Wanted to wear for a date
I wanted to wear this for a date, and it's been hard as I feel I am in between sizes for designers, so this ended up being too small.

Love it
So expensive but I love this dress! Exactly the right cut and I look perfect in it. Gives a lot of structure for people who are mainly box-shaped like myself!

Frumpy and odd

Perfect for swimsuit - navy, not black
This shirt never closed all the way on me but I don’t think it’s supposed to. Didn’t realize that the dark flowers are navy, not black, so didn’t quite match my swimsuit but it was so cute that no one cared. Loved it.

Accentuated my middle
Made my legs and top look great, but didn’t really give me a waist so that area looked like a square. Overall cute.

For average to bigger chested breast size
Wore on a plane for vacation, and when sitting it was too big for my small breast size so there were gaps. Otherwise a nice dress

Odd fit
Was hoping it would look like a flowing tiered maxi but ended up looking odd. People loved the fabric and it was well made, just a little odd that added up into not a very sophisticated look

Bulky skirt did not hide tummy
The bulky shirt part was still too tight?? Very grumpy with extra hip fabric I didn't need...just all in the wrong places

I have never looked so amazing and natural! I love this dress and its fit.
If you carry a lot of weight in the middle and don't exactly have a huge décollage than this is the dress for you. Fits perfectly, hides everything without looking like it's trying to hide anything, very shapely and form fitting in all the right ways. Tons of compliments on this!

Complex simplicity
The simple little black dress is a must-have, and this one hits the mark for that perfectly with the plain silhouette. The sleeves are more beautiful in person, with an intricate design that create a "wow" look as everything else about the dress provides a backdrop. While it is lace, there is a thickness in the way the material moves that proves its luxury. A definite winner I want to buy!

Flappy arms!
I loved the bells on this otherwise very plain presenting dress. They were made of a heavier material than the dress that caused them to flute out. However, the heavy black stitching inside the bell sort of ruined the floaty look of them. This will work well with a statement necklace. The back peak of lace seems unbalanced somehow but the fit is good. I don't have wide hips so that part did not flare out as much as it draped making me feel there was a missed opportunity for POCKETS!!

Drapey fun
I am very tall, with a long torso and legs, so it takes a bit of work to find something that fits. Long dresses can work, but the draping at the waist hit the wrong spot for my body. The material is very warm and will probably make me feel too hot, so I think I'll be sending it back even though my husband said my backside looked "fetching"

Formal gothic, classy
I loved the hems of this, frayed into distinct points and a detail I wasn't expecting. Buttons are marvelous, and the skirt is a heavy material. Seemed like it wasn't dry-cleaned before it got to me, with a small oil stain on the bodice and make-up on the collar next to the clasp...
