Lovely flattering dress

Very pretty dress! Comfortable except when trying to move your left arm. Length is great for petites! I don’t love my upper arms and this dress was perfect for covering those but still being interesting with the one shoulder. It’s not a “show stopper” dress but worked well for an event with a mostly older crowd.

Way too small

I am normally a 0 or 2, and ordered the 2 and 4 based on reviews. I was unable to even zip up the 4! I also didn't love how the bottom skirt was structured (not that flattering), but the main issue was the size.

Runs large

I am normally a 2, but even the 0 was big on me, especially in the chest area. It's also just a little blah and seems dated in person. I didn't end up wearing it for my event.

Classic and elegant

I wore this to a charity gala. The color is very pretty and the cut flattering. I am normally a 2, but wore the 4 since the 2 wasn't available - it was a little loose but still fine to wear. I'm 5'3 and wore 3in heels, and the dress dragged a bit but not so much that I tripped. It was nice I could wear a regular strapless bra with it.

Very cute (and snug)

I wore this dress to a wedding and felt very good in it - loved the color, and the interesting neckline. I'm short and the length was great. I ordered the 0 and 2, and the 2 was a little tighter than I would have liked - I probably could have done the 4 if it was an option. However, I didn't feel uncomfortable at all and just needed to remember to suck my belly in throughout the night!

Classy and cute

Liked this dress a lot. I am small chested and the sides of the top were a bit big, but was able to just wear a padded strapless bra and that worked. Good length for petites.

Odd proportions, didn't wear it

I ordered the 0 and 2, and found the 0 to be too tight around the waist, and the 2 to be okay in the waist but way too big in the bust area. If I had worn a very padded bra, it might have been okay. Also, the dress came to my knees, and given that there is a lot of material to this dress (sort of puffs out from the waist), it was just too much on my petite frame. Probably would look really nice on someone at least 5'5 and with a bigger bust to fill out the top.

Flattering and comfortable

Fits snug around torso and chest. The straps are long as others mention, but not too terrible. Got lots of compliments!

Fun and comfortable

Gorgeous dress all around and perfect for a wedding. It was easy to move in and the bounce in the skirt is fun. It was a little shorter than I expected, so not sure how it would work on someone who is tall. For petites, highly recommended! Looks great with nude shoes. I also ordered the 0 but didn't even try it on as the 2 fit perfectly.

Classy and sexy

This dress was perfect for dinner and cocktails for my birthday. The sleeves made it appropriate for the winter time, but the short length definitely kept it super cute. It is very short though, so make sure you're comfortable with that!

Felt luxurious and super comfortable

This dress was great for a summer wedding, and worked for the more casual outdoor afternoon ceremony into the evening reception. It was a tad longer than I would prefer (I am 5/3), but still above the knee and very cute. It was really easy to dance in and I loved the little bit of sparkle in the material. Got tons of compliments!

Perfect for summer wedding

I am petite and always worried about length and one-shoulder dresses (being too baggy). This dress was perfect! I think if you are tall it would be too short, but I found it the right length for me at 5'3. It was fun to wear, very comfortable, and looks good with nude shoes.
