Danced all night
Even though I ended up wearing the 4, I would still say this is true to size because the 2 fit me. For some reason the 4 was longer, even though they were both regular length. Maybe because it was a little looser on my body. It still looked amazing, especially moving on the dance floor. I would say get the long if you are 5'5" or taller with the shoes you're going to wear. Overall, I had an amazing night in a beautiful dress!

Stunning, but short
I loved this dress and wanted to wear it. It fit perfectly true to size everywhere except the length. I am 5'4" and it barely touched the ground without shoes. With heels, it just looked ridiculous. Thank goodness I had another dress wear. So I would get the long length if you are taller than 5'4" with the shoes you plan to wear. Otherwise it was beautiful, and would've been fun to wear.

Glamorous
These earrings are pretty big, and a little heavy, but not too bad. They are very sparkly and eye catching. Definitely made a statement!

Sexy and cute
This dress fit true to size but runs a little large. I am a size 2 and the xs fit my waist but was a bit long and the straps were almost too long as well. I wore a nubra because the back is too low for a regular bra. Definitely shows off your assets!

Lower cut than it looks. I have a larger chest and there was a lot of cleavage. But totally loved it, fit perfectly! Very comfy and flattering!

Cool and edgy
Fit well, but definitely for those who want to show off their figure. Cool dress, but itchy under the arms.

Fit true to size. Love the bright purple color and pleated skirt. Was a little tricky with the fabric rumpling near the cut outs. Spent all night dancing!

Wonderful dress!
I wore this to a country club christmas party and felt great. It fit true to size, I wore my usual size 2. It is a rather full skirt, which I liked for concealing my stomach. It is also rather low cut, so it may not be appropriate for bigger busted women going to a conservative event. It is a thick fabric with some sparkle, so probably better suited to the fall and winter.

My Little Secret Dress
Shoshanna
Size Worn: 2
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"

Not a great fit
I ordered this dress in a 38 and a 40 for a Christmas party. I am almost always a size 2, but I couldn't even get the 38 over my butt (I am petite, but somewhat curvy). The 40 fit, but was a tad big and i would have had to tape the side above my chest to prevent my bra from showing. It was a little loose in the waist and kind of poofed in the stomach area. Not so flattering. This dress is advertised as platinum, yet the pictures show it as light brown. In real life it is pinkish.

Lovely dress, but didn't end up wearing it
This dress was beautiful, but I am rather large chested for my body and did not feel secure in this dress wearing a sticky bra. I didn't wear it for fear of wardrobe malfunction, but it would probably work well for smaller chested ladies.

All the compliments!
I wore this beautiful dress to a June wedding. I got a lot of compliments on the amazing color and lovely fabric. The zipper did tend to slide down in the back but nothing s safety pin couldn't fix. It also scrunched up in the front below the bust. Runs true to size as I am usually a 2 and the XS fit well and was a good length for my 5' 4" frame.

beautiful dress
I wore this dress for my boyfriend's fraternity formal. It was beautiful and I got a lot of compliments. SIZE DOWN FOR THE BACKUP! I am almost always a size 2 so it's a good thing i ordered a 0 also, because even the 0 was a tiny bit big. It is extremely difficult to wear a bra with this dress because of the cutouts. Even the stick-on nubra showed a little bit. However I am fairly large on top for my size and though I was a little nervous about it I made it through the night without a nip slip or any problems. I'm on the shorter side so it was a bit longer on me than I hoped but it still looked great. It's not exactly what I would call modest, as it's pretty low cut in addition to the cut-outs, but I loved it.

This dress was a little loose and big. It is silky and very comfortable. The wrap makes it easily adjustable. The ruffle neck is very pretty but tape is needed to prevent a wardrobe malfunction. It's a rich green color and it was a fun casual and pretty dress.

I loved this dress. It looks even better in person and fits great. The ruffle detail on the shoulder really makes it stand out, in addition to the vibrant bright blue hue. I wore an XS and the chest was a little hard to zip with my C cups in a strapless bra, but it looked great once on. It was the perfect lenght for me, but a tall girl may have an issue. It also has pockets, but they are slim and hidden so it doesn't look silly. The only complaint I have is that it was extremely staticy. If I had worn it straight out of the bag I would have gotten shocked all night.
