Keyhole back didn't work with my bra
This dress has a dramatic design but the keyhole back wasn't noted in the description and I couldn't wear it with a bra. I was traveling so I didn't have any other options to adapt my undergarments. Aside from that I think this dress would be best suited for a true hour glass because the waist is quite fitted and if it's too tight then the fabric up top would billow funny. To sum it up, pick this as a back up to see if the style works for you but don't hold your breath.

Wow wow wow! Perfect dress for a theme party or night out on the town.
Absolutely loved this dress. It was an emergency back-up sent straight to my hotel for a Rat Pack/60's themed Supper Club party. It has a great flared sheath cut making it roomy and the skirt length adds some drama too. (I'm just shy of 5'8". Another plus for me is that it looked good with kitten heels so I was able to mingle around the party and my feet didn't suffer. I just wish I had shown the bell sleeves better for this pic!

Great for long-legged skinny Minnie
Ugh, not flattering on my size or build at all. My sweet hubby got a pleasant little silent smile and I said "awful isn't it?" He said "Sorry". It had the illusion of making me look about 4 inches shorter and a foot wider. I have a slightly high waist but long torso so I think that's the primary problem BUT... Christina helped me by phone and a different dress better suited for my build is already on the way in time for my event this weekend!

Nice bohemian style dress that feels sexy
Runs a little small and the length is borderline short for my comfort in a work environment but it's beautiful and versatile. I could easily see wearing this for a poolside cocktail or for evening wear at a resort.

A dramatic and flattering fit. I had 3 compliments within minutes of walking into the party
The cut of the dress easily hides flaws while still looking slim. The peek a boo sleeves make the dress fun and flirty but still business appropriate. Loved the dramatic colors and the silk is smooth and a nice mid-weight. Also liked the built in slip that deterred static.
