I didn't wear this.
This was ordered as my back-up dress and I didn't end up wearing it. However, the dress is prettier than the pictures portray. The one layer of fabric is very thin though and has a very bohemian crinkly feel to it. The dress also runs long. I normally wear a 6R, but got a 4R and had I worn it, I would've been worried about slippage all night long as the dress runs large. Also, additional undergarments would've been a necessity on top.

Did not wear this.
This was the original dress I chose, but my size was damaged and not sent. The back-up size was though, and I must say I'm glad I didn't wear this. Both layers of fabric are very thin and even at 5'5" the regular length dress would've shown my shoes. The photo of the dress definitely looks better than it does in reality.

This dress is stunning!!
This dress is absolutely stunning. It fits true to size and like a glove. The color is vibrant and rich. I am very busty (36D) and was worried about the top, but had plenty of room without having to wear any additional support garments underneath. The top of the dress is actually two layers in front, one that fits closely and covers the chest (so there aren't any embarrassing slippages) and the other layer drapes very closely to it. It does fit snugly through the rib cage, but isn't uncomfortable. The boning in the "sleeves" is fairly stiff so I didn't have to worry about them slipping down however, it doesn't allow for raising them above your head far if you are choosing to do so. I'm not a full bottomed girl so I had quite a bit of wiggle room in the hips/bottom area and the dress was easy to sit down in. The length was perfect to wear either flats or a small heel. If you are choosing to wear 4 inch heels, I'd go with the longer length. I only had to do minimal steaming of the bottom of the dress upon arrival. I would definitely recommend this dress!
