This dress is super cute and was perfect in theory for my New Year's Eve party in Vegas. However, I could not enhance my bust with chicken cutlets or a bra due to the stringy straps and low back. The gathered section at the belly actually pulls the dress away from the body, so it didn't cling to me in the right places and actually accented my waist in a bad way. I didn't wear the dress. :(

This dress is very comfortable and let me breathe. The neckline and overall detail was very interesting, so I kept my accessories simple. It was great for the spring wedding I attended.

I loved this dress for a summer wedding I attended. I actually wore the small to church because it covered more of my legs. The only problem is that I'm small up top and had to use fashion tape to make sure the strapless side stayed up. Then I switched into the XS for the reception - the dress was shorter but the top part was perfect for my small bust.

I ordered the size 0 and 2 as my backup. I received a call on the night before my dresses were supposed to arrive (on Friday) to learn that the 0 was unavailable, and that I was free to choose 1 or several other options for rush delivery on Saturday morning. I still received the backup size 2, which was too large for me. I think the 0 would have fit perfectly for me, so it's true to size. It's very festive, so it's definitely more of a nighttime party dress. I ended up wearing another option that they rushed to me.

I. Love. This. Dress! It's so chic and if I didn't care so much about wearing dresses twice, I'd wear this again. :) The 0 fit me well, and I wish I ordered the size 00 as a backup. The waist was a bit too loose and didn't cinch my waist, so I used a belt to do the job. The sleeves were a bit limiting so fist pumping was kept to a conservative chest level. I wore it with chunky, multi-level pearls. The dress hit mid-thigh, and yes it was a light lilac color with black stripes and lace.

I paired this dress with black patterned tights (much like the model in the photo) and black patent leather pointed pumps. The dress was extremely comfortable throughout the night - I could eat, drink, and dance without worry. The deep V is remedied by a built in navy tank that barely shows but is there for coverage. The belt was a cute addition to the dress.
