Several times people sought me out to compliment me on the dress.
I am five foot seven, and with my three and a half inch heels, it looked like it had been hemmed especially for me as the hem just brushed the ground. The fit is very forgiving and hides the little bit of tummy that I had. I did not wear a bra and did not feel that I needed one as the lining and structure of the dress held me up. The center of the bodice allows for a little peekaboo, but it is very classy. The green color is quite striking and will make you stand out if that is what you are looking for.

Dress was pretty, but not as full as anticipated
This dress was my first choice for a formal event, but I didn't manage to get it reserved in time for my event, so I ordered a larger size of this as a backup to my 2nd choice dress. I did not end up wearing it as it was too large, but I ended up liking the other dress I ordered in its place better anyway. The fabric is pretty thin on this dress and I think my larger chest would have been unsupported without a pretty good strapless bra. The dress is beautiful, but will need some steaming when it arrives! I really like the high-low hemline to show off the shoes.

Beautiful color, flattering fit, and it has pockets!
This dress has an interior bra and is fully lined, giving it plenty of support even with a large chest. The dress has tulle under the skirt to ensure that the skirt has fullness, and there are pockets on both sides that are invisible, yet very handy. I am 5'7" tall and love heels so I ordered the long instead of the regular, which was perfect. With Badgley Mischka 4 1/2" platform heels, the 8L dress met the floor at exactly the right spot. As far as looks of the dress went - I received compliments all night, and nearly 2 weeks later am still receiving compliments on my dress. Many guests I knew at the event reported that they were asked who I was by those who didn't know me at this event because the dress made me stand out amongst the crowd. I would definitely recommend this dress to anyone wanting to make a statement. However, you will need a steamer or time to get it to the cleaner to have it steamed because shipping causes quite a bit of wrinkling in the skirt that needs tending to.

Beautiful, comfortable and flattering!
This gown is very comfortable - there is stretch to the fabric and the ruching at the midsection takes attention away from any trouble spots there. Loved the small train. Never had to pull the dress up even though it was strapless. Compliments were flowing all night.

Stunning dress that is eye-catching!
I wore this to a company Christmas party and received compliments all night. The ruching in the midsection camouflages all the trouble spots while being super flattering. I do have a larger chest, and there was more than enough room in the bust and a little extra as well. The dress is heavy, which surprised me, but the weight made sure the draping in the ruching and pleating remained beautiful. Many of those attending instructed me to purchase the dress when they found out it was a rental!

Runs a bit large in waist, but top is perfect fit for Full Bust.
I am large-busted and the fit there was fine, but the waist runs large. I didn't realize it had pockets, which was a pleasant surprise.

I received so many compliments on this dress that I lost count!
The color of this dress is gorgeous! The fabric accent on the shoulder was annoying at first, but I soon forgot all about it. The ruching on the dress makes for a very flattering cut.

The Roksanda Ilincic Gown was the hit of the party - but not thanks to the reveal bra.
These provided absolutely no support and were impossible to apply without wrinkles forming. Once on, the wrinkles looked terrible through the dress and you could still see the nipple protruding - I actually ended up not being able to use them under the shiny silk dress I intended to wear with them. I am a 34C.
I was told that I had "the" dress of the charity ball (500 guests)-I felt like the belle of the ball
Runs very small and short. The elastic waist looked a little informal for the fabric and style of the gown so I purchased a belt to cover it. There is absolutely no give to the fabric, so make sure you consult with a fit expert prior to reserving the gown - however, the bust has some room for adjustment based on how tightly you tie the back closed. The fabric also shows every little bump and bubble, so Spanx are pretty necessary and the petals I used were inadequate on the bust. That being said, I got rave reviews all evening for the gown and was told by more than one woman (strangers to me) that I had the best dress of the evening. I truly felt like the belle of the ball!!!!!
