Too Small in the Ribcage
I was really excited to wear this dress but unfortunately it was just too small in the ribcage area for the zipper to zip up fully. The zipper on the dress also seemed partially covered by fabric on the bottom end so I couldn’t step into it to put it on. I would recommend sizing up if you are on the edge of sizing. On the plus side, the dress was not too long on my 5’4.5” body. I could’ve worn flats without worrying about dragging.

Very Heavy
Unfortunately did not end up wearing these to a wedding because they were too heavy for my ears. Very cute, but don’t underestimate their weight like I did

Elegant and Comfortable
I received so many compliments on this dress and I was comfortable wearing it all night long. I am pear shaped so it did fit snugger on the hips compared to my smaller top half but it still fit great. I had no fear of fabric slipping around up top. I also wore 4” heels with no issue of tripping or dragging. Switching to kitten heels later in the night, I also had no tripping issues but I do think the fabric puddled nicer behind me.

Gorgeous Dress and Comfy
I received so many compliments on this dress! The color is gorgeous, the cut is flirty but formal enough for a cocktail dress code wedding, the fit is just like a glove, and I wasn’t ever restricted or uncomfortable all night. The only downside was that it showed off a few curves than I was comfortable with (like my bloating from eating and drinking through the evening) but I would buy this dress and where it everywhere if I could. I originally only chose it to show off my shoes but was pleasantly surprised with how great the fit and style was all around!

Bachelorette Party Dress
This was such a cute dress that fit like a glove and wasn’t too tight. The fabric is a stretchy crepe material with great lining to hide what’s underneath. The faux pearls along the bust and straps along with the length of the skirt made it so classy. I had a lot of fun wearing this to my bachelorette party even if it wasn’t the most practical for dancing (including the spanx I wore underneath). I would recommend this dress to any bride though (engagement, shower, rehearsal, etc).

Gorgeous but Too Big
I received lots of compliments on this dress but it was too big. Unfortunately I rented it so last minute there wasn’t a smaller size available so I had to make the long straps work with safety pins and double stick tape. The bust was too big also but fit better once I fastened everything down. The length was great with small heels and very fun to dance in.

Cute Country Look
I wore this to a country/western wedding and got lots of compliments. It fit like a glove and moved with my body through all the dancing and food. The tiered skirt gave lots of movement (and wasn’t too long with my short heels) and the open back gave it a more modern look. I’d wear this again!

Classic LBD
I had lots of compliments on this dress. This may not be the best fit for those with a pear-shape body. It was more snug on my bottom making it less comfortable but sizing up made the top of the dress too big. If the bottom were bigger and the draping of the skirt started higher on the waist, this would've been perfect.

My favorite dress!
I absolutely loved this dress and would buy it. The fabric was smooth and structured along with the gorgeous sleeves. I didn't need to size up as it fit me like a glove. I would recommend this dress a thousand times. It was perfect for the reception I attended.

Great for black tie wedding
The fabric was so soft and the fit was great. The only downside was the non-adjustable straps and I should've ordered a long to have enough material for the train in given the height of my heels. I would wear this again!
