Really loved this dress, ended up wearing the size 8, I have a larger bust and fit better than the 6. Note that I am short waisted so when I sat the shoulders tended to slip off. I went braless but in retrospect probably should have taped the girls up for a better look. I am short and this felt very short in the back, though I am assured it wasn't. When seated most of my thighs and butt were on the chair, as a reference. Taller women may find this to be extremely short. Got many compliments and IT HAS POCKETS. Overall a solid win.

I wanted so badly for this to work but the non-stretch material meant I wasn't able to zip it up across my back because my chest and arms were too large. It's also a very thick material so if you overheat easily (like I do) I don't think there is any easy way to cool down. The embossed pattern on the piece is really lovely but it's not a very forgiving outfit. If you're just going to be standing you'll probably be fine but I would size up if you're a true hourglass.

I loved the pattern of this dress but the fabric is basically like a tissue. I needed this for a work event and felt I was entirely too exposed to wear this. This shows every bump, lump, and curve in a way that I was uncomfortable. I think it would be beautiful for a late summer wedding where it's still quite warm. I didn't feel it was appropriate for my work event with colleagues.

I wanted to wear this dress so badly but unfortunately it was just a smidge too tight in the chest for a busty lady, and also at the hips. An 8 would have been perfect. I loved that the sleeves weren't too tight (another problem I have with non-stretch fabric). Overall it was a beautiful dress and very flattering but I would size up if you're a true hourglass.

Wore this to an opening event at my office, paired with fun earrings and big, stomper patent leather loafers and was so comfy all night. It has just the right amount of stretch for chesty ladies without feeling too revealing for a work event. The material isn't very thick so I wasn't ever overheated. Overall a very flattering fit and would definitely recommend.

I chose to go braless rather than fight with a strapless all night and I think that was the right decision. If you have a chest and hips the under lining can be a bit snug but it has a lot of stretch and never felt too constricting. Definitely recommend for a formal affair I was comfortable all night and had no trouble dancing.
