Awkward fit
Overall this felt pretty blah and it did run small. The color is very muted (not my style) and the deep open back was a difficult fit. The 6 fit but def. gave me back bulge and it was clear the straps were never going to stay up. I'm a 34D and the dress really flattened my chest. Not for me!

Sexy and comfortable!
I LOVED this dress - fit was great and very flattering all night. I'm a 34D and often worry about cleavage, especially for weddings and even with the deep-V neckline, I felt sexy but appropriate. I was able to wear a regular bra and while the dress is in fact short, I felt very comfortable and wasn't pulling at it all night or anything. One of my favorite rentals from this wedding season.

Flattering, unique and girly!
I'm not usually a flowery girly girl but I couldn't help but love this dress! I usually wear a 6 but was able to make the 4 work and it really made my waist look small. I wore a regular bra and boy short underwear (the dress will "fly up" on you if you bend over or get crazy on the dance floor). Tons of compliments from my hubby and other guests. Quality fabric and very well made!

Runs very small!
I didn't end up wearing this dress - I could get it on and zipped but I felt very "Squeezed in" and not flattering! The dress itself is pretty but not good unless you are very slender.

Perfect for a Roaring 20's / Prohibition Theme Party
We said goodbye to my 20's with a prohibition theme party and this dress was perfect - felt modern and pretty but went with the theme. The lining is completely separate from the sheath so I wore a black slip underneath instead of the nude. Better for winter skin tone!! The dress is very comfortable but the elastic at the waistband shifted around a bit during the night. I'm happier with how I look in some pics vs. others based on what's happening at my waist!

Classic with a twist!
This dress looks conservative at first but the cutout on the stomach and the slit in the front of the skirt make it really stand out. I was told I was "best dressed" by more than one wedding guest! Bonus - you can wear a regular bra with the dress!!

This dress was sexy, sexy but so comfortable! Loved it and got tons of compliments.
I'm a D cup and was able to wear it without a bra which is always awesome!! Comfortable and flattering, it was perfect for a friends 30th birthday bash. It's actually very forgiving in the tummy area despite the cutouts because the skirt is a-line. Highly recommended!

Great, comfortable fit - eye catching pattern
I paired the dress with a chunky gold necklace, drop earrings and a men's style blue blazer. It was a perfect for a chilly September wedding! This dress is one of the most comfortable I've worn - the pattern makes up for a simple silhouette. Tons of compliments!!

Stunning for black tie
I wore this to a black tie wedding in Hilton Head. Both the 6L and 8L fit but the 8L allowed more room for my 34D bust. I did not wear a bra and was totally comfortable. You cannot wear spanks because of the lace back - not a terrible problem with the thicker fabric but you do have to remember to stand up straight! I wore 4.5" heels and the dress was brushing the floor but the slits allow you to walk comfortably, even up stairs. Everyone from my girlfriends to the band members were complimenting this dress - the back was particularly stunning. The color is more "bright blue" than Navy but its actually really pretty and stands out a little more!

Stunning head turner (and comfortable!)
Men and women alike complimented this dress all night at a black-tie wedding. The fabric is actually very thick which helps it flatter in all the right places. I'm 5'6" and wore the long with 4.5" heels. The dress was super comfortable and I didn't have to wear a bra (D cup). One of the best dresses I've ever worn!

Figure flattering elegance
This dress was fabulous! It was so flattering and elegant - perfect for a black tie optional wedding. I added accessories from Charming Charlie and was set for the night. I did go one size up based on reviews and needed it for my bust. First time in awhile I haven't worn my Spanx tummy tucker and was happy to be breathing easy but still feel great! One tiny drawback is that the boning structure of the dress did rub little raw spots on my back. Nothing awful but sensitive skin may fare worse. If I'd worn my spanx there would have been no issue.

Classy yet stunning - this dress was a hit
I wore this to a formal gala for my husband's work and it was perfect. I love to wear short but the sequins made it feel very dressy. I have a 34D bust and I was definitely showing cleavage but it wasn't too much. I did use a small safety pin to close the V neck just a little bit. Beware of slight chaffing under your arms. Unavoidable in sequins and well worth it for how great I felt in the dress!

So many compliments!
I wore this to a black tie optional auction at my College. Overall very happy with the fit and look of the dress. I was able to wear it with no bra (I'm a 34D!). The lingerie straps for hanging were slightly annoying as there was no way to secure them under the strap. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. I highly recommend this dress! The event is "black tie and sneakers" which is why I'm wearing converse with the dress...obviously much cuter with fab heels!

Cute but too small
I added this dress on to an order so only got it in one size. I am true to size in almost all dresses but the 6 was to tight in the waist and very short. With black tights it looked OK, but the length was really an issue! I ended up not wearing the dress. If I'd had the 8 I probably would have been ok, so size up!
