This dress was very pretty and looks just it does in the photo. It was very roomy in the chest though. I normally wear these types of dresses without anything underneath but had to put on a bra (that, thankfully, just made it look like the sheath underneath had straps). The crepe fabric in the back had gotten stretched out and didn't lay flat on my back. I'll also flag that the top won't hang well if you have a high waist/short torso.

Wore this to a wedding and it was very comfortable and fun for dancing. The model in the photo must be very tall because the opaque skirt layer underneath went nearly to my knees (5'5") and was thus a bit more modest than the stock photo. It runs slightly small so go get your backup in the size smaller than you normally wear.

I wore this dress to a winter wedding with a strapless bra, which happened to fit perfectly under one of the straps in the back. I like the unique style and pockets and I got tons of compliments that night. Only cons were 1) the thin black thread that makes the textured pattern was fraying off (old dress?), and 2) the size 2 fit more like a 4 (but the 0 fit like a 0 so I was in between sizes).

Stretchy material. Definitely can't wear a bra unless it's a stick-on. I'm a 30C and the fabric was thick/stretchy enough to keep the girls from swinging around too much.

I loved this dress, got tons of compliments, and would have gone in search of it to buy for my permanent wardrobe EXCEPT the high neck line was incredibly annoying. I have a small neck and still felt like I was being subtly choked all night and had to get a friend to zip me out the second we were in the car. Would consider wearing again for something short like a shower or a rehearsal dinner, but definitely not a whole wedding/reception.

This dress was great and fit true to size except for the tight, no-stretch sleeves: athletes beware. Fabric felt high-quality and was stretchy enough to hug curves, but thick enough to hide bra lines. The color was slightly bolder in person than in the photos. I dressed it down with cowboy boots and an orange Pashmina for a casual/rainy wedding and it was the perfect fall combination.
