Comfortable and elegant
I wore this to a recent black tie event. It was gorgeous on, and the slit combined with the sweetheart neckline and lace are so flattering. My true size (6L) was unavailable, so I made the 8R work. It was definitely too short for my height and the heels I wore, but not as bad as others I had tried. So, I’d say the regular runs a little long. The bodice was a little big even for an 8, so I think it has stretched out some from frequent wear. I used lots of tape to keep it from gaping and slipping! The inner skirt did ride up after sitting but it wasn’t that big of a deal. Overall, I was very happy with this dress! If I had been able to rent my correct size, I probably would have kept it for future events.

So classy!
I didn't know how I'd feel about this dress, but once I put it on I loved it! It's comfortable and can be worn with a regular bra. The sleeves are great for chilly weather (I wore it for NYE and didn't need to check a coat!). The skirt fabric is gorgeous. The dress does run large and long. The 4 fit like a glove, like how a 6 normally would, and the skirt could drape on the ground if not for heels. (It didn't for me, but I'm 5'11" and wore 3-inch heels.) I loved it so much I bought it!

I really liked this dress. The 4 was snug but fit in the body, however the arms were short for me.

Short!
As others mentioned, this jumpsuit is cute but runs small. The Large may have worked but was unavailable so I tried the Medium. It was too short and tight to wear, unfortunately. I really liked the dark navy color though!

Eye-catching piece!
The weight of this necklace is reasonable--not too heavy or light. And the style is unique and eye-catching. It's a good mix of sparkly and gold!

Gorgeous dress but not flattering to me
I didn't end up wearing this for the event because it fit only "ok." It was a bit snug around my middle and I'm a fairly slender person, so maybe it runs a little small? The color is vibrant and style is pretty, but it just wasn't flattering to my not-curvy body.

So flattering!
Loved the fit of this dress! I wore a bralette under to feel more comfortable with the deep neckline. The print and material are stunning. Buying this dress to keep!
