was a bit short for me and for the occasion. It would be perfect for a younger woman. I loved the dress and would recommend it. Beautiful.

Beautiful New Year's Eve Gala
This dress fit well and the back was adorable. I could have easily worn it and enjoyed wearing it, but I ordered multiple dresses and wore a different one instead. I would recommend it though.

New Year's Eve Gala
This dress fit perfectly and was totally comfortable all evening. You can wear normal underwear...bra should have a racer back. The length was perfect with 3" heels. I am 5"7" and an off the rack size 8. I would highly recommend this dress.

This was a backup for a black tie wedding.
Although I did not wear this dress to the function as it was a backup for the one I really wanted to wear, this dress is gorgeous! It fit perfectly and it looked stunning. I would highly recommend this to anyone going to a black tie affair of any kind. The dress is very sophisticated and understatedly beautiful.

This was a black tie wedding and it was a magical event. It was great to wear the perfect dress!
This is a beautiful dress. I received many compliments on it all evening. The dress runs a little high waisted, but the bodice fit perfectly once the dress was zipped. Perhaps the next size would have made the waist lower....but I don't know how that would have affected the rest of the fit. I would order your regular size and a size up as a backup. Zipping was a bit difficult at the waist band as it is a bit thick there and you would definitely need someone to zip you up in it. The dress is see through from the waist down, but wearing a short white slip under and it made it perfect. Loved the dress and I really enjoyed wearing it and it was a blast to dance in.

I wore the dress to a very dressy charity event. The look was perfect.
This dress fits like a glove. The material is heavy enough to compliment your figure, yet does not make you hot. The side ruffle is a lovely design feature. Especially flattering is the neckline....off the shoulder and the slit on top looks great and makes your neck look long and arms look thin. I received many compliments all evening and would wear it again. It also makes you stand straight with your shoulders back...never a bad thing!

I wore this dress to a very formal NYE affair.
The dress fit perfectly. It is very flattering and totally easy to wear. The length was great...I am 5'6"...and I was able to wear high heels. The armholes are cut so that your arms look great and any side arm fat is fully covered. I love this dress and received many compliments.
