Lovely, but heavier than expected.
Very pretty, size as expected based on measurement, but heavier than expected (only because another reviewer said they were not heavy, so I wasn't expecting it).

Armholes cut way too wide and deep.
As you can see from the photos, the armholes are huge. Other reviewers mentioned this as well. I tried every bra I own; this one showed the least. It kind of ruined the dress for me, because I was either worried about my bra showing, or wearing a cardigan (fine-knit, but still; not the look I was going for), all evening. I thought of using dress tape, but I didn't think it would stay, and that would look worse -- to have the dress detach from the tape, and then the tape AND bra would have been showing. Really too bad, because otherwise it's a lovely, comfortable, elegant dress. As for size, the 10 was OK, but snug, and showed even more flesh at the armholes than the 12 did. Also, the 10 was more worn than the 12; the fabric around the armholes was sort of permanently rolled out, so that a good half-inch of the facing/lining showed. They shouldn't rent dresses in that condition.

Gorgeous from the front; for this 50-y.o. woman, the width of open back was not ideal.
Fits close, looks great standing up, but does ride up considerably when you are seated. As you stand, you will need to smooth it back down from the mini it has become, back to above-knee length. My back (average) and this open-backed dress were not a perfect match. If you are young or have a very toned back, definitely go for it.

Gorgeous but unforgiving of any apple-ness.
Pros: beautiful color, substantial fabric. Cons: it really does fit like a sausage casing. Twenty years ago I would had rocked it :). Also runs small (in addition to the very slim fit.)
