If only! If only!
The dress fit really really well - everywhere except the very top of the back zipper which couldn't close over my rib cage :( It fit just fine in the waist/hips/shoulders/arms - everything, but the underbust area seems to run small to me.

Super awkward fit
Well...I'm 5'2", so I expected the length to be off - but the weirdest part was the shoulders. The dress felt like I would need to hunch my back for the lace to fit properly. Kind of hard to explain, but needless to say - that's not going to work.

Love this dress.
It's actually fairly warm and hides flaws well! Great for a winter party.

Love this dress - would buy it in a heartbeat if I could find it!
VERY forgiving, but also very informal - something to keep in mind. The cups have a neat quilted pattern them that allows you to go bra-less due to the very slight padding this quilting effect provides.

Runs quite small. I am usually a small or x-small (5'3", 123lbs, 33-27-35) and I would have needed the medium - although I'm afraid a medium would have looked absurd in the hips. Probably best for a pear shaped body.

Gold Peacock Lace Dress
Haute Hippie
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 2"

Bust: 36C
Well, in short, I was just too short for this dress. Pros: Fabulous material, very fitted, but comfortable. Cons: I tried to wear it off the shoulder, but when I did, the back bunched up with way too much fabric. When I attempted to wear it the way it is picture (I actually wanted the off shoulder look), the bust was so low that it started UNDER my bustline (which I caulk up to just being too short). Not only that, but the space for your bust is so small that you would need to wear an extra small cup in order to not flash the cups all night. So: Not recommended if you 1) have a shorter torso (or shoulder to bust area) 2) want to wear it off shoulder (it simply is not constructed to be worn this way) 3) have any tummy, a larger bum or anything higher than a small B cup.
