Wonderful, age appropriate, but no stretch
This dress was fabulous and exactly as others have reviewed. I felt so age appropriate in this (early 30s but not wanting to show it all). I was unable like others to wear Spanx with this so I would recommend going in the larger of 2 sizes you're debating. But so comfortable!

So many compliments!
Started out just a little tight, but stretched out just the right amount to breathe! Others have mentioned the lack of motion in the one arm, and while I noticed that, I didn't find it too prohibitive. Got so many compliments on this dress. To be honest, I'm weighing in at more around 150lbs right now and was hoping a 6 would fit, but 8 was just the right size.

Such a fun dress!
Weighing in at 150lbs and a 36D, this dress was a little boobalicious but definitely doable and so cute! I loved having the straps up a little higher like shown in the photo. PSA, when sitting that slit is a little uncomfortable for a church ceremony unless you have something to cover it with. I listened to the other reviews and made sure to tape down the hangar straps in front and back, definitely gave me some peace of mind. Overall great, comfy dress that I was able to dance all night in and not have to wear Spanx.

Beautiful fabric and silhouette
Loved the look of this dress for a formal awards ceremony I attended with some girlfriends. The fit (I like my dresses snug at the waist), POCKETS, and overall shape and look of the dress were stunning. I would have given this 5 stars except for my constant fear of falling out of the top of the dress - I don't think with this jacquard fabric tape would have done anything. Still, highly recommended and loved!!
