This was a hit. I had multiple people stop me to comment on the dress. Stood out in a sea of sameness and added just a little bit of edge while not losing the elegance. Would definitely wear again. The dress itself run a little large so if you’re between sizes go smaller.

This is an attention grabbing dress. More pink then red and. I am typically a 6. Wore the 4 but I am small waisted. Multiple random strangers came up to me to comment on the dress. Can't go wrong!

Side snaps are trouble waiting to happen
There are plastic snaps running up the side of the dress at the hip - felt like an embarrassing moment waiting to happen. Also very difficult to put on without destroying hair and makeup. Could be a fun dress but I'm a bit risk adverse when it comes to fashion mishaps - just pictured the snaps breaking free!

Not what I expected
Did not like this dress at all. The shoulder pads are awful and the fabric looked cheap to me. Not at all flattering.

Not for me
Forget about doing hair or makeup before you put this dress on. It's like sliding a pair of panty hose over your head. Fabric is forgiving but for me the arm holes rode up into my armpit and the fabric bunched a bit at the hips. It was so close to being stunning but just didn't work for me.

I didn't read the details well enough - this bag is made of straw basically and is starting to fray a bit. Not what I expected.

Nice everyday dress
I really loved the way this dress flowed. Fabric is a little weird - looks like half the dress is inside out - but it hangs nicely. Probably fits a bit on the larger side so if you go back and forth between a 6 and an 8 go for the 6. I would rent this again.

Stand out in a sea of sameness!
I was surprised at how much I loved this dress. I attend multiple award shows throughout the year as part of my job and everyone said this was their favorite so far. The only downside is that I am tall and the bodice was about an inch or two higher on my waist than I would have liked - most of my height is in my legs so if you are tall and have a long torso, it might not work on you. Heads up - the zipper is really difficult to get up so you need someone help getting into it and the back is just low enough that a regular bra doesn't work.

Great dress ... Fits true to size and is forgiving of imperfections. Very simple and well made. A great go to for a little black dress.

A bit too youthful for me
Overall it is a pretty dress and if I were 20 years younger, I probably would have loved it. As with other dresses from this designer, if you are tall, the fitted portion stops about 2" above your natural waistline so fit is a little off.

Fun and different
Was looking for something a little edgier for the American Music Awards - this was actually my back up dress. Wasn't sure about it at first but soooo comfortable and as with the last dress I wore from the same designer, stands out from the sea of sameness.

This was "mystery bling" - didn't love at first but paired well with the dress.

Nice option for cooler weather
This dress grew on me. At first I was concerned about the fabric being too sweater-like and not being dressy enough but the detail draws the attention. Super comfortable except for the fact it dips pretty low at the cleavage.

Not for me
I am 5'10" and a pretty solid size 8 - this dress was incredibly unflattering. The fitted area stopped about 2" above my natural waist and then ballooned out. Fabric was lacy and very bridesmaid-like. Would not recommend for anyone over 25 years old.

Stands out from the sea of black gowns
Definitely stands out from everything else - very unique and tons of compliments. I am 5'10" with 4" heels and it was just long enough. Any taller and it would have been a little short in the back. You will likely need to get it pressed as it does not travel well and came with a few deep creases that made it look a little like a paper bag at first, but once pressed, it was perfect. The fabric is thick and forgiving - it was a miserably hot LA day but the open at the legs helped to offset the heavy fabric in the middle.

Way too short if you are over 25
This had the potential to be a really fun, great dress. However, as a tall woman with very long legs, it barely came to the bottom of my bum. If you are petite or have really great legs it would be a killer dress but would not be flattering otherwise. I ended up wearing the safe option.

Comfortable and simple
This is a great option for a cocktail-optional party. Its is very formfitting so if you are self-conscious about showing curves or a tummy, this dress is not for you. I am 5'10" and broad shouldered; the large was way too big across the arms and shoulders and a bit baggy. The medium was a bit more formfitting than I would typically like but overall was pleased with how it fit and it was a great length for a corporate event. I would wear it again.

Surprising
I was concerned about the long sleeves and feeling a bit dowdy but its actually very flattering and forgiving. It also is longer than you would expect but the dress tends to ride up as you walk so I did find myself tugging down on it quite a bit. The one big disappointment is that the dress had either not been drycleaned at all or was drycleaned poorly as the underarms smelled. I didn't notice it when I first put it on and figured it out too late. I found myself extremely self conscious and having to keep my arms down all night fearful that I smelled like BO.

I am 5'10 and ordered the tall size 8. It is very flattering thru the body but the length was too short for heels. The tallest you could be in this dress is maybe 5'8 at most if you want to wear heels. Also was showing quite a bit of wear. If it had been the right length I would have likely rated higher. Unfortunately both this and my back up dress were too short and couldn't wear either.
