Loved it!
I was crossing the street and two women shouted from a passing car, "I love your dress!" Fabulous moment. The dress fit like a glove. I could wear a normal bra and added some spanx to give me a waist.

I received compliments all night
I felt the size was true. The material is clingy and with my tummy pooch a size smaller would have looked terrifying. It is a bit long though. I'm 5'5'' and with 3 inch platform pumps the dress still drug a bit.

A bit snug
The dress was pretty enough, but the belt just sort of hung there limply. I normally wear a 12, but I couldn't get the zipper all the way up. My rib cage is large and combine that with my bust, I wouldn't have been able to breath.

Prim and Proper Bow Dress
Milly
Size Worn: None
Usual Size: 12

Bust: 38D
Beautiful color
The dress fit well from the waist down. Through the bust however, it was snug. There are vertical pleats down the middle of each breast and while I technically fit into the dress, the pleats were pulled tight giving the dress an odd appearance. The dress wrinkles terribly. I wore this to the opera and by the end of the second act, it looked like I had slept in it.

Yikes!
I was so disappointed that I couldn't wear this dress. The slip was WAY too small in the cups. I tried different bras and spanxs, but I couldn't make the dress work and hide the foundation garments. It just didn't fit. Bummer because on the right woman this would be nice.

Elegant
I felt so sexy and romantic in this dress. It fit like a glove. Spanx were required because I'm an apple. It's a head turner.

Tempted by You Gown

Too big in the bust, too small around the ribs.
I wore the dress to the opera and my husband kept telling me beautiful I looked, but I was uncomfortable. My bust is large (dd cups), but I couldn't fill the top out if my life depended on it. I needed two cutlets for each breast and a push up bra to begin to fill in the cups. Oddly, the dress fit too tight through the rib cage. The slit gives the dress beautiful movement when you walk, but wear panties or sitting could become a peep show.

Loved it!
Beautiful dress! The dress was comfortable and elegant. Personally, I felt a little uncomfortable with the way it clung to my tummy. After some spanx, I felt much better. The boatneck requires either a bra with straps far apart or strapless.
