15 weeks pregnant here and this dress was so fashion-forward and comfy!
Not a dress I'd normally even consider because it seemed to have no shape in the pics. BUT, this was actually the most flattering and fashion-forward dress and I got TONS of compliments. I don't think it added bulk to me at all because the fabric (silk) is so flowy and your shape can still be seen through it. I was 15 weeks pregnant, so this dress was just really comfy too. It would work for anyone - pregnant up to full term and non-preggers people.

the cut is beautiful. I ended up not wearing it though - details are cheap-looking
Really not worth the hefty price tag. Although the cut is amazing and makes you look like Jessica Rabbit, the eye/hook closures on the back were visibly exposed and looked cheap. The zipper didn't have a hook on top causing it to fall down often and the material was very wrinkled. I didn't wear it because it wasn't the easiest dress to wear even though it looked good. No bra needed, be ready to steam this upon arrival, and you cannot lift your arms up (which I guessed would be the case based on the arm cut).

very classy yet sexy
Fit like a glove. Held me in just like spanx and was super comfy all night. The white seam stripes give some pizzazz to a otherwise black/.boring look. At first I thought it looked too casual but then in a sea of black formal dresses that were at the party, I really stood out. Many compliments all night, including "best dress here." I also think this dress looks better on you than on the model they show here.

Looks bulky
The sequins had so much dimension and thickness to them that it added an extra inch around my entire body. End result was a saggy, large looking dress. Don't recommend.

Flattering, beautiful and comfortable
This dress was amazing. Danced all night in it, looked great no matter what angle you stood. Photographed well. I had the 2R, but the 0R would have been best for me. The top was really baggy and required Hollywood Tape, but the tape stuck all night so I had no issues. I loved how I could wear a real bra (I got a low-back one) and I loved how the dress had bra strap holders to snap around your bra strap - it made the dress straps super secure all night and kept the straps of the dress from falling down the shoulders since they were secured to the bra strap. Pure Genius. Dress is really slinky and stretchy and really just felt like I was wearing my comfy clothes to my black tie party!
