Shows eeeeeeverything
I kind of expected it but the inner liner should be thicker. You could clearly see the shapewear and I didn't wear it at the end of the day because all the lines were clearly visible. You need to be a stick to wear this one.

This isn't true to size but it is gorgeous. It was a shame but it wouldn't zip up for me. There's no give on the top. It's more of a blue than the aqua it appears in the photos, but still a gorgeous dress. Just posting the review to highlight the size issue. (If you had this in a size 18 or 20 I would buy it right now.)

Beautiful subtle accent piece.
Really beautiful. Added a nice touch of sparkle to a work event outfit without being too over-the-top.

Perfect for work cocktail event, compliments all night!
Work cocktail events are hard--it can't be flashy or over-the-top sexy but it does have to be fun. This dress was perfect! It's very classy, simple, and provides decent coverage while not making you look likea nun. The size 12 was perfect, I think--while the 10 was not too tight and was more of a traditional "fit" for me, this dress is designed to be a little loose, which again, works better for a work event. Compliments all night! The color is a tad darker than in the picture but still beautiful.

Amazing--loads of fun and lots of compliments
This was actually my backup of a backup. The jumpsuit that had been my first choice turned out to look bulky and weird on me. This looked great! Fancy enough for an evening wedding but still unique and fun. Just as an FYI: I didn't realize the pants were sheer under the draped coverings. I was already wearing black spanx underneath so modesty was preserved but otherwise I might have wound up showing more than I wanted while seated.

This bracelet is perfect. Tiny but perfect.
This bracelet is awesome. It is also tiny. It fits in exactly one place on my wrist and pinched a bit when it slipped. But still. Worth it.

It is a beautiful dress! I wore it wrong, I realize, looking at this page. Tuck the straps inside.
The color and design are beautiful and it looked great on me, despite my concerns about wearing this as a size 16. You'll want Spanx or your smoother of choice.

This dress is WAY more sparkly in person than it looks online! Beautiful!
The fit is a bit forgiving. I was almost on the verge of not fitting into this but spanx + slightly stretch fabric made the difference. Spanx are a 100% necessity. It's a gorgeous dress. I received compliments from total strangers both at the event and on the street.
