Fantastic for a wedding in France
The comments were so helpful and accurate. This dress is gorgeous, the pockets are amazing, the cut of the skirt both dramatic and romantic / so pretty -- if you can make the sizing work. I normally wear a 4 but am quite petite up top with hips. I took advice from other comments to size down to a 2, and while the straps were still long and the dress was a bit tight to zip up, worked well. Fit issues: (I'm 5'2" a 34B and 135lbs) per other comments, a racer back adapter would have been helpful for comfort and piece of mind for the long straps, but I was ok with out it. I did wish I had brought fashion tape. The cut of the bodice is quite wide - part of the drama of the simple top, and a little tape would go a long way to keeping everything just so when sitting / getting in and out of cars / just keeping you from having to adjust or check. The full skirt was VERY full, so even though I had to squeeze into the top, there was more than enough room through the skirt (despite me being quite hippy). As another commented noted, it's quite long. It just grazed the floor for me in heels, I made it work but had to watch the hem in crowds. The pockets were big! You could hold a phone and lipstick with only minor effect on the silhouette - and so practical. I thought it was fun and romantic and dramatic enough for a big, destination wedding and got a number of compliments. I had a great experience wth the dress.

Sharp and different
Great top for work. The bustle in the back added some interest, and the fabric/fitted cut of the top was a nice balance of stylish without being too revealing.

Beautiful but needs a pin
Color, fit, style were great, but a pin or fashion tape are necessary to not flash the world!

Simple, sleek, sophisticated
Thick fabric, form fitting, definitely important to get size and pants right. It will show everything underneath on the waist.

Beautiful, but needed help to get in (and out)
Beautiful fabric, sleek fit - would have loved to wear it if I weren't traveling. But I couldn't get in the dress solo and wasn't confident I'd be able to get out of it at the end of the day without help!
