Form-fitting and fun
I had a lot of fun in this dress and received a lot of compliments, however, it's probably not for everyone. It's a lot more form-fitting than shown on the model - it fits very close to the body from the shoulder to just above the waist and doesn't camoflage much of anything. As others have mentioned, the cut-outs at the bust also go very low, so I just skipped a bra altogether. That said, it's a great party dress that was appropriate for an outdoor wedding, and I was sad to send it back.

Unexpected sparkle
I received this dress as what I initially ordered for my sister's rehearsal dinner was damaged and couldn't be sent. As there were no reviews yet, I anticipated a fairly standard sundress, but was surprised when it had sparkly silver thread throughout the lighter color on the dress, making it a little dressier than I anticipated (silver shoes look awesome with it though). Another note - the cap sleeves do not lie flat against your shoulders. There is a pleat at the top that holds the structure of the sleeve, which gives a little bit of a football player/shoulder pad effect. The fabric is very soft and on the lighter side, so it would be comfortable for summer events. It was very flattering on my hourglass figure and I received a lot of compliments.

Professional look
I rented this dress for professional headshots based on other reviews of women who rented for professional events. It was overall a good choice - the fit was good (true size 6), the print was interesting, and it was very high-quality. It wasn't really a showstopper, so I wouldn't rent for a social occasion, but it was good for my purposes.

Makes a statement
I really loved this dress and got lots of compliments. It wasn't perfect - the waist hit me a little high (and I don't consider myself long-waisted) and was a little tight as a result, and the skirt wasn't as opaque as I thought it would be so you can see the slip underneath, but it was truly beautiful and fun to wear.

Beautiful print
This was a fun, comfortable dress for a wedding. The fit was true to size. I wore a bra with the straps criss-crossed in back, as the straps hit high by your neck. The fabric is a nice weight for fall and drapes beautifully.

Ridiculously fun dress
I loved this dress - the fabric is nice quality (heavier than I expected) so it drapes nicely. I didn't wear a bra and didn't have to, but the strap on the back didn't really allow it. The short side is quite short but the hemline doesn't make it risque overall. I highly recommend for a fun, not-super formal event.

Beware hourglass figures!
While the fabric of this dress was heavier and nicer than I anticipated, it did nothing for me. The color change hit at my widest point and was not flattering at all. I have worn other dresses cut like this with success, but this was disappointing.

Classy and classic dress for sister-in-law's wedding
Truly beautiful dress - wanted to buy it by the end of the night. The lace pattern is bolder than I expected, but very lovely. The belt wasn't in the best shape when I received it, but it still worked. The wedding day was extremely hot, and the dress didn't weigh me down.

Hot dress with a great design
The material was not what I expected - very spandex-y and clingy (and a little cheap feeling) - but I ended up liking it quite a bit. The dress rode up while dancing, but the top stayed put, even with the open back.

I got tons of compliments - people were even telling my husband how much they liked my dress!
This is a really beautiful dress. The waist hit a little high on me (and I typically think of myself as a little short-waisted) but it was still flattering. The lace around the neckline and arm openings needed to be pressed a little bit before wearing, but that was a quick fix. Great for dancing!
