Scratchy Sequins
This dress was so pretty in person. However there is NO stretch in the torso, which made it a bit uncomfortable. Plus the sequins was very scratchy. Otherwise, it was a very nice dress.

Fun and conservative
I wore this for a late-summer wedding a few months after having my baby. It covered up all the right "trouble" areas on me. And yet the color made it super fun and stylish for the wedding. I was complimented on the color all night.

Conservative but NOT boring
I wore this dress to my husband's work party. It was conservative enough for the occasion but still felt dressy and stylish enough for a cocktail dress. It was a little constrictive in the waist but otherwise comfortable and a nice length.

Elegant and bold
The color and cut of this dress were perfect for a winter, black-tie wedding. The only complaint is that this dress is very low cut in the neckline. I have a larger bust so I felt a bit self-conscious and tried to cover up most of the night. If it were a different setting, I probably would not have minded.

Classy and Flirty
Loved this dress! Wore it for a garden party wedding. The dress is awesome because the neckline makes it flirty, while the poufy skirt, material, and print keep it classy. I did not wear a bra as there was no room for me to fit one, but I had plenty of support. The dress will arrive fairly wrinkled, a quick ironing will take care of things. LOVE that it had pockets. The print was so pretty!

Not for Petites
I'm usually a small in HL dresses. I tried both the XS and S, and the XS fit better. The straps were a little long, which was OK, because I'm a little fuller in the chest. I just don't know how a more petite person would wear this dress. I'm 5'4 and the dress was past my knees. It's a beautiful dress, just need someone with a different body than mine to reach its true potential.

Elegant yet sexy
I ordered both a small and medium. The small was too tight around my bust and gave me little bulges by my underarms. The medium fit much better. The detailing on the lace was really pretty.

Cute and Flirty!
I wore this dress for a post-bachelorette party brunch with my girlfriends. The dress was perfect. Very cute and flirty without being too sexy for brunch. I was worried the wrap design would show too much cleavage, but it was actually fairly modest. The color is a red-orange and is gorgeous. I will warn you, though, it was a little tricky to put on because of the crossed straps in the back. I did not wear a bra and if you do the same, I would suggest wearing "petals" because the material will let everyone know if you're...cold.

Figure flattering!
Very cute dress! The cut would be flattering on any shape! The color was really nice too. However, you could tell this dress has been rented often, because the material looked a little worn. I was worried the 4 would've been too big since most people said that it runs large. However, any smaller and it would've been too tight in the chest. I would've liked it to be just a little longer though. It fell about an inch above my knees. FYI, it did not come with the belt, which is fine because I think it looks better without the belt.

Snug in the right places!
In person, this dress is kelly green. I normally wear a 4, but I ordered a 0 and 2 because past reviews discuss that it's large, and because of the cut, I wasn't worried about it being too snug in my stomach and butt areas. The 0 fit better, because my waistline was lost in the 2. It was a little hard wearing a strapless bra, because the band would sometimes peak out on the left side...I think that side droops a little lower.
