Tons of compliments, vibrant, great shape!
Loved this gown, was perfect for a formal wedding. I love the square neckline and straps. I am 5’5” and it was perfect length with 2” heels. I would say if you’re under 5’3”ish, this may be a little long! I wore the 8. There is boning inside so while I thought this fit well, I’d consider getting your backup size as one larger in this case. Overall I got a lot of compliments and felt really great in this!!

Cute, comfy, flowy and soft
I wore this to a wedding rehearsal dinner and it was perfect! I usually wear an 8 but this had so much give I wore the 6 and thought it felt flowy. Even though the back is open, it is still high enough to wear a strapless bra which was a nice surprise lol. I only wore this for a few hours so not sure if it might get hot since it’s velvet but for this event I thought it was comfy and I had no complaints!

Comfortable but very low neckline
Wore this to my office holiday party. The shimmery fabric is great, loved the little cap sleeve. I am usually an 8 sometimes 6, and I sized down to a 6 in this. The fabric is soft, stretchy, and comfy. The only negative is that the neckline is very low. It was hard to find a bra, I think it still looked ok but maybe would be better without a bra… Overall I liked the dress but didn’t love!

Lots of compliments on this sleek, chic, modern take on a LBD!
Overall: I loved this dress and felt super confident in it! I got a ton of compliments and had a great time dancing in it. I don't typically wear black at all, but I thought this was fun and moved well! Length: The length was great, though a bit longer than on the model ha, but did not touch the ground, even when I changed to flats. Fit: It is definitely tight/runs small - I typically wear a 6 but I wore the 8, and while tight, it was fine. I wore a strapless bra and you couldn't see it. Suggest sizing up! Seasonality: This is definitely a warmer weather dress, the fabric feels almost like thing suede but it is lined to be smooth and feels good. Especially with the cutouts, I would not wear this if under 60 degrees unless you want to wear a jacket (which IMO defeat the purpose of the dress!). A side note: You will need help zipping up the top half (there are two zippers due to the cutout) - so just know you'll need a helper!

Comfortable and flattering, lots of compliments!
This dress fit perfectly for me. I wore it to a March wedding in Raleigh, NC, about 50 degrees. I'd say this is an all-weather dress, though may be a tad heavy for a hot summer day. I was able to wear a regular t-shirt bra which added to the comfort of the dress. I opted to wear tights which were fine under the sequins. The little cap sleeve was perfect, and not too tight so I was able to lift my arms easily. Colorwise: The only "concern" is that it is tough to see the blue to black ombre in photos, and it is a bit more on the navy side than the bright royal blue you see in the photo, but still vibrant and sparkly!

TONS of compliments on this dress! Perfect for a black tie wedding.
Overall, I thought it fit like a glove! I have an athletic/pear build with a smaller waist and larger hips so this fit me very well. The length was great for me, 5'5" w/ my toes just peeing out of the bottom. If you are any taller, you may want to go with the longer length.

Flattering fit, vibrant color, great length. Perfect dress for a summer formal wedding!
This dress was perfect, and I would highly recommend it, with a few caveats. I have curvier shape w/ a small waist and big hips, if you are built similarly, this will be perfect on you. The waist is narrow, and fits a bit like a bodice, so if you have a larger waist, you may want to size up, though I found it was true to size. Either way, you will definitely need help zipping this up. I wore this to a summer wedding that was indoors except for the cocktail hour. I personally was fine, but I think this dress would be too heavy if you are outdoors in heat for an entire event! The cobalt blue really pops (though it was very popular at this wedding!), and I received a lot of compliments! I am 5'5" and the regular length was perfect on me, with about 1/2" left to the floor. If you are 5'4" or under, you may want to try the petite size. Overall, this dress looks and fits exactly as pictured, and I would recommend it!

Lots of compliments! People asked where I got this dress all night.
I typically wear a 6 in dresses/skirts, and an 8 in pants. This was a very flattering dress, not too tight, and was definitely appropriate length for a wedding. I got compliments all night, and would definitely recommend this dress. It looks great in photos and was definitely one of the better outfits of the night. Wore it with nude tights, black pumps, and gold jewelry. The only "con" would be, that because it's cap sleeve, raising your arms all the way up was a bit difficult, so not recommended for pull ups, everything else, you should be good.
