Beautiful dress, terrible design
Who is this dress designed for??? I guess if you're tall, skinny and don't need to wear a bra, then you can pull off this dress. The fabric is gorgeous, but the design is poor. If you have a full bust and wide hips like me, it will hug your body in the most unflattering way. It also accentuated my belly. The final straw was the fact that the slip underneath was too short!! So the bottom half of the dress is see-through. Big fail.

Not the most flattering
This is a difficult dress to pull off. While it is stretchy and pretty comfortable, the fabric is unforgiving and shows every lump and bump. The neckline was way too low-cut, and if you're bigger on top, it's pretty revealing. I also thought the gray color was blah and nothing special. This was a fail for me.

I took a risk and it didn't pay off....
Yikes, this dress was NOT for me! From the waist down, it's a very cute design, and if it was just a skirt, I would say it's pretty and flattering. However, the top did not fit at all- it was too loose and offered zero support. If you have a bigger bust like me, this dress probably won't work for you. And the color was awful!! I have pale skin with yellow undertones, but this particular shade of olive was not flattering. I will say that the dress is well made and the fabric is nice with a bit of stretch, but only a certain body type will look good in this dress.

Sext body con dress!
Wow- if you wanna impress someone, this is the dress for you! However, keep in mind that it is VERY tight and leaves nothing to the imagination. I have a belly pooch that I'm very self conscious about, and even with shapewear, I felt like this dress accentuated my stomach. It looks great from the front, but not from the side. I didn't wear it because I didn't feel comfortable. Maybe I'll try again once I've dropped a few pounds! LOL

If you're busty, beware....
This is definitely a sexy, beautiful dress and the bright color is gorgeous, but it's tricky if you have large breasts. My weight fluctuates, so right now I am a DD, and this dress was not flattering, nor comfortable. The top part of the dress has these darts that made my breasts look weird, and the halter top was pulling on my neck so much. I couldn't wear a bra either because it showed, so this was a fail for me. Such a disappointment because other ladies looked fantastic in the reviews.

Very unique and beautiful, but hard to pull off....
First of all, this dress is gorgeous and perfect if you want to stand out. The style and cut is very different and will get you lots of attention and compliments, IF you can pull it off. Emphasis on IF, because this dress is not flattering on most body types, and the color only suits certain skin tones (probably warmer, olive skin tones). Unless you have a flat stomach and a slim waistline, I would not recommend this dress, because it accentuates a larger stomach. It's not the most comfortable garment for sitting and eating. Also, the dress contains shoulder pads, so if you already have broad shoulders, it will highlight them. Even though I never wore the dress because it was really unflattering, due to some extra quarantine pounds (LOL), I do plan on wearing it once I get in better shape. Wear it with confidence and some nice heels and you'll look great!!

Elegant and classy!
I absolutely love this dress. The color is gorgeous, the material is high quality and it hugs in all the right places. Wearing a bra is tricky, due to how the dress is cut, but I actually didn't need one because the fabric holds everything in place. Very stretchy and comfortable. My husband loved it and actually wants me to buy it, and he is picky! Only thing is that I wish I had gotten a small instead of a medium because I wanted a more snug fit. All in all, a great find!!

Wrinkly fabric, strange fit
I was unable to wear this outfit, due to the fact that it was so unflattering on me. The color and fabric are beautiful, but it's VERY sheer and wrinkles easily. I also hated the tied sleeves. They looked great on the model, but in real life, they resemble wilted lettuce. This is a really difficult outfit to pull off. I imagine you'd have to be super tall and thin to look good in it. By the way, if you have even the smallest tummy pooch, avoid this garment. It accentuated my stomach in the worst way!

Pretty dress, but way too big
This is a beautiful dress that is perfect for summer and spring. However, I didn't end up wearing it to my daytime party because it was so baggy and unflattering. It didn't do anything for my figure and it actually made me look much bigger. I'm 5'7", just to give a reference point, so I doubt this would work on a petite person. I think it would work great as a maternity dress. Otherwise, steer clear.

Gorgeous and sexy dress!
My photos don't even do this dress justice. The material is beautiful and has a lovely sheen, and I adore the steel blue color. It would flatter many skin tones. The overall design showed off my figure nicely, and I could wear a regular bra, which is a huge bonus when you have a bigger bust. It was easy to get on and off and was really flattering. My husband loved it and told me I should buy it, and he's super picky!! The only problem is that it runs a little big, so I would size down next time. It still looked great though, and just allowed me to eat more at dinner!

Complete fail
This dress didn't do me any favors and actually made me look bigger. It looks fantastic on the model, but as you can see from my photos, is not flattering on a regular person. The ruching on the right side is so awkward and makes the dress fit strangely. It also ruins the silhouette and adds bulk to your waist. The straps were too long and made my breasts look saggy. Finally, it was a nightmare to get it zipped up, even though I ordered the correct size. The only good thing about it is that the material is thick and high quality. Still, I would NOT recommend this dress.

Pretty spring dress, but a little too big
This dress is so fun and pretty, perfect for Easter brunch! The fabric is thick and the dress is high quality, yet it still feels breezy for a hot day. Very flattering for most shapes, although I would definitely choose the next size down if I rent this again. It was way too big in the bust area and my bra showed, which I don't care for. It didn't show off my figure as much as I would have liked, but it was still super cute.

Very unflattering!
Yikes, I don't think many people could make this top work. First of all, I should have gotten a small, not a medium. I could not fill it out in the bust area, even though I'm a D-cup. Also, it was just way too big overall and did not flatter my figure. The print and fabric were beautiful and I loved the colors, but this was just a complete fail for me.
