Nice dress, understated
The arm band thing was a little weird but overall good dress and comfortable.

Delicate, beautiful and stunning dress
Another dress that is so much prettier in person. I have never had more compliments on a dress before in my life. The detail on this dress is amazing. As other reviews say, there is no give to this dress so if you have large arms or if you are pear shaped, you might want to size up. The 12 fit comfortably but looked a little too boxy so I wore the 10. It was snug on my chest but not uncomfortable. This is definitely not a "figure flattering" dress since it is a shift so do not expect to highlight your curves. Curves are not necessary though, since this dress is so beautiful in person. Appropriate for an event where you need to be a little modest but still want to "wow" everyone in the room. I would have kept this dress if I could, totally recommend it!

Absolutely Beautiful. Perfect for a curvy girl!
This dress is much prettier and lacier in person. It is a little challenging for a large busted girl but looks fabulous if you can handle adjusting all night (totally worth it). I wore a one piece spanx type shaper with an underwire strapless top. You could wear a black bra but it takes away from the delicate way the sleeves fall. They are not really cap sleeve but more of an off the shoulder fit. I am short (5'2") and I was able to wear this with low heels and the length was perfect.

Stunning dress - very sexy but not too revealing
First thing about this dress is that it is probably better for busty girls. I am a true size 14 but have trouble with the top of most dresses. Some of the other reviews said it ran large in the bust and it fit me perfect (I am a DD). Being so busty I don't wear strapless often but this stayed in place and showed just the right amount. I did not need a strapless bra or tape of any kind. I am very hourglass shaped and this dress really accentuated it. It reminded me of Jessica Rabbit, which was not the look I was going for so I wore my first choice dress. If I was looking to stand out and be noticed, I would definitely rent this dress again. The color is beautiful and the ruffles and draping hide some belly flaws. Great dress for the shapely & sexy girl.

Beautiful, elegant and very flattering
This is an amazing dress, sexy but also conservative. I was a little worried about the size because I am a true 14 in dresses but based on the reviews I gave it a try. It fit perfectly even in the bust which is my largest area. I wore pretty high shoes and the dress just barely touched the ground but it looked elegant - taller girls should wear lower heels. The draping on the hips makes for a very hour glass appearance, since I am already pretty shapely I was worried but it looked great. There is a weird seam design across the bust but it was not really a big deal. I would suggest black undergarments because with a beige bra it does not pass the camera flash test. Overall I was so happy with this dress and it was the most comfortable thing I have ever worn to a formal affair - no self tanner needed! Great dress for shapely girls!

Beautiful Dress but I returned
This dress is overall really beautiful. It is the perfect color red and the draping is gorgeous. I am very large chested (DD) and based on some of the other reviews I thought I would give it a try. I am usually a 14 but a few other reviews said it ran large especially in the bust area. The dress was way too tight in the chest area but fit fine everywhere else. I am 5'2" but rented the 12L because some review said curvier girls should get the long. It was good advice because it would have been a great length with heels but not stilettos. I was really disappointed because the dress is beautiful and just the right amount of sexy. The material and bodice boning really flatter curves. I would say if you are a size 36C this dress is perfect, if you are a 36D its worth a shot but have a back up plan.
