Very sexy
Warning that the slit is VERY high if you are curvy like I am. Very flattering however and ruching helps hide any mommy pouch you may have...

Great fit, VERY comfortable
As other reviews covered, the dress is a bit short for taller ladies. So I would go long if you’re 5’7” or taller. Unfortunately long wasn’t available for me so I had to wear short heels. Other than that, the dress was the most comfortable formal gown I have ever worn. The cut is very flattering if you have a curvy body. Loved it.

Not made for wide hips.
I have wide hips, lots of curves, and this dress was too tight on my hips to wear. I generally wear a 12, and the large is what I rented.

Beautiful style and color!
Don't tell her...but I think I received more compliments than the bride. Still very comfortable! I made the wedding cake and put it together there on site, in this dress, with no problem.

LOTS of compliments
I wore this piece to an event at the American Visionary Arts Museum and got tons of compliments. I do wish that it had been slightly bigger. Parts of it kept sliding slightly under the top of my shell neckline.

Comfortable and Stylish!
The fit on this dress is great. The material is very giving and the placement of the peplum material helps to mask any "pouch" you may have. The color is closer to a pure red than it appears in the photo of the model (in my mind it appears to be a rust in that photo).

Great cut and trendy pattern.
I felt good in this blazer at the office. I was skeptical when I first removed it from the box, but it grew on me quickly. Nice length and although it appears boxy, it was comfortable and giving.

Pretty color, not enough give.
I ended up unable to wear it. I have been blessed with a large "back porch" and if you have one yourself, you may not be able to get this sheath to fit properly. It was snug around my hips so therefore didn't have the appearance of a sheath but a shirt that was too long and/or tight at the hip area. I sent it back.

AMAZING comfort for such a stylish skirt.
Literally felt like I had a sweater on from the waist down. It was the most comfortable skirt I've ever worn. Got lots of compliments on the style. I paired it with a yellow blouse and black blazer for work. With black and white color block heels. Felt amazing all day.

Beautiful fit and style...BUT
The dress is very layered, between the lacey layers and the underlying layers, the zipper kept getting caught. I didn't want to have to wrestle with the zipper all day, so I sent it back without wearing it. It's a gorgeous fit though, if you can get the zipper to work properly.

Work of Art
The paneling truly is a work of art. Reminds me of a Monet piece, waterlillies in particular. Wore to work and got many many compliments. The panel is placed in such a way that it accentuates the waist beautifully and brings the eye in to the smallest part of your waist.

More Sassy than Classy
I am generally renting items for work. This skirt is VERY fitted, perhaps a bit too much so if you are wearing it in an office environment. If you are wearing it out on the town, perfect! If you get a size up, it may be just the right fit for the office.

Couldn't zip it, no give.
Pretty dress but I could not get it on, has no stretch so if you're a curvy girl, you should go up a size.

No Give, couldn't wear it.
I am a curvy girl. Muscular and curvy. I could not even zip up this dress, although I ordered it in my usual size. Unfortunately had to send it back. It also looked a bit dingy.

Classy
Wore this with a short black dress for my law school graduation. Perfect for the occasion. Oozed class and sophistication. Heavy enough that it looks expensive yet not so heavy that it was uncomfortable.

Simple but beautiful
I wore this dress for my Law School graduation. I have a curvy athletic build, and this dress softened me and was very comfortable. I do not have a very big chest however, and the chest area was a little loose. Other than that, it was perfect.
