Frumpy and Unflattering
The fit on this dress was very strange. I'm not very busty, but I had to go up two sizes to get it to zip. The shoulder draped awkwardly and the bottom was huge and poofy (not like the picture at all).

Short, but Cute
The dress was comfortable and fit well, but it was VERY short on me. I was tugging at the bottom all evening to make sure my booty wasn't hanging out. Forget about bending over.

Gorgeous Dress for a Summer Wedding
This dress was beautiful and (more importantly) insanely comfortable. The fabric might be a little too thin for any season other than summer, but the dress is a winner.

Lots of Compliments
I didn't order this dress, but received it because another dress was out of stock. Luckily, this one was a winner. It's comfortable, cute, and the pink liner is fun. It did fall closer to my ankles than it does on the model, so short women may want to watch out.

True to Size, I Guess
I'm pear-shaped, so the medium was too snug in the hips and the large was too big in the bust. I managed to wear the large with the help of an adhesive bra and some body tape.

Ridiculous Fit
My measurements are 34-28-38. I ordered my normal size (6) and a size up (8) for my backup, and couldn't get either to zip over my waist. Meanwhile, it was draping off my shoulders and approximately the width of a car at the bottom. It also fell at an awkward length between tea and floor. The fabric was nice and I'm sure this dress might work for someone, but not me.

Awesome Color, Cuter in Person
I wasn't 100% sold on this dress (I don't generally like things that look knitted), but the color looked interesting so I gave it a shot. It's way more flattering in person than in the image.

Perfect Dress for Valentine's Day
Wore this out to dinner in the cold and the two layers kept me fairly warm. I didn't run into the issue other reviewers did with the slip being too small; both it and the dress were the perfect size. Fabric was a little loose at the chest, probably from bustier women wearing the dress, but it wasn't a big enough problem to worry about. Dress was flattering and I recommend it.

Small, great-looking clutch
It only held some cash, my driver's license, and my phone, but I received compliments on it all night. It looks great with the chain out and wrapped loosely around the wrist.

Gorgeous dress
I was hesitant to wear a knee-length dress because they have a tendency to ride up. This one didn't! The only downside was that the dress is not designed to accommodate much butt. I normally wear a 2-4 and had to get an 8 to fit my bottom. This made the top looser than I'd have liked, but the way the dress falls on the shoulders made it so nobody would notice.

Runs SMALL
I listened to reviews that said this dress runs small and ordered a size up. Unfortunately, it was STILL too small. The dress was gorgeous, but it wouldn't zip all the way so I had to wear a backup.
