Lots of compliments
Looks great and is pretty comfortable (although not very breathable). If you have a relatively large chest / lats / back, this dress isn't for you since there is no stretch.

Comfy and great dress
Tried both S and XS, and decided I liked a slightly tighter look. The dress is very comfortable, light but the fabric is thick enough to look formal. Highly recommend if you're going to dance all night but need something formal enough for a black tie wedding.

Make sure you have stick on bra, slightly tight around the waist while loose around the hips

Way too long
Even with 4 inch heels, about 3 inches too long. Also was slightly too large around the waist. If they had a 00 petite, that might have fit.

Perfect fit and length
Fabric was slightly stretchy, so had some give. Only issue is the sequins dug in around the edges of the dress around the arm holes and neck.

Weird proportions
The chest was too tight (I'm a 34A) and the waist was a bit loose.

Did not wear.
The fit was good - the thick material is forgiving for all shapes and sizes. The color is also great for all skin tones (I typically don't look great in red). However, i'm short and the length was a bit awkward, so I chose not to wear it out.

Comfortable, beautiful dress.
Easy to make fit even if a little large, since it's a wrap dress. The bust was still a bit large, but I'm a 30A, so that's on me. The back of the dress was ankle-length on me, which looked fine, and I liked that there was an inner tie to make sure the front of the dress didn't gape open when sitting or in a strong wind. Fabric is a light cotton, but it's not see-through, so no worries there. Highly recommend for anything from vacationing to a summer, outdoor party / wedding.

Pretty, high end, but subtle.
It's about the size of a cereal box (a little shorter). I love the details and the muted powder blue color as well as the card slots on the inside that allowed me to skip bringing my full wallet. Gapes open if you don't pull the strings tight, but not really and issue since it looks pretty when drawn tight.

Comfy and beautiful fabric.
I wish there was a 00R or a 0P size. This dress looks ok, but a tad big on me. It's meant to be flowy and loose, so, not a huge issue, but it would look way better if it fit me properly. Still love the dress and highly recommend.

Looks great
I have a long torso, and the hip region of the dress is a bit high. It causes a slight ripple in the fabric just above my hips, but it's not that noticeable. The one thing that's annoying about this dress is the capped sleeves cause the dress to ride waaaaaay up when you raise your arms. Normally not a big deal, but this is a short dress, and the ruffles are see-through. If you raise your arms with elbows as shoulder heigh, you can see your crotch / underwear through the ruffles. Otherwise, a very pretty dress. Recommend wearing a slip under the dress.

Fun to wear out.
At 5'3", the sleeves are more like long 3/4 sleeves and the length is to my ankles. I just rolled up the sleeves for a more casual look and it was fine. XS / 0 sizes tend to be a bit large for me (by length and width), so the fact that this fit me probably indicates that the dress is smaller than a typical XS / 0. I have broad shoulders so it was a little tight around the shoulders, but I'm a 30A, so the lack of boobage prevented the dress from feeling too tight.

Wore out and looked sexy without being over the top.
It's a hair too loose on me but I liked the look so I wore it out. If you are looking for skintight, this isn't going to be it.

Quality is very high, color is beautiful. But was too long for my height, even with heels. Also was about 1 size too large, and was loose everywhere.

It's very long, and will not fit a girl my height even with 4" heels. Also very large. I needed the xxs or the xxxs.

Material is very nice but like another reviewer mentioned, it's not made for longer torsos. The hip cut rests at my waist and looks really weird

Got lots of compliments from other women.
Fits perfectly, but the waistband is unforgiving, so if you tend to expand and contract with eating (around the waist) it will cut into your sides. I'd probably get a better fit length-wise if it was petite since the regular hit exactly at my ankles, which is less flattering than if the dress hit just above my ankles. My shoulders are a bit on the broad side (used to be a swimmer), so the capped sleeves cut into my shoulders when I lifted my arms above my head, but it's still moveable. The dress is well-made and will absolutely survive a night of strenuous debauchery.
