It's fine...
The dress looked cheaper than expected, but it was fine, not horrible. It was also a bit shorter than expected. Also note the color is more white-and-black than grey.

Easy, flattering, and comfy
I liked how the dress was interesting in cut, but super stretchy jersey so it moved with me and I didn't have to worry about it. I also liked the neckline--low and interesting, but not too much boob so I didn't worry about leaning forward and accidentally flashing someone. The asymmetrical hem works, as the short side is not too short, and the long side doesn't get in the way. Skimmed rather than hugging curves, so was flattering and forgiving.

Very appropriate dress
The black and navy makes it not boring, but the cut is classic. It fits in anywhere? I kept sitting on the side detail, but it wasn't a big deal. It was comfy and I felt good all night.

Wear a strapless bra
The dress is a fun, easy party dress. Do make sure to wear it with a strapless bra, as others have noted. The top part is sheer lace.

Beautiful, but not for conservative events
Really sexy, gorgeous dress. If you're an hourglass like me, it's got a lot of va-voom, so I wouldn't wear it to a work event. Very flattering.

Not for bustier women
It was really tight in the bust, and the waist was placed oddly so that the skirt was unflatteringly poofy. Colors were pretty though. I'd skip it.

Order a size down, but a good bet.
Hangs well, easy wear, comfortable, and pretty. But it's sized really strangely, and I wish I had ordered a size down. I put a longer black sweater over it and belted it at the natural waist, and it looked very put together. It's a bit long, so good for taller girls and higher heels so it doesn't look dowdy.

Didn't work.
Not good for the buster among us. I looked like I was wearing a pirate corset. Had to find another dress.

Proportions wrong
The proportions were all wrong. It flared too early (and I'm short waisted!) so made me look much thicker than I am. I sent the dress back without wearing it. The color was also much muddier than it looks in the picture.

Flattering
While the sequins were a bit scratchy around the arms, the dress was flattering and sat well. The back was a touch low for a regular bra, but I taped mine in and it stayed all night.

Sparkly
Felt kind of cheap, but I got loads of compliments. Would look really good with deco or flapper styles as well. Comfy if a bit large and dangly.
