little black jumper!
love how it hugs at the right places and the high waist with the wide long legs give an appearance of lean long legs. Just the right amount of skin showing to feel sexy but not too exposed!

Fit is perfect!
The dress truly hugs at the very best places. Although it won't "hold you in" anywhere because fabric, while nice, is not thick enough. The spaghetti strap along with the neckline is very flattering, but you don't feel overexposed. The dress creates and emphasizes an hourglass shape that I didn't even think I had! However, I could tell I got an overwork dress because the slit did not sit pretty along the left edge but flared out, even with steaming and ironing. If you're shorter than me (5' 5"), then the slot will sit even lower on your thigh and may look different than it does in the model. Overall, a great wedding guest dress!

Tight Fit
Disclaimer - I usually do not wear tightly fitting clothing, as I like to not be restricted in movement. With that said, I rented this dress for a part of my engagement photo shoot - it was a replacement dress. The dress fit great and was good for picture purposes, so I was satisfied. The fabric is very heavy and sits nice, but it does not sit as flat as I would like, creating some wrinkles (I steamed it before wearing too and that didn't do that trick). It's figure-flattering, but not sure how I would have liked it/moved init had I rented this for any other purpose but for a photo shoot!

beautiful cut, weird fit
This dress is two parts - nude liner is separately packaged/worn first then the white, woven shell goes on top. Got both a s & xs as many reviews said they fit large, and that part was true, so far as the shell goes. The nude liner, which you have to wear underneath because the shell is very hole-y & completely see through, is not stretchy in the least bit and while it fits well when worn, it is very difficult to take it off - I struggled trying to get it over my shoulders or my butt! I'm anywhere from a size 00-2, and don't have particularly broad shoulders nor wide hips, so I would say this experience isn't limited to just me. Anyway, I rented the dress for an engagement shoot and it was one of few outfits so knowing I'll have difficulty changing out of it, I had to get a different dress overnighted. Wish it worked out! I loved the fun detail. If you have a nude slip of your own that you like, then I'd recommend.

Fiance loved it!
It was a dress choice definitely on the "sexier" side than I normally choose, but I ended up wearing after multiple reassurances from my finace that I looked great. Got lots of compliments, fits very well and it's a nice, heavy fabric. It is a rather dramatic neckline, so I wore a strapless, stick-on bras placed very strategically so it won't show.

Perfect for spring outdoor wedding
if you're looking for a dress for in between winter/spring and you don't care for all the pastel colors, this is the perfect dress! With tiny floral prints and an open back design, I still felt "springy" - not to mention, the fabric is very flowy/breezy. It was perfect for an outdoor wedding in the 70's, I did not break a single sweat! Lots of compliments all night!

Classy, work-appropriate
I wore this to my first holiday party with my law firm and felt I was appropriately dressed but felt it was still fun and cute!

Wore it for law school graduation
Very appropriate for a graduation but the fabric is very heavy-duty and in the Florida-summer heat, it was quite hot! (reception was outside). The waste is very very small, and I typically size down but sized up for this dress.

Great color!
It's a little bit more mustard-y than shown online but in a good way! Fabric is nice and thick and the drape points on very meticulously selected. Very flattering on!

Just slightly snug!
I ended up not wearing this one because I rented two different styles and I just felt that the other one was more me. However! I could not decide which to choose right up until I walked out the door because this dress was simply stunning! It fits VERY form-fitting, but its material is nice and thick enough to hide some unflattering lumps and bumps
