Liked it so much I bought it.
Great material for curvy bodies. Elastic waistband was comfortable. I wore it with a bodysuit tank top and it looked great. Skirt can easily be moved up/down with the elastic/stretchable material.

Sleek and Sexy
Wore a M and was nervous it was a little too curve-hugging for work but with a sweater/blazer over it and conservative heels, I felt like it was doable. Anybody larger than a B cup would have a tough time in the M.

Trendy Color!
Wore a MR but could have easily worn a SR. The bust area was very loose and would often separate and plunge down, showing my strapless bra so I had to use a safety pin and pin the two bust panels together.

Eye catching option for work.
Wore a size 8 but could have gone with a 6. Beautiful vibrant colors. Wore with tan heels, rust colored top and a blue cardigan. So many options in terms of colors and layers. Skirt is perfectly light for South Florida summer heat.

Beautiful style but unsupported chest.
I wish it had fit better. The fabric was nice and light, the pattern was eye catching. Pockets are nice. But the fit was terrible for me in the chest and shoulder area. The straps were too long and were not adjustable. The bodice area should have had some additional structure built in to accommodate for the non-adjustable straps - at least some built in cups. I am a B cup and given the thin, pliable nature of the fabric, I kept having to pull up the straps and ending up wearing a white sweater over the dress to insure no slips as the fabric in the chest area can flip down easily.

Beautiful dress for vacation.
Runs large - would normally wear a M with my hips and thighs but a S was ok. Could have gone with an XSR. Breathable material that moves nicely. Straps are adjustable and the waist has its own independent tie which helps bring the look together. Wore with flat strappy sandals.

Perfect for date night.
Great fit and comfort. Would normally wear a M or a L with my hips and thighs but a S was perfect. The tie around piece of fabric did rise above the top of the waist band a couple of times. Wore it with a long sleeve black bodysuit and rust colored heels.

Casual skirt but stiff.
Wore this skirt for a day on the town while on vacation. Great with a plain white tshirt or tanktop. Based on the photos, I thought it'd be a bit more flowy but is rather stiff. There were a couple of times where I had to make sure the backside wasn't sticking up when I got up from a couch or chair. Other than that, the skirt's eyelet design was beautiful and I appreciated the lining underneath.

Unique wrap dress.
Beautiful pattern but a bit too much fabric and layers for a South Florida balmy day. It's a unique wrap dress though!

Weird fit.
Strange fit - was too tight in the hips and too big in the straps. Thin fabric. Found the slit to lay way higher than the photos show. My wide hips made the slit open that much more so too much of a slit for me. Definitely not for a pear shaped body. Straight and narrows only.

Better for a bigger bust.
Beautiful pattern and fabric but felt like I was swimming in it. If I had a C or D cup I feel like it would have been way more comfortable and less gapping. Very flowy- does not come in at the waist or hips at all though so I felt like it was a little too tent-like.

Great fit and beautiful color.
It fit perfectly. Didn't end up wearing it because yellow doesn't look all that great on me. Would need strapless bra. Sturdy, high quality fabric but feels light while wearing.

Hugged me in all of the right spots.
Wore this to a formal, black tie optional wedding. If you have hips and curves, this is a great dress. Was easily able to wear a strapless bra, no issue. The fabric did get caught a couple of times - heel, purse, etc. - so the overlay be an issue but overall it wasn't a persistent issue. Form fitting head to knee.

NYE.
Would normally wear a medium but a small worked. Tight and form fighting but thick enough fabric where it sucks you in in all of the right places. It is a thicker fabric so not for hot outdoor environments.

Did not end up wearing this dress as it was my backup. Size was fine but I think the arm straps would have fit better in a size down/smaller.

Beautiful color but not that unique.
Everything was great about this dress other than the fact that 3 other people at the same function (wedding at Lake Tahoe) had the same exact dress on. I found it comfortable and breathable enough for an outdoor ceremony and outdoor reception in the middle of July.

Glad I didn't have to resort to this backup dress.
Rented this as a back-up option and grateful I didn't have to use it. Definitely not a dress for someone who has curves. Was really difficult to get on with the thickness and rigidity of the fabric. Once I was able to get it on, I found that I could not walk properly - very restricted by the ankles - felt like I was in a sausage casing skooting around the room because I couldn't take a stride longer than 6 inches.

Good match for a black dress for a black tie optional wedding in NYC.
Able to easily fit iPhone, cards, cash, and a lipstick. The shimmer of it is eye-catching but not over the top.

Elegant dress for black tie optional wedding in NYC.
Tight in the stomach area. Definitely read the reviews in terms of length - to get a R or a L based on your own height and heel height. Overall, great fabric and an elegant dress. The detailed curvature on the bottom really stands out.
