Unique but still formal
Liked this dress a lot! As others have said, the zipper was really tricky. It’s on the left side and is supposed to go over a part of the dress where the fabric becomes thicker and got stuck every time. I tried lots of different things and finally got it up, but it was kind of stressful. I have a larger bust and had a little trouble figuring out a bra situation that allowed for the strapless on one side but then also the cutout on the other side to show. I ended up using heavy duty boob tape to essentially build myself a bra. Like others have said, it’s quite long, but I knew that and wore high heels and it was fine. I don’t know that it was exceptionally flattering or slimming, but it was fun and I liked standing out a bit while still being formal enough for a fancy wedding!

Cool dress, but not that flattering on me
I wore this dress as a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding. I have a very full chest and the dress didn't fit great on me. The top section basically stopped RIGHT under my bra, so it was more of an empire waist than I expected. The v at the top of the neckline was also higher than I expected, so there wasn't much cleavage opportunity. I like the two tone and the idea of the dress, but it wasn't a very flattering cut on me.

Unique yet formal
This dress was very hip. I felt appropriately dressed up for a formal wedding but still stood out in the crowd. My main complaint is that I didn't listen carefully enough to other reviewers and order up enough. I'm usually a 6 and ordered a 6 and 8. The 6 wouldn't zip and the 8 was still really really tight. I wish I'd ordered a 10.

Great dress for office holiday party!
I had a great time at my office holiday party in this dress. I'm somewhere between a small and a medium and the small fit well. It was perhaps a little bit tight in the upper arms, and the sleeves were a tiny bit short (but that was fine because I could just push them up a bit). It was also shorter than I expected/than it looks on the model. But I thought it looked good and clung in all the right places. Agree with the other reviewers that it's more of a forest green than it looks in the RTR pictures.
