I know some others may not have loved this dress, but I did! It was just what I needed and envisioned for the gala I was attending. I wanted something with some glam, to stand out, but not too much! This was elegant and fit in all the right places for me. After having 2 kids in 3 years and breastfeeding both, my chest size has changed and some other reviewers said they had issues with their chest not fitting in this dress. I am supposedly a 34D, according to my bra, but I think after this second child I’ve shrunken down into a 34C. Because of that, I was able to wear a strapless bra with this dress! I guess the one I had just happen to fit very nicely into this dress and not show at all. I used some fashion tape around the edges especially on the back side to keep the dress from sliding down and exposing a tiny bit of my strapless bra. The tape made it stick all night. So the long was a nice length. I didn’t wear my highest heels because I think it could have been even longer, but I found some that were just the right height. The sequins made me shine, but they are kind of matte sequins so they aren’t blingy or bright and sparkly. Yes the dress did start to get scratchy under my arm pits by the very end of the night, we are talking 2AM and beyond. I was able to go to the gala and then even out to bars afterward with friends. It was easy to sit and dance around in. Got tons of compliments! Got a 6L as my backup. Ending up wearing my actual size.

Wonderful dress choice. Wore this to a wedding rehearsal dinner. LOVED that it has pockets! Can be worn with or without a bra, strapless or regular, depending. I just wore some of those padded stickies (I have small chest) and they fit right in and didn't slide anywhere the whole night.The color is so vibrant. I would definitely buy this dress, or rent it again! Great go to look for a wedding. Just remember, it does need a statement necklace to add some oomph. That's how I accessorized.

Great great great choice. Wanted something that was fashion-forward, bright and fun, but not too showy because I was wearing it to an outdoor wedding. Also, I wanted something that still was a little sassy, but ladylike yet, airy enough for a hot summer evening. This dress had all those things and more! The color looked great on my skin, and I received so many compliments. Only thing, I would suggest wearing the size smaller than you normally wear. I should have gone with the XS because as the night went on, the dress began to get baggier. I recommend this dress and would buy it and/or wear it again and again.
