I loved this dress! First off, it has pockets! Second, the sheer mesh at the top is nicely done and actually keeps the dress from opening and showing too much since you cannot wear a bra. Third, it was comfortable to wear and was a thick material with embossing that really made it look elegant and classy. The sparkle and texture of this dress makes it look like a million bucks and I got so many compliments on it. I'm 5'9" about 165lbs and usually wear a size 8 or 10. This was a new dress with no reviews when I ordered it, so I feared the worse and ordered up a size not down a size. I wish I had ordered down a size because the 10L was a little loose on me especially in the top area (when you want it to be tight). I had plenty of room to dance all night though and it worked out just fine! Would own this dress if I could afford it.

The dress fits true to size. I am 5'9' and 169lbs normally wearing a size 10 and long length in dresses and this fit was perfect. I personally did not have any trouble with the straps being too loose but I did have to use fashion tape to keep the top from opening up wide when I sat or bent over. It was a perfect dress for a wedding. I love that it has pockets!!!

The overall dress does fit small like everyone says, so size up 1 to 2 sizes. I normally wear a size 10 and I couldn't get that size over my hips but the size 12 fit... just snug. Because I had to size up however, the top was way too big (I'm a 36B-C) and I was swimming in it. I had to wear a strapless/backless bra and buy some VS fake breast inserts as well to help fill out the large gap. With that said, I absolutely loved this dress and felt amazing in it. So many people stopped me to ask me where I got the dress and gushed over the dress. The dress photographs great, is made of a very thick (and heavy) material, and is a great gun metal color. I felt truly stunning!
