Beautiful, but the draping photographed badly.
Wore to a formal wedding and received several compliments! I loved the material and the neckline. I rented the 6L and 8L. They fit very similarly, but the 6L was a bit too long, so I went with the 8L. The dress is forgiving, but the draping at the abdomen was more horizontally baggy than draped (if that makes sense?), making all of my pics in the light look really unflattering (see pic!). The lining helped the dress hang smoothly to the ground.

So classy and flattering!
I loved this dress!! I am 5'6", 130#, 34D/36C, and athletic build. I normally wear size 6 in dresses, but wore the 4 in this dress and had extra room around my tummy. The scuba-like material was super flattering and made a great silhouette. The zipper detail was perfect and subtlety sexy. Definitely recommend!
Exposed Zipper Vest Dress

Classy and comfortable!
So comfortable and flattering! I am 5'6", 135 lbs, 36C. It is a pull-on style, no zipper. The length was a few inches above the knee. The fabric is thick and stretchy, so easy to move around in. The waist is elastic. I kept having to adjust the shoulders and waist because, especially when dancing. That may not have been an issue with a smaller size? I have an athletic build (no waist), and the drape on the top made it look like I had more of a waist. Perfect for a fancy dinner out!

Stunning and comfortable
Beautiful, substantial fabric that made the fit of the dress very flattering. Order a size up for a back-up to give a little more room for the zipper. It is a difficult zipper to get up. The pockets are amazing! I am 5'6" and wore 3" heels. The length was perfect. I fit into the 4 and 6 well, but wore the 4 because it fit a bit better and the arm holes of the 6 gaped a bit. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was because the zipper was hard to work, and the back was a bit more open than I would have preferred (so no bra). But I felt amazing and it photographed beautifully! I

Could not get zipper past beaded belt
This dress is gorgeous, and the cut on the top and the shape of the skirt were so flattering. Unfortunately, I could not get the zipper past the beaded belt while it was on, nor could I zip it up on the hangar as I was packaging it up to send back. I saw other reviewers with this same issue and hoped it was a dress-specific issue. I chose to wear my back-up rental instead.

Stunning dress!
This dress was gorgeous! I am between a 4 & 6, and wore the 6L because it was slightly more comfortable around my lower ribs / waist. I have a straight build, and the shape and fit on the dress was so flattering. The material does not wrinkle and could be gathered to get in and out of the car, but them fall down into place. And it has pockets! I wore 4" heels with the 6L and it was a bit long. But it was easy to manage. I wore it to two formal galas that were on the same night.
Simonetta Gown

It was a stunning dress! I loved it!
It fits closer around the hips and bust, but is roomier in the waist. So for someone like me, who is about the same size around the rib cage, waist, and hips, it fit true to size. For girls with relatively smaller waists, you may want to size up. The feather-and-bead detail was soft and did not irritate my neck. The length was flattering.
Black Swan Dress

Usual Size: 6

I wore this to a mid-week, evening fundraising dinner.
I loved that this dress had a looser fit since it is a short dress, But the sheer overlay. was snagged in several places, making the dress look used. I struggled to keep the sheer overlay at the length of the liner. It kept wanting to inch up shorter than the liner. I did not take any pictures in the dress because it was not as flattering as I had hoped.
