Too small in the bust and not able to wear for event (graduation). I wear a 36E and it didn't work.
The dress is smaller in the bust and has a high (almost empire) waist. Not the most flattering for us curvy girls. Looked different in person than on the model. The fabric is simple cotton - sweet for a bridal shower or company picnic but not for more formal events.

SEXY! I wore this to a fundraising event and needed something that was evening, cocktail, and not too loud. This dress was perfect -- the sequins are delicate and beautiful, and the slit up the back is sexy without being brash. The long sleeves make the dress -- sleeveless it would just be clubwear, but the sleeves elevate it to something more diverse and interesting. Also cozy out in the cool evening air! One thing to watch -- very little waist tailoring. This was snug on my bust and hips and looser through the waist. Definitely added a few pounds, but overall very happy with the dress. My search for a sexy, classy, waist nipping dress continues.....

The fit of the dress was great on my full bust & hips. The color was much more muted than in the pictures -- not nearly as vibrant as expected. Additionally, the fabric is stretchy jersey and honestly looks cheap. I ended up not wearing the dress and instead wearing something from my closet since it was such a disappointment. :(

GREAT dress -- fun and festive. The fabric is stunning. Problem was there is NO waist tailoring -- the dress is straight up and down. With boobs and hips, I ended up looking pudgier than I am because there was no waist definition. The dress was too short (and busy) to add a belt. Great dress, not super flattering unless you have a straighter figure. If you are self-conscious about your belly or have slim hips, this is a GREAT, SEXY dress.
