This gorgeous dress is also comfortable and forgiving.
At 5 months postpartum not everything is back where I want it to be but I still felt sexy in this beautiful dress. To be clear, this is a sweater dress but not casual by any means. The lace detail is a bit see through making it great for a date night but probably not a church event.

Pretty dress and good physical fit, but design isn't totally flattering
I LOVED this dress in the website photos, but when I tried it on, I wasn't totally impressed. Though the physical dress fit quite well, the lace pattern and seaming looked a little odd. Perhaps I just have a short torso, but the seam that cuts across the waist was almost as low as my hips and made me look a little shapeless.

Not excited about the fit of this dress.
The fit of this dress really wasn't good for someone of my stature. I rented a medium but I found that the straps were far too long, and as a result, the "hang" of the dress was very unflattering - and I'm not exceptionally short at 5'4". I would guess that you need to be at least 5'6" to really pull this off. Big bummer since it's a really fun, glamorous dress.

Supports the girls, trims in the waist, and shows off the legs. What's not to love?
I ordered a 6 and an 8 in the dress and ultimately went with the smaller of the two. I just LOVE the waist line - it really gives you an hourglass shape. The fabric is nice and light, but the top has fantastic structure and gives a really slim look. Looks great with aqua and gold accessories.

Mostly true to size...
I LOVE this dress, but I was so sad that I wasn't able to get quite the right fit. The skirt has very little give, so if you carry most of your weight in your hips, I would buy the next size up. I typically wear a 6 or 8, but I suspect that I'm really between an 8 and 10 in this dress. I'm going to give it another shot in a few weeks because I really want to wear it!

Perfect for summer parties!
I'm going to pretty much copy Wendy's review from May 30th and say that the fit is relatively true to size (I usually wear a 6 or 8), though the top is a little snug and if you're larger than 36C, it probably wouldn't fit.The belt is perfect for creating an hourglass shape and the swingy skirt is great if you're larger in the hips. This dress is made for summer parties: bright color, light texture, and totally girly.
