Beautiful color with a unique neckline and back accent.
Wore this to a "Fairytale" Ball with my family. Fun easy dress! It did run big--I'm usually a 4 and I wore the 2 (I'm 5'2" and 120).

Wore it for Easter--it was perfect.
The sleeves are very "fluttery" which I'm not used to, but it was a lovely dress that worked for Easter Mass and then brunch.

Splash of color with a fun accent.
The size 4 fit very well (5'2" and 120b) and even gave me room in the midsection. It was flirty without being too sexy for a wedding.

Soft flattering color with sparkle. Good for short women!
The dress is looser through the middle, so I ended up wearing a size smaller than normal. Typically I wear a 6 in most of the dresses I rent here, but this one was a 4 and it fit perfectly. The flowing back part was beautiful and the length allowed me to easily walk up and down stairs, which happened to be necessary. It is a little scratchy on the inside on bare legs, but you can deal with it.

Fun, classy dress for afternoon derby party.
Another reviewer had recommended sizing up, but the six fit loosely, and I probably could have had a more fitted look in the 4 (my back-up size was an 8, which I didn't even try on since the six was loose). Since I was headed to a Derby Day party serving fried chicken, I was happy with the looser fit! The back drapes beautifully, but the front pockets are a bit odd. You have to physically lay them down inside to get it to look right. The belt was missing from the size 8, but that was fine since there was one on the 6. I did think the belt was loose though, so I had to pin it to cinch it and get it to lay flat. Gorgeous color, fun style, and I received lots of compliments.

Perfect for Easter Mass and brunch with the family. Classic styling.
The dress is very fitted around the ribcage, but easy around your stomach, due to the flare. It worked great for my size, shape, and height. I loved it.

I wore the back-up dress bc this dress didn't fit well.
I ordered the MR but the back-up size (SR) wasn't available. That was a mistake. For a 5' 2" woman, the MR was just too much material in front and back, and the neckline too low for me. The Small Regular probably would have fit. But I ended up wearing the back-up dress that I had also ordered, which was beautiful.

I don't usually wear clothes like this, so I surprised some people. But I got lots of compliments!
The length was a tiny bit long since I'm 5' 2", but I wore silver high heeled sandals to make it work. The dress draped very nicely (and forgivingly) over my "mommy" stomach, which while flat, is not as firm as it used to be after having two kids. I did end up wearing a low-back strapless bra and taping it to stay put. That gave me some much-needed oomph up top. The back was really flattering for my arms and shoulders. I ordered both 6R and 8R--they were almost identical, but the 6R seemed to have less material, which worked better since I'm short.
