Runs Small
I originally had a size 1 and it was just to small all over. I returned it for a size 2 and it was literally no different. There was no size label in it so I don't know if it really was a different size, but it felt the same. Pretty sweater, but definitely weird sizing.

Loved it!
I love this with the matching sweater so much that I bought them. Full disclosure, I found them for less by doing a google search.

Cute Ruffles Made A Regular Thursday Lunch More Fun
At first, I couldn't decide if I liked the pale blush color or if it just looked like it was supposed to be white, but didn't quite get there. I wound up wearing it and once it was on my body the color looked right - almost like being up against the color of my skin enhanced the color of the blouse. It was really a cute top with cropped jeans and wedge sandals - I considered keeping it, but ultimately chose against it because the top looked like it had been a bit worn so I couldn't justify the price.

A little more exciting than just a cocktail dress
There was little to no information (and no reviews) of this dress so I was guessing on the sizing. I'm usually a 4 and ordered the small. It wouldn't even zip all the way so I had to switch it out for a medium. The fabric is the perfect weight and it fit like a glove, but in my opinion it runs short. In 5'6" and had to wear heels with only about a half inch platform and about a 3 1/2 inch heel. As you can see, it was just a tad too short. There are also fake pockets on the front of the overskirt that I'm not sure if I liked our if they took away from the simplicity. The other surprise was the the straps have about a 2 inch overhang in the back on the outside of the dress and on either side where the strap meets the bodice in the back there are big gold buttons sewn on (one on each side) that just needed to disappear. If this was mine I would remove them. Fortunately my hair is long enough so they were covered for the most part. Overall though this dress was pretty fabulous - I just really wish it was longer. If you're over 5'6" you need to be wary or the length

No photos - Gown way too short to even wear
Absolutely beautiful color and neckline. Unfortunately it was short. I mean, I'm 5'6" and I could not have worn flats and not had my feet show (which I wouldn't even consider doing with a gown EVER anyway!). I was also a bit tighter than the other size 42R dresses I've worn by the same designer.

I wore this dress on Easter and it was conservative but still pretty and feminine.
The fabric was a nice weight and the dress was very flattering. The detailing of the sleeves was flattering and pretty. The hem was a bit long and if I were keeping it I would definitely have it hemmed. Otherwise it was great
