Pretty dress to stand out at a black tie event! Elegant and feminine.
Fit was comfortable and fitted. I am a 6 up top and 6/8 on bottom and the 6R was perfect. I am 5'2" and wore 3 inch heels, the slit made it easy to walk, and the dress just brush slightly in the back, so length was perfect! Easy to dance/move/sit in. Straps are indeed loosey goosey and annoying, they wouldn't stay tight for whatever reason. Wore it with strapless bra and spanx thong.

Black and White holiday party
The dress is very comfy, a fitted stretchy fabric. The top was a bit loose around the neck and sides. I wore a strapless bra and felt it made me look saggy with the top being too big. I wish I had a halter bra on this trip. The back is more interesting than the front. The sequins are classy, not cheesy. I got lots of compliments!

Glam and feminine
Very fitted and flattering. The fabric is very heavy. Didn't end up wearing as I thought it would be too hot and restrictive for dancing. Still gorgeous!

Prettier in person, loose on top
This was my back up dress for a formal gala. The fabric and style were far more beautiful in person. Didn't end up wearing it because the top /back was too loose (I'm a C cup) and the dress was waaaaay too long even with 3" heels. The fabric was light and stretchy, just couldn't fill it out the way I wanted to. Maybe better for someone with more chest.

Felt like a woman - Compliments all night!
This dress was perfect! I wore it to a scholarship fundraising gala where formal attire was required. Very comfortable slightly stretchy fabric hugged my curves. The neckline is a deep v, I had to where a backless strapless plunge sticky bra and it worked perfectly. I'm a C cup and found the straps to be just a tad too long, forcing me to pull the dress down and expose more cleavage. The length was perfect with 4" heels, I'm 5'2", and the high low hem in the front made it easy to walk and dance. Hubby was all over me, and I caught some other men looking too ;-) Would definitely buy!

Just ok, needs tlc
I wore this necklace to a formal gala to add interest to a simple gown. The style of the necklace was nice; however the condition seemed dingy and in need of cleaning. Also, the style made it hard for the necklace to lay down properly with the jeweled neckline facing up.

It's all about the back
Very comfortable dress with a dramatic yet elegant exposed back. I received a lot of compliments and felt the dress was flattering. The front is pretty bland, it would be better with a v neckline or some embellishment. Definitely requires a statement necklace and backless bra as there was no built in shelf support. I would size down for your backup. I am 5'2" and the length was perfect with 3" heels. Probably not the best dress for dancing as many people got caught in my train.

Great fit, endless compliments!
Wore this dress to a non-profit fundraising gala and received tons of compliments. Dress fit true to size and is made of a quality heavy fabric. Very complimentary and showy of my hourglass figure. Requires a NuBra or any backless bra as the back is mesh and see through. I'm 5'2" and wore 3-4" heels and the length was perfect.
