Pretty, but not my favorite
I loved the stretch, the fact that the skirt is lined, and that the fabric felt breathable; however, this particular skirt had a column of sequins missing RIGHT in the middle in the front of the skirt, and the elastic waistband was not super flattering on me. Also, sadly, this delivery arrived super late, so I didn't even get to wear it for my at-home quarantine b-day celebration. Hoping this skirt works out better for someone else!

SO FREAKING CUTE!! (No matter your age)
This dress fit perfectly and was such a fun choice for my 30th bday celebrations! I wore it two nights in a row and it wasn't too wrinkled after the first night (pro for those of us who like to avoid ironing). Though the pattern and cut struck me as possibly a little too cutesy (I have nothing at all like this in my closet), the dress is very sexy and fun. I wore both sleeves down and it worked well. My only complaint was that the elastic on the sleeves was a little too tight/uncomfortable. Otherwise, I'd definitely rent again!

Rainy-day flower!
As others have noted, the fabric between the first two buttons becomes a peek-a-boo situation, so just use a safety pin and you're good. I adore this skirt and want to keep it forever (though it is not a good skirt to eat heavy meals in, more to walk and twirl in). The medium sat perfectly on my waist while the large fell closer to my hips. ALSO, there are belt loops. What a find, this one.

Beautiful pattern, light fabric!
I LOVED the pattern and the neckline on this dress! I was skeptical about the loose fit as it's normally not my style, but after trying it with and without a belt, I ended up liking the unbelted version more. The slit is only on one side, which I thought was odd, but it makes zero difference when you're floating around the room and everyone is saying how pretty you look :) Do take the time to iron this baby as the wrinkles detract from the pattern #wellpressedwelldressed

Mostly pretty
I didn't end up wearing this dress, but my cousin did (same dimensions as me), and she loved it. I thought that the built-in bra pads were awkwardly placed, and I didn't like the placement of the V in the neckline. The fabric of the dress is light, comfortable, and easy to move in, and obviously one can look fabulous in it in the end!

Felt so comfortable all night!
This dress (a replacement for my original) fit me perfectly, except that the fabric along my lats was baggy (you can see this in the photo, hence 4 instead of 5 stars). It was super comfy, easy to eat in, and I wore flats (despite the model looking fly in heels) and still felt fancy. Flats work perfectly with this dress - don't be afraid of them or of being so comfortable that you open and close the dance floor.

Great purple color!
This dress is bright and fun! The midsection cut-out is barely noticeable, and the length is conservative, so it's not a hugely sexy dress, but it fit me well and was cool enough for a summertime partially outdoor wedding (with hair up and minimal wiggling). Also, I didn't have to wear a bra (plus bras can be seen through the lace, though not obviously) and the fabric didn't interfere with my movement or get stuffed into my armpits. Overall, good stuff!

Light and flowy! Potential for nip slips
I loved the pattern and colors on this dress! It's actually navy blue with roses, not black. Per other reviews, I ordered a small and x-small even though I typically wear medium to large, and I ended up wearing the x-small. I didn't think it was too short, but that plunging neckline is really something. Couldn't wear a regular bra. I wore this without an undershirt for a sexy date night (see close-up pic of neckline) and again with an undershirt and scarf for a school get-together. Both were great looks!

Beautiful color and neckline!
I loved this bright dress! It just made me happy (even though it was not the dress I ordered initially). It fit loosely, the length was perfect (I could've gone with heels or flats), the neckline was not too plunging/revealing, and it was very comfy to dance in. However, I'd recommend not jumping around too much because this dress will bounce right up and flash the crowd (see pic of near disaster). That's not even worth reducing the number of stars for this dress, though. Love!

Classy and sexy!
I got lots of compliments on this dress. It was a last-minute replacement for the dress I was supposed to wear, so the size that was available for me (8L) didn't quite fit. It was 2-3in. too long (I'm 5'7'' and was wearing 4in heels!). See the pic for an example of how I tried to use fashion tape to take up the hem but ended up just dragging the dress on the ground anyway. Though I normally wear a 6, the 8 fit snugly, so definitely size up on this one. Lots of people commented on the beautiful back of this dress, and the slit struck the balance of sophistication and flirtation! Loved it!

Sexy and pockets!
This dress fit perfectly on my athletic build with small chest. I didn't wear a bra and felt totally secure and comfortable all night, which was surprising for a dress with such a deep V. This dress has pockets, and as we all know pockets are everything - danced all night and nothing fell out of them. Also, this dress looks great with flats or heels :)

Beautiful colors and fabric!
The fit was true to size, though as a small-busted size 6, I chose to go with the size 4 for a snugger fit. I'm 5'7" and needed to wear 4 in heels in this dress so that I wouldn't step on it all night (ended up stepping on it anyways while walking in grass, up stairs, and dancing). Pros are colors and fit - got compliments on this dress all night! Cons were that the wire boning in my dress was coming out a bit and was poking me in the chest all night. Unlikely to happen with every dress, though! Overall, I loved it and would recommend to women of all shapes and sizes!

Form-fitting and fab!
The fit was perfect, I'm usually a size 6 (athletic/curvy build) and the medium worked well. My biggest worry was that the cut-outs wouldn't be flattering, but I got lots of compliments on them! The material is quite thick, but very comfortable. The downside was that it bunched up quite a bit around the waist and hips when I danced. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend it!

Felt fabulous AND comfortable!
This was my first jumpsuit experience, and it was great. It fit well, though I did have to adjust it a few times throughout the night (usually while dancing, so probably related to my moves rather than the fit). I got lots of compliments from women and nearly none from men (neither here nor there, but interesting to note!).

Wore it to a black tie opt. outdoor wedding in Tucson and got lots of compliments!!
The fit was perfect (very form fitting as shown in butt pic haha; cut is appropriately low under the arms and the neckline landed at just the right place), and the dress is comfortable and very stretchy. I wore a size 6R with 2 inch wedges and the dress rested about 1/4 inch above the ground.
