Endless compliments!
I wore this dress with silver heels to a work Christmas party and the compliments were unreal! I had a baby 5 months ago and I'm not completely back to my regular size (mostly in my hips and thighs) so I ordered my current regular size and one size larger and ended up wearing my current regular size. I had a little room left in the chest (thinking a B cup would fill this out perfectly) and the arms fit just right but I could see it being too tight if I had a large chest or bigger arms. It was also slightly longer on me than the model - it came just below my knees. It did a great job of hiding my post-baby weight in my hips though!

Perfect for a formal Holiday party!
I am honestly contemplating purchasing this dress, I loved it so much! I wore it to a formal Holiday party and the length was perfect for a work affair (it came down to my knees but has side slits on both sides) with the feathers adding a bit of fun to the dress. I already know I wear a 2 in Tibi (I'm usually a size 0 in everything else) and it was a perfect fit. I think the 0 would have been too tight on my hips. I'm smaller on top and I could see needing to size up as another reviewer noted if you have a larger chest or broader shoulders. If you don't know your Tibi size and you're not too large on top, I would recommend ordering your normal size and a size up.

Cute but not my favorite
This was sent as a back-up for a dress that unfortunately ended up not being available the day of my event and the 2 was too large. I think the 0 would have been a perfect fit but I wasn't a huge fan of the slightly itchy material. A nude strapless bra would be perfect with this dress.

too large on top
This dress was sent as a back-up for a dress that unfortunately ended up not being available the day of my event and while the dress was really cute (would probably be better for a fall/winter event), the 2 was way too large on the top for someone with my body type to wear. It didn't quite fit my waist either so I would have definitely needed to size down but even then, I don't thing a 0 would have fit better on top. The back is really cute and if you're not comfortable going sans bra, a backless bra would probably be the best to wear with it.

Perfect black tie dress
I wore this to a black tie fundraiser and I was complimented on it all night. I'm normally a size 2 and ordered a 4 as my back-up but didn't even need to try it on because the 2 fit like a glove! I do wish I had ordered a tall since I wore 4" heels but since it's a high/low dress, it honestly wasn't noticable. The weight of the black fabric is a heavier fabric, which was great for a March event, but if it was a summer event, I would probably choose something lighter weight. Also, at the end of the night, the arm holes of the sheer fabric started to irritate my skin where it was rubbing but I didn't see any irritation until I took the dress off and it didn't even bother me until the drive home. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this dress!

Nothing but compliments all night
I was a little nervous ordering this dress since my back-up size was unavailable but was so glad I went for it! I don't think I have ever received more compliments on something I've worn. Strangers were pulling me aside all night to let me know how much they loved the dress and even the day after, people remembered it. I will note that as some others have mentioned, it is really long and you definitely need a sticky bra on hand for this dress (or you can honestly forego a bra altogether) . I wore 3.5" heels with this dress, which made it the perfect length.
