Stunning and dramatic. Be prepared to turn heads.
Fit is a bit loose. I often size up for European designers. Do not do that for this dress. Consider sizing down. You will absolutely need fashion tape to keep the deep front plunge in place and prevent constant flashing of your breasts.

eye catching color and pattern.
This is a beautiful top. It is very low cut so be aware. I used a tiny pin to keep it closed a bit more. It was still fairly revealing, but the pin made it wearable.

Cute, easy, summer dress
Yes, it does gap at the waist if you pull the ribbon behind you to tie (which is admittedly, a major design flaw). However, you can also tie it in front, which solves the problem. Still pulls the waist in for a nice silhouette, and no gap. Problem solved. Lots of compliments when wearing this.

Odd Fit
Beautiful color and fabric. I really wish this would have worked, but it was an awkward fit. Snug (but still fit) around the chest, but then very large in the waist, even after using the drawstring to cinch it tight. Also it was very high waisted, so the waist hit more around mid-rib cage, and then was much too lose and flowing around the natural waist. It was almost like a very odd empire waist sort of fit. Not flattering on me. I sent it right back.

gorgeous and unique
I am so in love with this dress. Size up as Saloni always runs small. The 4 worked on me, but I could easily have worn a 6 as well. It is very fitted through the chest, ribs, and waist, with more room at the hips since the skirt flares a bit. It wasn't clear to me from the pictures, but the sleeves are actually lace, which is a beautiful touch. It was fairly short on my 5'5" frame so if you are much taller you may want tights depending on your comfort level.

Comfortable and beautiful. Can go work to night out easily.
Good for all seasons. I worn this twice. Once with tights and a thin, tight, long sleeve black top underneath (a thin turtleneck would be cute too) when it was cold out. Then once, just on it's own on a warmer day. Easily transitions day to night. Swap tights for sassy fishnet or patterned stockings and add some jewelry and higher heels. Also, very comfortable to wear. The fabric is thick with some mild stretch so it is flattering. The 2 was fine, but given the stretch, I could have gone down a size and been ok as well.

Runs large
I love the backless element of the dress. It does run large, I wish I had gotten an XS, but I made the Small work by tying the waist tight. Unique micro pleat collar adds a fun twist.

cute summer dress
It can be low-cut, the snap on the top helped with that, but coupled with the shorter length - definitely not a work dress. But great for casual summer wear and it transitions well going into fall because of the navy and darker colors. Nice silk fabric, very comfortable to wear.

Unique and standout dress!
Fit very true to size, I'd go up a size if you are between sizes or unsure as the dress has no stretch of give. Very fitted at waist and chest, but loose and forgiving through butt and thighs.It's a fun dress to wear. I love the "spiderweb" open weave element at the hem and back.

Comfortable and glamorous
I wore this for a black tie wedding. It was perfect. The slit in the front in fairly high and the back is pretty revealing but it worked for this event. It might be too much if you're event is more conservative. The dress had a small amount of give (not exactly "stretch") that helped make it easy to move in and comfortable to wear 7+ hours.

Adorable daytime purse
Perfect for daytime wedding. But it's tiny. Can fit a few cards, lip gloss, keys inside and iPhone 6 in outside pocket. Nothing else would fit- No sunglasses or hair clip or extra makeup. Also, the bag is heavy for being so small, and you can not remove the strap. But I would still get it again

Flattering for hourglass shape
So fun to wear to a modern dance performance on a Saturday night. I loved the heavy satin feel of the fabric, but be warned, it could be too warm if it's in the middle of summer or you're out in the sun. Fabric has a sheen to it, which makes it a bit more dressy. Really not a daytime dress unless it's a fairly formal occasion. Fit like a glove and the swishy semi-mermaid bottom was fun.

Lightweight cotton for hot days
I wasn't sure about this at first but ended up really liking it for casual summer daytime wear. It's very lightweight unlined cotton, which was good for hot summer days in the south. Cute small floral pattern. Seemed to run a little big. I would get a 2 next time.

Great for a daytime wedding. The dress is such a beautiful pale green with same color lace and lining. Just above knee length on 5'5". Nice open back detail that is not too revealing and still appropriate for a church wedding and daytime reception. Dress has pockets!

Cream background with navy and lavender as the prominent colors in the pattern. Smaller amounts of sea foam green and red/orange.

Fitted and flattering while still having a flowing feel
Beautiful silk fabric. Great high/low hem that was perfect with 3 inch heels. Fitted around rib cage and waist so it shows off a nice shape while still having the drapey top that is on trend right now. I would definitely rent again. Could work for day or night

Great pale, mint green color. Nice high quality fabric that hangs nicely and keeps its shape. I love the back cut out. You can still wear a standard bra, which is nice. Perfect length on me, short enough to be flirty but not overtly sexual.

sexy off the shoulder was very fun for a party
I love the colors in this - the navy background looks great with the turquoise leaves. The fabric is of very high quality and hangs nicely, keeps its shape. The slightly off-the-shoulder look was fun and flirty, just FYI - this element does restrict arm movement somewhat. I could still use my arms but couldn't raise them up over my head. So maybe not a good choice if you're going out dancing. Other than that - great dress and lots of compliments.

Classy and sexy evening look
Both the 40 and the 42 fit, but I went with the 42 b/c it was not quite a tight (but still shows off your figure) which looked a little classier for a formal affair. Regular length was great for me (5'5" and I wore about 3.5 inch heels, no platform)

Loose fit through the body, but not so loose that it just hangs. Flattering cut. A little shorter in the length which I thought was a nice balance for the loose fit. Beautiful fabric, has a slight satin finish to it. Could easily dress it up for night or down for day.

Very cute for daytime or work.
Great fit, true to size. It is a very flattering fit. If you aren't too tall, the dress is long enough to wear to an office. The waist has some give some elastic so the fit is a bit more flexible. The navy and red together are a great color combination.

Runs very large. Order a size down.
Runs very large. I am generally somewhere between a 2 or 4 and in this dress, the 2 was still too big. Also, it has more of an empire waist (rather than fit and flare which is what I was hoping for). The waist hit high on my rib cage and flared out from there. It looked akward. The fabric and colors were beautiful and I loved the open back with the large crossed straps.

Very short and runs large
Cute print, but it was darker than the picture indicated and I think it would be better for fall. The dress in a US 4 was very loose, but also very short. I would not want to order a small one for fear of it being even shorter. If you are shorter that 5'5" or looking for something very short than this would be cute on you.

Regular length was too long, even with heels.
Beautiful fabric with a flattering line. Best for small busts, I'm a 30D or DD and it was too small in chest even with no bra. It was also too long. I ordered the Regular length and it was still too long with wedge heels for 5'5".

Unique, high quality, flattering
Order a size (or 2 up). The European sizes are tiny, and this particular dress has a very very small waist. I squeezed into this but next time would get the 6 (I'm typically a 2/4). The micro pleats are beautiful and hold their shape. I loved the touches of red in the dress as a pop of color. Lots of compliments
