Loved it so much I bought it.

This is a fantastic dress that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. I wore it twice--once to a gala, another time to the theater. It's both comfortable and striking. Best of all, it's really flexible in its fabric an is cut in a way that will flatter many body types. Absolutely loved this dress.

Nice looking but pretty unforgiving (i.e., no stretch)

I wasn't able to wear this. It was simply too small at my normal size and given the fabric (velvet) there was absolutely no give. A nice-looking suit, to be sure, but it would have to be larger to even *possibly* fit me and it still might not with my large bust.

Great for hiding a belly and holding a bosom. Terrific stretch.

I loved this dress and plan to buy it for future use. This dress is flattering and cut in a way that minimizes things you might want to understate (in my case my large belly and very large bosom). The slit is pretty high so certain Spanx will be visible. Overall, a very flattering dress for people of larger size.

This and the other Badgley Mischka gown I tried were way small

I'll leave a review that's similar to that of another review I wrote for a Badgley Mischka gown that came in the same shipment: in addition to this item running smaller than a standard Size 16, it didn't have the proportions for busty women. Overall, the cut just seemed....off, and like I would have needed to size up significantly to even attempt to get it right.

If you're large-chested, forget it.

In addition to the fact that this item ran smaller than a standard Size 16, it really didn't have the proportions for busty women. Even in a larger size the bust area was way small. I guess there are larger women who are small-breasted, but my experience has been that most of us aren't. Overall, the cut just seemed....off.
