SO beautiful and comfortable!!
This dress is beautifully cut in a heavy soft fabric. I loved the square neckline and easy draped waist. Fortunately, I found a balconette bra that didn’t show. The pockets were a huge bonus. They are positioned on the side and deep enough to carry a phone inconspicuously so I didn’t need to worry about carrying a small handbag. I choose a size 4 and 6 and sized down.

The dress is cut so beautifully with an elegant white drape across the shoulders.
I loved the neckline and drape of the material. There is a comfortable silk lining with just the right amount of stays in case you decide not to wear a strapless bra. The dress has a short train in back. I am 5’6 and was able to wear three inch heels with no worries.

Flattering and comfortable
I have rented dresses from this designer - La Petite Robe di Chiara Boni before and love the simplicity, well cut designs, and flattering shapes. This dress has a thick stretchy material that moves and gives as needed and holds beautifully... Who wants to worry about being uncomfortable all night?? I rented a size 44R (larger than I normally do) and appreciated the extra room. I'm 5'6", 34C, 130lbs...

Material looked like "Granny Curtains"... the photos are misleading
Apologies... but the dress does not look like the photos. The material is very flimsy and not flattering. I really had hoped the dress would be great for a casual garden wedding. No luck...

What a comfortable, flatter dress!!
The dress is extremely comfortable and well cut and designed. It has just the right level of gathering in front which flatters and draws the eye away from any tummy bulges. (smile!!) I also loved the soft lining that stretched nicely with the material. The dress can be easily dressed up or down casually. I wore this with a simple navy blazer for a huge presentation at work... and then with a casual down vest and tall boots for a Fall boat club fundraiser over the weekend.

Love this purse!!
I wore this to a rehearsal dinner with an olive-colored suede dress and it was the perfect complement for an informal Fall pre-wedding party. The purse is just the right size for an iPhone, lip gloss, keys, money and cards... The leather is thick, buttery, well sewn, and lovely. The dark matte studs are nice addition that gives a less formal texture. I removed the thick red shoulder strap and only used the dark matte chain.

Beautifully tailored off the shoulder dress
The material is a beautiful, slightly heavyweight brocade. The colors are a subtle plum on navy. I loved the pockets that were discreetly cut into the side seams.

Classic and Comfortable
This is the perfect dress for the transitional September days when it is chillier in the morning heading to work, warm in the midday, and cooler after hours. The dress is extremely comfortable, drapes well with just the right looseness at the waist yet retains tailored polish. I like the slight collar at the neckline and the crossed material at the bodice. I also appreciated the 3/4 sleeves with a silky contrasting material so the sleeves could be rolled up higher to the elbows. The subtle royal blue color of the material is very flattering... and more fun than Navy.

Beautiful and SO comfortable... I would wear this again...
This dress is amazing... The material has just the right amount of thickness and stretch to make it feel SO comfortable and at the same time, SO flattering. I received compliments all night. I wore the 40L size which fit better on my shoulders. I ordered the 42L as a backup but the boatneck off-the-shoulder sleeves were continuously bunching up. (I am a typical size 4, weigh 128 lbs, 34C). I may have been able to wear a regular "R" length at 5'6" but appreciated having the length so I could wear high heels. The skirt has sheer striped panels that go very high on the legs so I wore black nylons to make the illusion a little less risque... I loved the wide skirt and beautiful tailoring from the fitted waistline and hips.

Beautiful dark grey/blue dress, but tight in the sleeves/shoulders...
The material and tailoring of this is dress are beautiful. It has a soft lining, but the sheer overlay at the shoulders and sleeves is slightly scratchy and tight (and I am a smaller size...). The asymmetrical flowing skirt is very flattering. I did not wear this dress because my original choice was so much more comfortable and beautiful. The size 6 fit me well (I am 128 lbs with 34C). My normal size 4 would have been tighter, so I would advise sizing higher.

Too much material and poofy at the waist... but gorgeous color
Unfortunately, I did not wear this dress... I loved the beautiful emerald color, but the cut and tailoring at the waist was unfortunately not flattering. There is extra layering of material sewn just under the waist which makes anyone look like they have a bloated belly (even if they don't). Why would a designer add pleats and seams at the waist?? I usually wear a size 4 (at 128lbs, 34C) but this dress is cut small and the size 6 was just able to be zipped. If you choose this dress size up to a larger size (or two sizes).
