Obsessed!
I am absolutely obsessed with this jumper. I wore it to my husband's company holiday party with funky silver and black bracelets and pumps - it was gorgeous! It's unique, sparkly, and dressy while being somewhat mysterious and understated but sexy as heck. Definitely runs a bit small - I have a pretty athletic build but not a lot of lady lumps and I imagine that helped me wear it. Probably not a great choice for super curvy girls. I barely got the 8 over my hips but then boom fit like a glove! Any shorter waisted and it would've been up my you know what so if you;re taller than 5'8" or generally long-wasited, not a good choice.

Weird fit and not a stunner
This dress was just okay. I was glad to have a backup since I didn't wear it. The dress isn't a complete fail - the color is pretty and fabric is really substantial but the cut of the skirt is tight and long-ish. I thought the feathers would really add some flair but it just wasn't as "wow" as I wanted it to be.

What a great dress!
I rented this fun dress for a romantic anniversary getaway, however, we had to cancel the trip so I didn't get to wear the dress - at least no further than around the house. I did not find it ran small like other reviewers - I thought it was true to size. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the top is kind of plain and the overall cut could be sexier for such a fun dress. Definitely runs on the long side - I wouldn't suggest it for shorter ladies.

Cute and Classy
I wore this for my husband's company Christmas party. It was super cute - very conservative but a pretty color and nice shape. Not super sexy and flattened my already flat chest but perfect for an office-type event.

Love, love, LOVE
I absolutely loved this dress. I did not need the backup size but did need to pin the shoulder of the 40R. This dress was so comfortable - breathable and no need for a bra or spanx. Really show-stopping and just plain pretty. The only downside, as others have mentioned, is the weird boning in the chest area. It was nothing anyone else noticed, though. This one is a winner - I felt like I stood out but was classy, too. I wore sparkly gold earrings and two bracelets. I didn't opt for a necklace like some of the other ladies - I felt it wouldn't have been dressy enough for my event. Loved!

Wanted to love it, but...
I LOVED the photos of this dress but was disappointed upon receipt. It just did not flatter my figure and it seemed a little darker in person than the very bright, sparkly photo(s). The neck was tight on me but the rest of the dress fit so I didn't want to try a bigger size - perhaps my torso / chest length just didn't fit it right.

I wanted to love this dress.
I fell in love with the sophisticated, classic, understated but sexy look of this dress. The fit, however, left much to be desired. I felt it looked frumpy on me, plus it was a little scratchy and really restrictive. It was my backup for a wedding and I wore the other dress since I felt I couldn't move in this one.

Herve - beautiful as always!
Loved this dress. Super comfortable stunner in a gorgeous color. My only complaint is the bust - it falls kind of high and thus my boobs felt like they were in a weird place.

Striking color and hot legs!
I absolutely loved this Shoshanna candy apple dress. I wore it to an early fall wedding in New York. It was super comfortable, forgiving in the right places and shows a little leg, which I like. I was super comfortable eating and dancing all night. The color is gorgeous to boot!

Compliments, compliments, compliments!
This is an adorable dress. Conservative except for the length. I'm 5'8" and it was pretty short. The 6 actually fit me better but I opted for the 8th in order for a little extra wiggle room for bending over, etc. I dressed it down for a 4th of July party but it'd be even cuter with heels and extra jewelry, etc. Loved it.

Practical and understated but a show stopper!
I loved everything about this dress (aside from the self-portrait I had to take since my husband had a little too much fun at the party...). The fit was super forgiving (just had a baby!), roomy but snug in the right areas. Not too short but definitely shows off your legs if you're on the tall side. It was perfectly fabulous but not skanky for an office holiday party when you're aiming to impress. I paired a cheap Target belt with it for some extra definition since it didn't have a ton of definition in the waist. So versatile - lots of shoe and jewelry options. Love!

I danced ALL night in this beautiful dress - the boning up top held it up without the need for me to tug at it. This was my first social outing after having my baby boy two months ago and I felt so special after all of the great compliments!
I have nothing but good things to say about this dress! It was sexy but forgiving in all the right places. It ran a little small for me but I had a baby a few months ago so it's hard to gauge - I would recommend going a size up for the back-up. The color is gorgeous and bright without being obnoxious.

Everyone was distracted by the beautiful dress they didn't even notice my growing waistline!
I needed something for a friend's engagement party. At 22 weeks pregnant, I was looking for something sexy but forgiving enough to hide my tiny pooch. The dress was an absolute hit - I got compliment after compliment, especially about the open back. It was comfortable, warm for our "chilly" Florida winter, and just enough sexy while still being subtle and classy. I'd wear this again and again. It's so beautiful you don't have to accessorize much. The arms weren't tight but there wasn't much wiggle room so if you're heavier on top, just be aware that the arms might be fitted. If you want to show some leg, get this dress!

The compliments I got on my otherwise nonexistent "curves" thanks to the way this dress drapes.
I rented this dress for a one-year photoshoot with my husband. I wanted something different with interesting details that would stand out in photos and I got it! This is a fantastic dress for any occasion since it was super comfy, too, and fit in all the right places. It's sexy without being too short/revealing. Pair it with some fun jewelry and it's a hit.

Blending into the beautiful scenery with the amazing colors of this dress!
I rented this dress for a one-year photoshoot with my husband. I was looking for something different that would show up well in photos. This dress is really cool and definitely unique. I found that the top, despite its heavy boning, inched down a bit, but perhaps I didn't have the right bra on or just a large enough chest. I did love the skirt shape - it was super fun and youthful with its extra flounce. This would be a great dress for a summer bridal shower.

Hot legs!
I wore this jumper to a party (along with the necklace shown) and got tons of compliments. I dressed it up with black pumps and felt like the sexiest girl there. It's a great alternative to a dress for the right event. It fit a bit snug so I recommend going up a size, especially if you have a long torso or are tall, since the shorts are pretty short. Fabulous way to show off great legs. Loved it!

Tons of compliments!
I needed something to wear to a conservative party that I was sure would be full of blue and black dresses. I didn't want to blend into the crowd with a muted color but didn't want to stick out like a gaudy sore thumb, either. This was the perfect dress - a nice black alternative without being too bright and fit in all the right places. It was sexy without being too revealing - as long as you use booby tape. It was also very comfortable. A sure bet for a conservative event. Unfortunately, the photo doesn't do it justice (wish I had gotten a better one!).

Fabulous necklace - I wore it with the one-shoulder jumper shown in the photo. Different and comfy - not heavy like you'd expect it to be.
