Beautiful Fabric
This dress was a backup, but I tried it on anyway, just didn't wear. It fit snugly. I have a 30" waist, 41" hip and it fit well. I think I would have been conscious wearing it because it is a lovey silk fabric but it shows any stomach pooch. The fabric was gorgeous, there is a subtle stripe, almost animal print, but it is so soft.

Great Dress!
This dress was amazing! It was my backup so I didn't get to wear it, but I have another even I will order it for. I'm typically a 8-10. 10 was roomy but looked great (30" waist, 41" hip). Quality was great and I was obsessed with the sparkle.

wanted to shine and this dress delivered!
I generally wear a medium or large in formalwear, but they were out of larges. The medium fit well and was very body con; the slit was definitely higher than I would generally go with. I wound up wearing the XL because I was having a day where I didn't feel like showing off my body. It was comfortable and slightly loose, the extra length made the slit feel better as well. Overall, I loved the dress! I got a ton of compliments and it was comfortable to wear. The low back and slit felt sexy without feeling TOO sexy for me. I didn't have any itching from the sequins.

I loved this dress! So many people (including the bride) complimented me on it!
I thought it fit pretty well. I had guessed I would need a medium or large. And only the large was available. It fit close to perfectly. I was able to wear a black regular bra with it; I just pinned the straps inside.

I loved this dress! It's a fun pattern and color and hugs you in all of the right places!
I thought the dress fit true to size. It came to right above my knees and showed a little bit of cleavage but not too much. I thought that it made my waist look tiny and was just overall really flattering.

This dress was great for a party! It looked formal but allowed me to dance all night.
I loved this dress! I didn't have to wear a bra with it (pro). It had pockets so I didn't have to carry a purse (pro). And the 10 fit like a normal 10! I did wear about 3.5" heels and the hem dragged on the ground slightly. It wasn't a big deal but I did get stepped on a few times. So if you're shorter or not wearing higher heels, maybe try a petite?

I love this designer! I have gotten so many compliments each time I wear one of his dresses.
The bandage dress really hugs your curves; I'd say in a good way. It feels like the dress is tucking and lifting in all of the right ways. And it makes your butt look amazing. Seriously.

I loved this dress! The pockets made it for me!
This dress was great and fit really well. I loved that it had pockets and the plunging back added a little bit of sexy. Not to mention: SEQUINS! The only problem I had was my bra peeked at the bottom of the back. Otherwise I loved this dress and was sad to send it back.

Even at the Black and White Party this dress stood out!
I want to be married and buried in this dress; I seriously fell in love. The cut is very flattering and the skirt has a great"twirl" factor that is great for an event with dancing. I had to wear a backless bra and tape, so I'm not sure about the people who went without.

Very small bust!
I rented both the 8R and the 10L and neither fit. I wear a 34C and the 8 gaped about 4 inches in the back and the 10 about 1 inch. I was really bummed because it's a great looking dress. I would definitely go up a size or two when you're ordering. I thought that the underslip part was true to size; I could wear both the 8 and the 10, but the bust is VERY small.

Awkward banding!
I think that this dress would have been great if I could have gone a size up (they didn't have a Large left). Even though the dress zipped, the bands in the waist cut in in very unflattering ways. Once again, I think a larger size would have helped. So if you're thinking about it, even if your hips and bust will fit, the waist is how you need to order this dress.

I wore this dress to my 30th birthday party... ringing in the new decade in style!
I loved this dress! It was incredibly flattering to my figure and held everything where it should have been. I did wind up wearing spanx with it, but I really don't think you need to. It was tight but comfortable. I really loved wearing it.

This dress was great! I was the only person at the party wearing it and received many compliments!
There is an underskirt that is supposed to cover your butt and it is REALLY short. I was worried about it riding up all night; however, the tulle was thick enough that no one could really see either way. But otherwise, I loved this dress.
