Great dress for a night of eating and being fabulous!
Got this dress for my 35th birthday dinner, and it was perfect. Not boring, forgiving in the stomach/pooch area, and made me feel grand. I'm usually an 8 on the bottom and 6 on top, depending on the style, so the 6 was a great fit for me. Highly recommended!

Hanging Beads Dress

Beautiful dress, best for hourglass or proportionate bodies, hard to wear without a bra
I got this as a backup but didn't end up wearing it out because I didn't have a special bra to hold the girls in place. As a pear shape, this didn't do much for me, even if I had the right undergarments, so I decided not to go out and purchase a new bra. But honestly, the dress itself was gorgeous.

Broken Glass Dress

Lovely fit, but I agree with some other reviewers that the drape was not below the hem, but pretty much in line with it (size 6). The beading was beautiful, but if you are planning on wearing a shawl or wrap, be careful because it can catch on the beading. The top fit nicely for a B-cup. The fringe had seem some better days, but nothing a quick trim couldn't fix.

Good fit, but this was my back up dress that I didn't end up wearing. I thought there would be more rouching from the waist to the crotch area, but it ended up being a little too tight and showed off my pouch and odd hip-bones. It would look great on someone with smoother curves than I.

Thats So Fringe dress
Mark & James by Badgley Mischka
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 4"
Gorgeous dress, also comes with detachable straps (not mentioned on website). Definitely runs a couple inches tighter than "true to size" - I had to break out the Spanx and not bend down or eat a lot at the wedding I went to. Bummer. I'm a B-cup and the top was snug but not tight - I wouldn't recommend for the medium- to large-chested ladies.
