This was my back up dress and while I didn't end up wearing it to the event, I was a big fan. The dress is heavy (and has a bit of a train) and runs a tad large (I usually wear a size 6 or 8 and the 4 fit me perfectly), but it's a stunning option for a black tie affair..

I wore this dress for a close friends black tie wedding. The dress was stunning and super comfortable -- easy to dance in, but incredibly elegant. The fit was true to size and I wore the regular length with 3 inch heels (I'm 5'6") and the fit was close to perfect.

I usually wear a size 6/8 so ordered the six. It hung off me and felt like a good two sizes too big. I could see how if the dress fit right it would be adorable, but it felt as if the size had been mislabeled.

The dress was beautiful--I ordered it for a black tie wedding in NYC and it would have been perfect, but unfortunately the dress was a bit too big, which made it unflattering. I'm 5'7" about 150 lbs and usually where a size 8, but for some reason this didn't hug me, it was just too large all around. I ordered the 8R and 8L thinking that I might need the long with the 3.5" heels I was planning on wearing, but the regular length would have been perfect. Next time I'll ordered the 6R!
