Super cute, but tight in the hips
I did not end up wearing these - I wear a size 8 have big hips/thighs and the M was too snug. The fabric is surprisingly flattering put does pull if the shorts are too snug

Cute and comfy dress - flattering and edgy, perfect for summer
Loved this dress. It was a little tight in the bust and the collar did weird things as a result. I flipped back the collar and got used to the fit.

Cute dress but not wearable for busty girls
This dress was so cute, it made me sad that the top didn't work out. I was literally busting out of it. The size 6 fit everywhere else.

Retro sexy, just watch the lace
Fit like a glove, hugged and squeezed in all the right places and was a lot more flattering than I thought it would be. Has a high quality, thick lining but still good to wear some shapewear underneath so things lie smoothly. I didn't need a bra and wear a 34DD. Watch the lace, I was worried I was going to rip a hole in it getting it on and off, especially during bathroom breaks.

Super fun for a summer BBQ party or hot date
Great dress - I usually wear either a 6 or an 8 and risked the 6. It fit perfectly but there was a little bit of pulling around the boob area, the buttons are real. Wore to a wedding rehearsal dinner / BBQ event and I'm seriously considering buying this dress. It was really flattering and I got tons of compliments.

Bold colors, classic fit
This dress was tight and stretchy, a little dicey in the boob support department but I'm a DD and made it work with some adhesive petals and a double knot on the straps. You may want to consider shape wear under the dress as it is very form fitting. Got lots of compliments, it was perfect for an outdoor wedding with cocktail attire.

Fun and different, maybe not flattering on curvier body types
I wasn't sure about this dress the first time I put it on. I went with a 6 based on other reviews. I usually wear between a 6 or an 8, depending on fit, but I wanted to make sure it was snug enough to keep my boobs in place without a bra. It *barely* fit and I was self conscious about the straps and open back -- they wing out a little bit and I was worried that meant that I should have sized up, or that I'd have some sexy back-fat-roll action when I sat down. It's also confusing to get on and the zipper wasn't being super cooperative, but some elbow grease and deep inhales did the trick. Once I got everything in place and adjusted, though, the dress wore really beautifully and was really comfortable, even for a mostly-seated rehearsal dinner. The high/low is fun and makes this dress really versatile - you can dress it up or down depending on accessories. And it has pockets! I love pockets. I got a lot of compliments and the cutout back is pretty sexy. The silk material is thick and is very forgiving of tummy pooch and/or food babies. Make sure you check your true waist measurements though to avoid a potential back fat muffin top.

Glamorous, romantic, fits like a glove
I wore this to a formal wedding in Copenhagen - WOW! What a stunner. The dress hangs really beautifully and the gold overlay isn't too itchy, even after wearing the dress for 12+ hours. I'm 5'7'' and did the 6R - it was almost too short with 2.5 inch heels, so if you're tall you probably want to try the long. The bra situation is a little tricky as the cut is a little low in the back for a normal strapless, and it's pretty difficult to zip yourself into it so you'll need someone to help you get it in on and off. I was skeptical the rental price was going to be worth it, but it 100% was. It looks fantastic with fur, so would be a good choice for a winter gala or formal event.

Wore this for a gorgeous outdoor wedding by the ocean on Tilghman Island, MD
I want to live in this dress. Seriously. I was worried about the bust because it has a very deep plunge in both the front and back and there's no way to wear a bra with it, but the 6 fit perfectly and revealed just the right amount of cleavage. It has POCKETS, which makes it great for a wedding because you can store cell phone and lipstick discreetly, and the skirt is full and very flattering. This would be a great dress for someone who wants a curvaceous look but doesn't want to wear anything too clingy. I strongly recommend dress tape to keep the straps and bust in place. It's pretty secure, but the straps were slipping a bit on my shoulders before I taped them down and you want to make sure that you can dance the night away without worrying about wardrobe malfunctions. This gorgeous dress was made to twirl on the dance floor -- the movement is so pretty and the tea-cut adds flirty elegance. Now, I'm off to find this dress to buy....

I wore this for my 29th birthday party - cocktail hour / dinner at my favorite bar downtown
This dress is BEAUTIFUL and tastefully sexy. A few caveats: it runs big everywhere but the bust, so if you've got a narrow waist and huge boobs, 1) get it, girl, and 2) you'll want a demi-cut bra that you don't mind peek-a-booing out a little bit. I wore a black lace bra underneath and it blended in fine. The skirt is short, but has some movement to it and definitely covers everything you need covered.
