Classic
Perfect classic LBD. Fits like all Theory clothing. A little tighter in the waist and arm holes, but the skirt flare makes room for American hips/thighs.

Fun, flirty, and good for most occasions
This dress is great for everything! I wore it to work, out with friends, to church, and to a late afternoon casual wedding. The bottom of the dress doesn't fit tightly, so it works with larger hips/thighs. And the flare at the bottom is a great fun detail that prevents it from flying up in high winds. Loved it!

Dressy casual
Interesting to wear because the top layer of the dress is a very different fabric, weight and feel from the bottom layer of fabric. The bottom is a form-fitting, light-weight black dress. The top layer is a heavy, grey, ribbed sweater. The sides of the sweater had high slits allowing the top to move independently from the bottom. This difference made me a bit conscious that I wasn't fully covered (like when your zipper is down). However, it was a very pretty look. And, the fit would probably work for most body types. I recommend ordering the exact size you need or a larger size to get more coverage from the top layer.

Compliment grabber
When I received this dress, I wasn't very pleased with the look, fabric, or quality of the dress. Thought that it appeared very low-end and actually didn't wear it for a long time. However, when I finally wore it, I received tons of compliments. It is really cute and girly - my typical style. The bottom flares in a way that it hides waist, hip and thigh imperfections. The design and colors are also beautiful.

AMAZING, sexy LBD!
Seriously, one of the most understated photos of a dress ever! This is the most gorgeous, best fitting, sexy dress I've ever worn...and I wear a lot of dresses and love to go out! The fit is perfect everywhere for a long and lead body! It has a lining that makes it fit and flow perfectly. The top is layered fabric that cover the chest but leave a tiny hole and gape just enough to create a bit of mystery. I wore it for a birthday party in Miami. Was first unsure if black was the right choice for this event...but it turned a hot summer night even steamer! All that could be seen through the little peep hole was a little bit of skin at the top of my belly...but guys couldn't keep their eyes (and sometimes their hands) off of it. As a girl with a flat chest, I'm not used to having guys even notice that part of my body... :) It also covers enough an entire regular bra - straps, cups and all - which makes it far more comfortable to wear. Hope you love it as much as I do!

Needs to come with instructions...
Beautiful dress, design, fabric, detail, etc. However, impossible to figure out how to put it on and wear it. :) I didn't take time to figure it out, but I'm sure there must be a guide somewhere...

Elegant and beautiful
This dress is very fun and flattering design. The material is flexible, so it fits nicely throughout. I ordered a size larger to ensure that it would fit, but that was unnecessary. It's typical American vanity-sized. :) The top also gives flexibility if you have a bit of a food baby in your belly. It can be dressed up for a more formal event, but I wore it to work. It perfectly covered all the bits that keep you looking like a professional, and the length was below the knee.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Beautiful dress - the color, the fabric, the fit, the style, everything! The length is flattering, but short for a long pair of legs (which I like!). I wore it to the office, and everything was appropriately covered. It was easy to move in and the fabric stretched to fit all of my curves. The one thing to note is that the zipper is gold. This may be helpful in planning accessories and shoes. I had planned to wear a pair silver shoes, but had to nix that when the dress arrived. It was beautiful with a pair or nude patent shoes and would be great for a spring wedding, date night, or other church-dressy or a bit more event.

Pretty and prissy
This dress runs true to Tori sizes, but a bit larger than some of the other fits. Her clothes are typically made for shorter, thicker bodies, but it also worked (when letting the waist sit higher than my natural waistline) for a long, lean body too. I always worry about white, but I couldn't see through it at all, even in the sunshine. The lace detail was a very nice and elegant touch. Very good option for a casual office, ladies brunch, garden party, date night, etc. Probably can't be dressed up for a formal event, but very cute in casual places.

Perfect for all body styles
The first thing I noticed about this dress was the physical weight of the material. I was slightly afraid that it would make the fit awkward. However, nothing could've been further from what happened. I would think this dress if perfect for all body styles! The material stretches, but lays perfectly on every curve. And the vertical lines and precise stitching accentuate all the right parts. I did order it a bit too big, so the arm holes were a little too big. But, don't be afraid to order the actual size you are because it will stretch where it may have otherwise been too large. It's a good length and coverage for the office, which is where I wore it. But, it would also be nice for an evening out or special event.

Gorgeous, slimming design!
Beautiful fit for a long and lean body. It's typical European designer sizing, so err on the side of a larger size. I did that, and it fit perfectly! The layered sides with the single strip of a dark color in the middle make you look very slim. Fabric is very nice, and the details were perfect. The dress has a lot of character and doesn't need accessories...just a nice pair of shoes (I chose my silver Diors) and go!
