Fun to dance in!
The length on this dress was great for a ballroom weekend we attended at a resort. I could dance, it spun nicely, yet was nice and dressy. It does not have much give, so that's something to keep in mind. My main problem is that the chest area had no room in it. My chest was totally squished into it. It didn't make it unwearable, obviously, but if you know what I'm normally shaped like, you would know this dress didn't show that! I'm a C cup, so not overly large. Just to keep in mind for those with a larger bust line.

Bracelets usually annoy me - I barely noticed this one!
The title says it all. Bracelets - especially hard bangles, usually annoy me and I fidget with them a lot. This fit really nicely and didn't bother me all night. And it's beautiful in person - a bit "fancy" but understated so it doesn't take over the outfit.

A beautiful dress for a spring rehearsal dinner
I received a lot of compliments on this dress and it was beautiful. I ended up wearing the large due to my chest. Know that the "wrap" part of the chest is only held together by one stitch, so I had to pin below that to keep it from gapping. But the pin did the job and the drape is beautiful. It was comfortable and I was able to wear a normal bra, although I would have gone with a racerback if I did it again as the left strap popped out from time to time. When seated, the underskirt has a tendency to creep up, so just keep an eye on that! :)

Elegant in lace!
I rented this and another dress for a ballroom dance weekend at a nice resort/hotel. I wore this one on the "more formal" of the two evenings as the lace lent a nice elegance to the dress. Although it was a shorter dress, it worked for the formal night and allowed me to dance without stepping all over a long gown. My only complaint was that the torso, which was quite fitted, creeped up repeatedly as I danced, being that my arms were raised to shoulder height. Assuming most people wouldn't be in a dance frame all night, this wouldn't be an issue!! I have a larger chest/ribcage, and the 10 fit very well, not too snug at all. In the 8, the sleeves were too tight for my arms as it is lace (not really any give) and they come to the elbow. The dress was otherwise quite comfortable and breathed quite well for being fully lined. And the pockets are ALWAYS a bonus for me in a dress.

Comfortable, gorgeous and easy to dance in!
I rented this and another dress for a ballroom dance weekend at a nice resort/hotel. I wore this one on the "less formal" of the two nights, and cannot believe how well it fit and how comfortable it was! So often cocktail dresses are hard to dance in as they are very fitted. This one was fitted enough to be flattering, but the skirt was fabulous for dancing. It didn't creep up, it twirled, but was heavy enough in the skirt to not fly up. I only wish I owned this dress because I would wear it all the time. And the pockets are just the double bonus on top of an already fabulous dress!!

Beautiful dress - I got compliments all night!
My main concern on this dress was the sheer front panel as I am not a small-chested woman. But, the way the dress is constructed made it supportive enough without a bra, and very comfortable as well! I didn't feel uncomfortable or like anything was going to slip or fall out. The gathering in the front is wonderful for hiding some "imperfections" in the torso, if you will. My event involved ballroom dancing, and with just a little lift of the back where the small train hit the ground on me (I'm only 5'3" and was wearing 3" heels), it was great.

The dress was as gorgeous as everyone said in their reviews. I was complimented all night long.
I ordered the 8R and the 10R. The 8R was definitely a better fit in length, but the 10R was much more comfortable for me. I wore about 4 inch heels, and it did hit the ground. Not a problem when walking, but I did have to hold it up when I was dancing (I was at a ballroom event). The dress is quite comfortable - it clings in a flattering way, not a constricting way. There is definite cleavage, so if you're not comfortable with that, you won't want this dress. But it was tasteful, not gaudy at all! I received compliments upon compliments and felt great. I tried to include pictures to show the front (detail and neckline), the detail a little closer up, and the length over all.

Gorgeous and comfortable!
I would normally consider myself a medium, and the medium fit perfectly! It is form-fitting, so make sure you have a good undergarments, I am about 5' 3", and it hit right at my foot. I wore about 4" heels and you could still see most of the shoes. This was an event with dancing, and I was able to dance without any problems.
