Wore this dress for a halloween costume and it struck just the right balance - sexy but not TOO sexy. I usually wear a size 6 but read the reviews that it runs small, so got the 8 and it fit like a glove. Loved that it was tight without feeling like an overstuffed sausage. The cutout in the middle was great, but definitely showed my strapless bra so I needed little petals. Got tons of compliments and overall loved it!

I got so many compliments last night and felt truly gorgeous in this dress. I took a star off because it was definitely not a "put it on and forget it" dress. The train hooks into the bodice and the hooks were loose with wear so I had to keep readjusting it; the bust was a bit large for me and the back was a bit too low for a normal strapless bra, so I was doing the chicken wing sporadically to pull it up, and I think the empty bust made my boobs look a little funny but overall it looked so good that I didn't care. There was also a tiny bit of wear and tear around the hem from getting stepped on, but definitely nothing noticeable. Overall, 100% recommend this dress for a magical night!

I was deciding between this dress and another that felt a bit more, ahem, forgiving...but every friend who saw me try this dress on absolutely insisted I wear it. I wore it for my date's work dinner and received a text a few days later saying "You are still getting compliments from my coworkers on your attire from dinner the other night." Fit is definitely on the short and tight side, and as others have mentioned would not be great for dancing as you can't really raise your arms above your shoulders. But overall, was definitely an eye-catching dress that I would wear again!

I loved the vibrant blue color of the dress, and the plunging V back. The pleated skirt was sweeping and beautiful, and the whole thing was perfect for a black-tie wedding! There wasn't much difference between the 6 and the 8, so I went with the smaller. Even my (extremely persnickety) father approved.

I'm not typically a jewelry person, but this was too gorgeous to pass up. It was so light and comfortable I would have completely forgotten it was there, except that everyone was exclaiming over it. Definitely recommend, and I would easily wear again!

Love love loved this dress. It was perfect for an outdoor California wedding. Fit was snug through the bodice (I have no boobs), and the floaty flare of the skirt was so dreamy. The bride told me a couple of weeks later that her friends referred to me as "the angel" all night. It must have some sort of magical property, too - I was the only one that didn't get devoured by mosquitos!

I got the 6 and the 8, and fit perfectly into the 6 (I usually wear 8). My friends and date all gasped when they saw it, and people stopped me on the street on the way to the event (senior gala) to compliment me on it. I felt amazing and got lots of attention! Also ordered the suggested Nicole Miller earrings, which went perfectly with the dress.
