Was sent this dress as an emergency back up when a dress I had on order could not be sent. I wanted a dress with some sparkle for an Oscar party and this didn't disappoint! I was initially worried that it would be too short and to young looking, but the scoop neck and back along with the cap sleeves balanced out the shortness and made it feel more comfortable. The size 2 fit perfectly and had enough give to sit and move even with the sequins. Although it was slim fitting, the texture of the sequins made me feel like I didn't need to be on stomach watch all night. Another plus was that my hair didnt get caught in the sequins which as a pleasant surprise :)

Wore this dress for a gallery opening at the high end jewelry store that I work at. It was very appropriate for the evening since I wanted to wear something special, but still needed to be professional - and the gemstone animals and flowers in the fabric sealed the deal! Great details and design, without being too flashy. I wore it with black tights and booties which went well with the overall look of e dress. Got several compliments throughout the evening! The fabric is thick, and I was initially worried about being to warm, but the zippers on the sleeves made it easy to push them up if I got to warm - I ended up keeping them at 3/4 length the whole evening and was fine. The fabric wasn't stiff and had nice give for moving around. Length was perfect, and I loved how the skirt was a little flared. For some practical tidbits - I usually wear a 2 or 4, so I ordered the 10 and 12 ( 4and 6) just to be safe. The six was loose around the shoulders and top, but would have worked I a pinch. The 4 was what I ended up wearing and it was a good fit, but could have fit a bit smoother through my hips and shoulders - probably only something I noticed though! The fabric is very forgiving! One odd thing I noticed was that the dress kept pulling my bra straps down. Not sure how or why it was happening though. Only thought was that a smaller size might have helped hold everything in place more. I would try a 2 and 4 next time since my curves are lacking and seeing that this dress has some give :) Overall a fun and funky dress that was perfect for the evening!
