Phenomenal print perfect for any season.
I'm usually a size 4 in dresses and I know Camilla and Marc runs small so I ordered a 6 for a backup size and ended up having to wear that because I couldn't even get the 4 on. If you stand very still and adjust alot, the dress looks like it fits will but it cut in all the wrong places. The seam on the skirt where the dress begins to flare was straight across my butt instead of below is, so when I walked to eh dress would ride up. That seam was small and the seam at the waist was too big. This could be due to my body type but it wasn't an effortless dress to wear. The print and silhouette are amazing though so it was worth trying to make it work and it looks good in pictures!

Th fabric is amazing and the cut is so flattering, but the print was my favorite part.
I usually wear a 4 but I know Camilla and Marc is a little small so I ordered this in a 6 with a 4 as a backup and the hem was unraveling from the 6 so I had to wear the 4 for Easter and it was very tight in the chest. It just zipped but I'm glad it did because it's one of the best dresses I've ever worn. The skirt was above the knee but not short (so it might be knee length on someone shorter) and the print and fabric were beautiful in person. I've definitely wear this again!

Fun colorful print and flattering cut make for a perfect summer cocktail dress.
I usually wear a 4 in dresses and I wore this in a 4 but I didn't wear a bra because it stuck out a little. Even though the dress fit, I kept having to pull it up. I don't think I'm a 2 but I kept thinking maybe a size smaller would've stayed up. I wore this to a rehearsal dinner and the length was appropriate enough to be with a bunch of families that I didn't know but fun and flirty at the same time. I've always loved Shoshanna's prints and dresses and this was no exception.

This dress is a show stopper, everyone was asking me about it. One of my all time favorites.
Because it's backless and you can't wear a bra, I would suggest a size down so that everything stays in place. The front is darted and somewhat tailored but the back seam is elastic. It moves beautifully and I never wanted to take it off. So comfortable and stunning. Wrinkles so easily, so make sure you steam it before wearing! I didn't have a steamer so it was fairly wrinkled.

quirky neon sequins are fun and flattering, perfect for summer nights.
This press fit well, it hangs like a tent dress, but the layout of the sequins in the middle of the dress are flattering. I thought it would be pretty sure because I', 5'10 but even with 4" heels it was still about mid thigh. The sequins are cool but because they're layered paillettes, when you bend over or fold the dress, they bunch up and cause it to buldge wherever they were moved so one by one you have to put them back into place.

The beaded neckline made this already fun dress that much more unique. Perfect for summer parties.
When I went to order this dress, it wasn't available in my size but I wanted it so badly that I ordered 2 sizes up hoping I could work with it. I'm usually a 4, but I got it in an 8 and just tied the belt a little tighter and bloused the top over it a little bit. Because it's backless, the size didn't matter that much because obviously it's not tailored. I loved this, the fabric bead detail at the neck is my favorite part.

One of the most beautiful and well made dresses I've ever worn. Simply stunning.
This dress is so stunning in person, the quality is AMAZING. Even though it's a sexy, fitted dress it's well tailored and lined and the fabric feels like heaven. I wore the 4 and it fit like it was tailored to my body. The lace insets seem subtle in pictures but are very beautiful in person. I would rent this again in a heartbeat.

Needed to order at least a size up.
I didn't end up wearing this dress because it was a huge struggle to get on. There is a I am usually always a 4 in dresses and I didn't receive a backup size so I had to wear an alternate dress. There is some kind of built in "bra" in side but its just a light mesh fabric with boning like a corset and you can see the boning through the top fabric in the chest area. For being a designer gown I was a little shocked at the thin fabric which is also unlined. I love the idea of the dress with the oversized bow, but it was complicated to get my arm through the shoulder draping. The dress I received was also ripped at the zipper so I'm assuming, the customer before me had the same problem. The belt is black patent leather and has a u-hook to close and looks good in the picture but isn't the best match in person. Overall, I was a little confused how such a seemingly simple dress turned out to be so ill- fitting. Maybe I needed a 6 or an 8??

Punches up a simple LBD , definitely a conversation piece.
Very pretty necklace, for the retail price I expected the quality to be a little better and the weight to be a little heavier, but it was gorgeous on. I loved it.

simple and flattering, looks great punched up with some statement jewelry.
This dress fit well, but I wouldn't consider the fabric "jacquard." It is a fairly thin silk with a little bit of a pattern pressed into it but definitely nothing noticeable, which I was a little disappointed about because I was hoping for a thick jacquard texture. But overall the fit was true to size, I belted it to emphasize the waist and add color.

Friends telling me I looked like I lost weight in the dress!
Hits in all of the right places.Super thick, stretchy fabric that's realy really flattering. It's not too too short but I'm 5'10 so I had to pull it down every so often because it rides up a little bit once in a while. Unless you have a really flat stomach, wear with Spanx or control top tights. I loved this dress, I wanted to keep it!

I loved this dress so much I wore it all weekend!
I wore this to a summer wedding and loved it because the print was fun but not too dressy. I am pretty tall- 5'10" so maxi dresses are usually not really long on me, but this was super short. It was like 3" off the ground even before I put shoes on and was too odd of a lenth to wear in either flats or heels so I pinned up the front to make a faux mullet (rise and fall) hem. Other than that, it fit really well in the chest, I'm a 34 B/C and was light and comfortable.

Arabian Desert Maxi Dress
Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent
Size Worn: 6R
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 10"

I know some of the reviews say the dress was itchy because of the sequins- but who cares! Every single head turned when I walked into a room in this dress. It does scratch a little by the bust and the armpits but it's not bad. I'm tall so I got the 4L and 6L, but they were too long. I would've been fine with regular length. If you're tall, order a tall only if you're wearing stilettos. I'm usually a size 8, but the 6 fit because it's a little loose on the top. I loved this dress!

Most compliments Ive ever gotten on a dress!
One of my top 10 summer dresses of all time. The print is so fun to look at and people will definitely stop and stare. I usually ALWAYS need a bra, but because of the high neck on this dress I was able to forgo one which was good because of the very low back. You definitely cant wear a bra with it at all. Id order a size up, or definitely get a backup size larger because the fit can be a little constricting. It's on the shorter side, Im 5'10 so I definitely couldn't bend over, but as long as I was standing up or sitting with my legs crossed I was fine. So obsessed with this dress!
