Adorable, figure hugging LBD

This is a beautiful LBD. It hugs all your curves, so you have to be prepared to "own it". If you don't like your hips, I wouldn't get this dress. It's fairly short too - I am 5' 7" and it was as about as short as I'd go. I loved this dress. Super fun and cute, but classic too. Crazy comfortable also.

Super cute and flattering - even with a 4 month baby bump!

I wore this for a Christmas party and am 4 months pregnant. The dress runs WAY big! I am 5' 7" and usually wear a 10 or sometimes an 8, but even being preggo, this SMALL size was ok (they didn't have the medium). Admittedly it was very tight on the bust though. The dress is very pretty and elegant. It's so comfortable too. It was December and cold, so I wore thick black tights, but I was glad because the dress is very short. I think it's perfect for a winter party. Would definitely rent this one again, but if it's in the next 5 months, I'll get the medium!

Pretty, flattering and elegant cocktail dress for formal military dinner

I got this dress for my husband's formal "dining out" dinner. It's a gorgeous dark navy colour, with pretty cap sleeves. It's a true navy, so it looked very dark inside, but out in the sun the color really shone. It's well fitted, but because of the lace overlay, I didn't feel like it was clingy or showing lumps and bumps! I'm 5'7" and it was just long enough for a formal affair - if you're taller, you might find it too short. It's plain but pretty and elegant. I paired it with some shiny RTR earrings and I think the dress needs something like that to make it that little more special. In terms of fit, I normally wear a 10 or an 8, and I wore the 10 with this dress. It's snug but not tight. I'm not sure I'd want to wear it if I was planning to do lots of dancing. It's a great dress for a formal affair though.

Beautiful color and shape, and still classy enough for a very formal work event!

This dress is conservative enough for a special work event, but it also makes you really stand out because of the bright, eye-catching color and the fact that it's very well fitted. You can't fade into the background in this dress! The fabric is heavy, so I don't think it would be ideal for a warm climate/venue, but for a cocktail reception in New York in January, it was perfect. It is very well fitted, so I wouldn't wear it for a dinner and I definitely felt more comfortable wearing it with spanx. Bold accessories totally go with this dress too, so if you have a statement necklace or bracelet you want to really stand out, this is the dress to pair it with. I loved it!

Gorgeous dress - super flattering, easy to wear and I felt great!

The dress is gorgeous - it's really well tailored and is very pretty. It's quite short but I think that's ok because it's quite conservative up top. I wore it to my husband's work Christmas party and I felt great. I love the fact that it's not clingy, so it was great for a dinner! It does run big, I normally wear an 8 or a 10 but I read the other reviews and ordered down, and I'm glad I did, because I ended up wearing the 6. I loved this dress!
