Beautiful colors
Gorgeous colors and beautiful in motion. Really comfortable. The only issue was that it was very low cut, but I used tape to make sure nothing spilled out.

Comfortable and chic
Very comfortable. I got a lot of compliments. The dress was chic, fit well, and perfect for work holiday dinner. Size small technically fit because the fabric had a lot of stretch, but I thought the medium fit better, was more comfortable, and still looked great

Sparkly and cute
The dress was very cute and "Great Gatsby-esque". I received a number of compliments about how cute the dress was. It was very short and the cut or pattern on it made me look a little hippy, but it was still a really nice dress and looked good.

Gorgeous, Formal, Classy
I wore this to a work event - "black tie optional" - where I wasn't sure what to wear. This dress was the perfect compromise - I didn't feel out of place whether I was talking to people in cocktail dresses and suits or people in tuxes and ballgowns. The color was gorgeous - very small bronze, gold and silver sequins - it looked like gorgeous shimmering armor. The dress was very comfortable, although near the end of the night I noticed the sequins were starting to irritate under my arms, but it was great for the 3-4 hours before that. I wore with gold high heel shoes and gold earrings. I'm 5'8", about 145lbs, and the Medium dress fit perfectly.

Great material - glittering mermaid armor
The material is fabulous and looks amazing - lots of tiny sequins in a great pattern and I got a ton of compliments. The cut is a little odd though - I frequently wear 6 or 8, but even the 6 was very big and loose especially around the waist and hips, while the hem was oddly restrictive. The tightness of the hem may be what made the bagginess around the waist and hips more noticeable. I didn't expect anything completely form fitting based on the style and material, but based on the pictures, I thought the waist would be at least slightly defined. Instead, it was very loose (comfortable at least) around the waist and hips while being noticeably restrictive around the hem when trying to take big steps or (as I think someone else mentioned) when going to the restroom where it was almost easier to take the dress off rather than pull it up. While I think a 4 might have been a better fit everywhere else (especially in the waist), I don't know if I could have been comfortable with a tighter hem as the 6 was already a little annoying. Still - gorgeous material, sequins, pattern - I got a ton of compliments. I wore it with a light black jacket when it was cold, gold heels, gold bracelet and earrings. Great dress!

Gorgeous color, fun cut
The cut and half cape is a lot of fun and the color is gorgeous. The 6 fit but was difficult to zip up on its own and felt just a tad too snug in the chest- since I was going to be celebrating, eating, and dancing at a wedding party, I ended up not wearing this one, but a backup size 8 that was more comfortable.

Great color
The bright apple green was beautiful and really stood out. The material and cut were perfect for an outdoor early evening wedding in Arizona (temps upper 70s, low 80s). The top part with the boning was a bit tight, but manageable.

Beautiful color - unworn
These ended up not working with the dress I had to wear and were a little too heavy for my ears anyway - your mileage may vary. Gorgeous color and construction though.

Runs Small, Gorgeous Color
I read another review that said this dress ran large, when I think it actually runs small. While the 6 technically fit, it looked and felt uncomfortably and unflatteringly tight across the hips, perfect at the waist, but it was a bit loose on top. Because of reviews, I ordered the 4 as backup when I wish I'd tried the 8, although the 8 might have been fine on the bottom, tiny bit loose on waist, and way too loose on top based on my experience with the 6. It didn't arrive in time to order an overnight replacement (shipped to my parents' house the day before wedding, I arrived day of wedding), so I just wore my own backup dress. Just be aware, while it is form fitting - which I love - it is not a "stretchy" form fitting so I think you have to have the exact right "form" for it to "fit"

Elegant and comfortable
The dress was classic, very comfortable, and perfect for a formal wedding. It was a little loose on the side that didn't have the shoulder-sleeve and hung down a bit more than I would have liked, but it worked out fine. I really loved how comfortable it was and how easy it was to move in.

These bracelets were included free of charge after my original dress was damaged and unavailable for my event. They were comfortable, golden and shiny, and matched my replacement dress perfectly. Loved them!

Gorgeous color!
The dress is beautiful and was perfect for a beach wedding. The material was a little heavy, but still perfect. There was some dirt/damage along the back hem. The same was true of the 4R - my backup dress - I assume this was from when it was too long for other people who wore it. It wasn't noticeable unless you were very close and looking directly at the hem though. I am 5'8", wore 3 inch wedges and the 6R was still long enough. The 4R also fit but was a tad shorter and a bit tight around the top so I went with the 6R instead. Simply gorgeous color, very comfortable (I wasn't yanking it up all evening), and I got many compliments on my dress.

Loved this dress.
This dress fit well and was a gorgeous color. There were a few snags and a small tear in the netting/lace on the bodice, but ti wasn't obvious unless you were up close and staring right at it. Lovely.
