twist in front felt a little awkward but loved the pockets
The front of the blouse has an odd twist which adds a lot of bulk at the waist. I did love the pockets but didn't feel as comfortable in the jumpsuit as I had hoped. Definitely needs a safety pin to keep the girls from escaping.

wrap-around style makes the perfect fit a snap!
I would have ordered a size down because the wrap-around fit was super easy to adjust and at least one or two sizes down would still have worked fine.

Chic casual, perfect for summer afternoon hanging out
two rows of ties built into the blouse made it easy to adjust the fit. I pulled one a bit snug but left the other completely loose and enjoyed the way it came out. Make sure to double-tie the resulting bows or you'll be re-tying all night

Super comfortable, perfect for garden party
great fit! The dress buttons from the waist up to the collar, so choose your cleavage ;) I'd recommend some fashion tape and perhaps a safety pin at the top button to keep the girls under control if you're large chested, but I didn't really have too much of an issue.

Flattering and forgiving fit, super comfy as well!
I've been losing a lot of weight, so I guess I'm closer to a 12 these days than a 14 but even so, this dress definitely ran large. The under layer is a very stretchy, very bright "fuchsia rose" color, with an equally stretchy, lacy, deeper "amaranth purple" top layer. I would order a size down for your second size if possible, since the cut and fabric of this dress is very flattering and forgiving. It's very very comfortable to wear. If it came in smaller sizes, I'd definitely order again.

So many compliments, would fit anyone!
I wish this dress were available in smaller sizes! I just couldn't resist. I normally wear a 14 but it looked like it would work anyway and it did. I probably could have worn a 12 in this, as it's stretchy and runs large. Cinch it with a gold belt to bring in the waist.

So much sparkle!
I received numerous compliments on this gown throughout the evening. The fit was definitely loose and long. I'm 5'4" and wore this with 3" heels during a very active event. I did at times have trouble with people behind me treading on the dress, as even with the heels the dress went all the way to the floor. I would go a size down next time but had gained a bit of weight on the details below and have been wearing a 14 normally. NOTE: it looks very gold in the photo, but is actually slightly more copper colored. Consider this as you select your jewelry.

Runs too small to wear
I rented 3 other size 12 dresses to wear to evening events during a multi-day affair, and of them only this one didn't work out. It was very pretty, but ran too small to work for me.
