Gorgeous dress, very flattering for girls night out
I loved this dress. The fit was spot on and the combination of sequins on the front but stretch material on the side was genius. This dress is very fitted, but because of the design and the material you really don't need spanx in the right size. It's a very showy, glittery dress and you will definitely stand out. The only downside is that the sequins will sometimes pop up and you have to brush them down, but that's such a minor flaw I can't downgrade for that.

Gorgeous Dress for my Masters Graduation Ceremony
I absolutely loved this dress and got so many compliments on it all night. It's flowy and pretty. The colors photograph really well. I wore a regular nude bra with it and it didn't show through the material. I would really consider purchasing it in the future. It's a very versatile dress.

Great dress for girls for with a larger bust, plenty of space at the top and fits well at the waist
The material is soft and flows well, the waist is not too tight and the top provides room for larger busted girls (I'm a 34F) . I loved it! I got compliments all night on the dress, I felt relaxed and sexy at the same time. I would definitely rent the dress again. I wore it to Graduate school graduation, dinner, and after party. It's a very multipurpose wear dress.

Gorgeous outdoor party dress
I have never genuinely considered spending $250 on a sundress but this one I wanted to keep. The floral print makes it feel a little older at first but the cut is actually very sexy and flattering. My boyfriend loves this dress and people complimented me all day in it. You can wear regular underwear and bra with this so no need for spanx or anything. The size fit me perfectly but I think someone with bigger boobs than mine would have a hard time. This dress would be great for an outdoor party or casual event where you just wanted to feel a little special.

Really unique dress and definitely club worthy
I loved this dress at the beginning of the night more than the end. It's basically like wearing a wetsuit and you have to balance it with being tight enough to be right with showing all the flaws. I'm not going to lie, some pictures are not flattering but it looked great on. You can't really wear spanx because it will show the waistband line. No bra necessary if you are small on top like me.

Great material and cute dress
I have the unlimited subscription and rented this dress for my friend when she came to visit. The gold overlay material was very cool, but the dress was really short and pulled in the waist area and it rode up all night. It's very comfortable, but didn't fit her very well. Undergarments - maybe some Hollywood tape on the chest to keep it from falling while you sit, but just regular bra.

Very unique color and material
This dress was a hit for my graduate school cherry blossom ball. It's very figure flattering in an a line, high-low hem. No one had anything like it! Pros - color and cut very flattering and the dress really shows off a sexy lower leg. Cons - a bit heavy and slips down. It was just a little big in the chest. Undergarments - I wore a strapless bra to try and fill out the top, but it wasn't necessary. This dress is too heavy for Hollywood tape to help.

Versatile dress for day and night
This dress could really go either way depending on how you style it. I wanted a dress to go to dinner and possibly dancing in. I paired it with silver textured stilettos and a coral statement necklace. If you put a jacket and basic black or a modest colored heel it could easily serve as a work dress. Pros, the fit was very flattering and photographed well. Cons, while it didn't look a little small, it felt very tight in the waist and hips, especially when I sat down. Also keep in mind very short if you are a taller woman. Underwear - regular bra, spanx not necessary.

Great dress, runs big
This dress is business in the front, party in the back. It looks very conservative from the front but the back is totally open. I'm 5'8" and the 8L is too long for me with three inch heels on. Normally, I have to have the long just to have it come past my ankles. The fabric feels pretty and a nice quality. The long a-line skirt is very figure flattering, but the back means you have to be keeping up at the gym anyway. I have the unlimited subscription and would love to try it on a 6R but no time to send back before the event. Will wear a different dress instead.

Not a great dress for the cost
I ordered this dress through the unlimited program and was very excited to wear such a beautiful designer dress. It is very heavy, the material feels like it came off of a ballet tutu, and the color is much more orange than coral. It also fit in the hips, but was way too small in the rib cage, which is pretty odd for me. Usually, it is the other way around.

Beautiful and unique dress
I love this dress. The fabric along with the open back design were really great. The blue design is even more detailed in person than in the photo. Two things to be aware of, as others have said you have to concentrate on your posture with this dress, otherwise the front will bunch and look weird. Also, when you sit down the skirt kinda has this weird fold on it at the hips. I really recommend it though.

Great dress for certain body types
I ordered this dress as a back up dress for New Years Eve this year and it didn't work out. I'm sure that it looks great on certain body types, but on someone with a pear body shape it is tight in all the wrong places and isn't flattering. I really liked the purple color of the dress and in theory the cut of the top and shoulders should have been great, but it really just didn't look good on.

Not this dress
This dress felt like I was putting on a wetsuit. The detailing is really cool, but it's really just a print. The material is very tight, but because it's basically neoprene it adds the appearance of bulk. Especially if you are looking for a dress to be slimming, this isn't the one.

Wish I could have worn it out
So, my event was cancelled at the last minute and I couldn't wear this out, but I really wish I could have. I loved this dress. Many sheath dresses with tighter skirts like this are too small on the bottom and too big on top, but the ones that fit look amazing. This fit great, it was a quality fabric and it looked so good on. I would say that if you are smaller than a B cup on top I wouldn't do this because that's what I am and it was just slightly too big in the chest. Other than that though, loved it and will order it again.

Too big in the chest and shoulders.
I didn't end up wearing this dress but just posted this picture for review purposes. It fit through the hips and thighs fine but was baggy and slouchy on the top. The material is stretchy so is good for showing shape while hiding the flaws you might want to. Also, the zipper was very odd. It sounded like the fabric was ripping even though it was just fine.
