Perfect for a formal winter wedding
The pros: The dress looks great on just about every body I've seen it on. There is a built-in bra! The sleeves have a little rubber lining so they stay where you put them, no worries about droopy sleeves. The length was perfect for me at 5'6" in 2.5" heels. The material is flexible and moves with you, even has a little give to it. The cons: I definitely had to size up. I am a size 12 through and through and the 12 didn't even want to zip over my ribcage and bust. Going up to just the 14 worked perfectly. The sequins at the top were just moderately irritating, but nothing intolerable, and nothing that left any kinds of marks. Definitely a beautiful dress. Not one I'd go for again, but it worked for the formal wedding I attended.

Flowy, fun and fabulous
I usually wear a 12 and gathered from other reviews that getting a size down for my backup size would be a good choice. It was! The 10 fit a bit tighter around the bust, but since it's such a flowy dress, it was perfect everywhere else. It's not a very stretchy material, but it's lightweight and great for any outdoor event. I paired with a hot pink necklace and it really helped all the colors pop.

Fun and flattering, but great for everyday
I wore this for Easter weekend, and it ended up being chillier than expected. This dressed down nicely with tights, boots and a cardigan. I will caution that the fabric has little to no give. I was afraid when I first put it on that it'd never make it over my hips/bust, but once it got in place and I was zipped, it fit -- but like a glove. I would recommend getting a size up for your backup size if you've got any curves at all. It's also rather short, so I would not recommend if you plan on doing any arm lifting -- at all. I did love this dress, though, and received many compliments.

Perfect fit, casual but comfortable, and pockets!
I LOVE this dress! Definitely one I would wear again and even consider buying. Wore it for Easter and it was perfect. Would also dress up nicely with a cardigan or other cover-up. The length hit just below the knee, and the straps even had the little hooks in them to keep a regular bra in place and from slipping down your shoulders. It was very flattering, easy to move in, and the fabric had lots of give and stretch to it. Recommend 100%.

Made A Statement
The texture and weight were as expected, but the fit was SO TIGHT. I thought wearing a 10-12 dress size I'd feel pretty comfortable in the Large with the XL as a backup. Not the case. Even the XL felt super tight. It's difficult to wear with a bra, but it can be done. I just used some pins to keep my straps off to the side and the clasp low enough in the back. Nice for the night, but won't be wearing again and would definitely recommend to size up.

Perfect for Winter Wedding
The material was nice and thick and stretchy, and paired with tights, leggings or hosiery makes it perfect for a winter event! I was nervous for a higher cut waist, since that usually makes busty girls look top heavy, but I was pleasantly surprised with how flattering it was! And the peek-a-boo window with the deep V in the front is just enough to be sexy, but not too much to be falling out all over the place. Definitely recommend this to curvy and busty girls.

Sparkles and Shines
Loved the silver sparkle and wow factor of this dress! The underlay adds a nice pop of navy. Sometimes the underlay would extend beyond the silver mesh, but it wasn't bad and it wasn't anything that a pin couldn't help. This was the perfect dress for a New Year's wedding.
