Be warned: it's SHORT!
This dress was DEFINITELY on the short side. I have long legs so I'm used to dresses being shorter on me, but I had to really watch out in this one--if I raised my hands in the air too high then my spanx would show! I'm also big chested and I felt like my boobs were a little squished, but that wasn't too big of a deal (I'm used to that too). I really liked the shape of this dress, and the sequin pattern helped to smooth out all my curves. I may order this again, but go an extra size up next time

Fun wedding dress!
Such a beautiful dress! It was super elegant, fun to dance in, and had pockets!! Worn to a wedding in November in Virginia, and the material was heavy enough to be warm while we were outside. Make sure you have a bra that will work with the open back, mine was barely covered. Belt is mine.

Sparkles AND pockets!!!
This was such a great dress, it was the prefect balance of structure and flowy, I felt romantic in it, and it had both sparkles AND pockets. The fit was slightly big, especially in the waist, and I tried putting a belt around it, but that seemed to accentuate the poor fit, so I opted to go without the belt. I don't think anyone could tell it was slightly big though, I got lots of compliments on it!

Beautiful, but small in the bust!
This dress fit beautifully, except when it came to the bust. I'm a 38F, and it was tight on me, but luckily the neckline came up high enough that no one could tell, I could just feel it. The belt is mine.

A real statement dress!
I rented this for a wedding of some good friends who had been together 15 years, and so everyone knew to dress extra special for the occasion. And this dress really did the trick! I got tons of compliments on it and could move very easily in it. The only downside was the strap was too long (I have this issue with lots of dresses)--thank goodness for double sided tape!

Too small, disappointing :(
This was a beautiful dress, but was only available in a size 12, which was too small for me. I will definitely keep it in mind in a larger size for upcoming events!

Big in the bust, but that made it work!
Not only am I busty, but I'm also a nursing mama, so I had to have easy access to the twins throughout the wedding, lol. This dress definitely did the trick!
