Another fabulous dress!
Very flattering dress, great fit. What really stands out is the sea of colors! Pictures don't do it justice.

Forgettable
This dress looked really pretty and perfect for an evening in Miami however once it was on I wasn't impressed. It wasn't anything in particular. Its a bit tacky and the cut isn't as flattering as I'd thought it would be. It wasn't awful, but I was disappointed and went with the backup. It reminds me of something J Lo would wear like 10 years ago.

So flattering I went out and bought it! If you have a larger chest go a size up!
This dress is so fun and so flattering!! It fits very true to size HOWEVER its worth noting that if you are busty, you may need to go a size up and that will alter the fit of the rest of the dress. I had to use a safety pin to keep from popping a button. If you are really busty then I suggest skipping this one or use a safety pin-the safety pin worked out well but it was still a bit snug and I didnt like having to check it regularly. Bottom Line: I loved this dress so much that I went out and purchased it one size up and then had it taken in to solve the chest issue. If you are a full C or smaller you will be just fine (I'm a 34 DD) so technically the dress is true to size

One of my friends was so busy noticing my dress that it took her a minute to notice who was wearing it! She said she immediately thought "wow what a great dress that girl has on" and was eyeing it before she even made the connection that one of her friends was the one wearing it!
One thing I LOVE about this dress is its ability to be sexy and elegant at the same time. It isn't too tight or curve-hugging and the neckline is high but flattering on most body types. The sleeves go to the elbow and from the waist up the dress looks attractive in a conservative way. The waist down is a slightly different story and if you've got the long legs for it, by all means show them off! The cut of the dress makes the derriere look round and perky and the legs look long. It is just form-fitting enough so that you don't look like you're wearing a potato sack- but there's enough looseness and coverage to hide a few trouble regions like the tummy and upper arms. This dress was a great choice for a classy party.

Disappointing! And so cute!
This dress has SO MUCH POTENTIAL!! The pattern is beautiful the material is amazing and there were so many things I liked about the dress except the fit. I am usually a 4 and I chose the 6 because of the reviews that it runs small. It was way too small in weird places. If you are super skinny and/or have a "ruler" body type (straight up and down) and have narrow hips and a smaller chest, go ahead and rent it because on the right person this dress will look fabulous!! I just wish it worked for me :( If I ever see this dress on sale in a size 10 I would consider buying it and then having a tailor alter it down to fit me, I really did like the dress that much HOWEVER I cannot recommend this dress unless you are a toothpick.

When someone walked over from a group of people and said "excuse me, but we were all just admiring your dress and wanted to tell you it is absolutely STUNNING"
This dress was a hit at my friend's formal winter wedding! I've honestly never received so many compliments from both strangers and friends alike. I normally wear a size 4-6. I preferred the overall fit of the 4 but was unable to zip up the top so I went with the 6. I am top heavy and recommend going for the higher size if you have large breasts, a little back chub, or carry weight in your back and upper arms. I guess you could say I preferred the bust on the 6 and the from the torso down on the 4 but regardless it looked great. This dress is very elegant, unique, and a head-turner. The fabric is very flattering and the top layer is this sheer sparkling material that gives the overall look a princessy yet classy feel. One last thing, I am 5'8 barefoot. The overall fit and hang of the dress clearly go best on women who are on the taller end (5'6 and up in my opinion). While the cut is very forgiving in the torso region, it can accentuate large arms and upper body so bear that in mind.
