Ran big, felt a little like a Jedi (not in a good way)
This was big and slouchy and comfy, but it felt exaggerated. I typically wear a size 8/M top, but this was a bit large for me. The sleeves and the belt at the back were a bit much. I still wore it, but it wasn't a "wow, I love this!" piece.

This dress was absolutely stunning! The embroidery was beautiful and the colors really popped.
I ended up going with another option as the chest was just a little too big for me. The material, embroidery, and quality of the dress were amazing and I would definitely recommend it!

Super cool concept, just a bit too snug for me.
I loved the idea of this dress, but it just didn't work for me. I usually float between a 6 & 8, tending towards a 6. This was a little tight for me in the tummy & chest - it's a more fitted style and not necessarily comfortable for me. It was probably still wearable, but I'm opting for another dress.

Was swimming in my normal size!
The dress itself is absolutely stunning! The colors are very different than I expected (though, TBH, I can't recall if I read the product details on colors before ordering). I thought it would be tan and a deep blue/black, but it was pale pink, green, and silvery-grey with dark accents. The lace and material were stunning. The downside: an 8 was falling off of me. A 6 may have been better, but I used my backup on another from this same designer! I do foot between a 6&8, but the 8 worked in the other dress by the same designer. I'm shorter and the dress was down to my ankles and was in the awkward length between tea, ankle, and full.

Felt like a princess & got compliments all night!
I ADORE this dress and so did everyone else. It was incredibly comfortable and elegant without being pretentious. I was nervous it would be too fancy for the wedding, but it's very versatile and I could see it working in many settings. I ordered a 6R and 8R - the 6 was just slightly too tight in the torso. It could have worked, but the 8 was more comfortable. The 8 was a little big in the neck/chest (sometimes it would rise up when I sat down), but it was manageable with good posture and just a little readjusting. I did use fashion tape on the lower back because the weight of the dress twisted the fabric back/down and showed the inner liner. I went brakes and was completely comfortable all night; the fabric is heavy enough that I wasn't worried about anything showing. The color was gorgeous - it is more white than taupe, so I was happy to pair it with black shoes rather than taupe. A bonus: it was a great dress to dance in!
