Elegant and perfect for a formal event
I absolutely loved this off the shoulder, classic look and was thrilled to find this dress. It did not disappoint for a wedding in Paris this summer. I am 5"10 and usually wear a size 4 or 6, I ordered both and was happy to have the 4. I have a small chest (34B) and was glad to have the smaller size to help it stay up. I also wore a padded strapless bra but I think you could have also worn it with stickies or no bra because it was very structured. Even though I am tall, I wore small, 2.5" heels and even with those the length was not a problem in a R. Even though the dress was nicely structured, it was very comfortable. The cutaway made it great for dancing at the wedding too, which was nice to not have to worry about with a traditional longer dress. The material and colors looked great, exactly as pictured. When the dress arrived, it was in mint condition and ready to wear. Above all, I the dress just made me feel amazing, it's one of my favorite dresses and I would highly recommend! Go for it!!!

Comfortable, classy, and flattering!
I am 5'10 and typically a size 4 or 6, and the size 6 fit perfectly! I did not order a back up size as the 6 was the only one available. I read the reviews that said that it runs a little small, but it wasn't a problem. I have a smaller chest 34B (B on a good day, small chested ladies, you know how that goes...) and was happy to have a padded, strapless bra. I also used safety pins to help secure the top for a long night of dancing at a wedding. In addition, I wore a SPANX thong that made me feel very comfortable, but I think the dress would have been fine without shapewear. The color is great, a very flattering aqua or turquoise color. I would caution anyone looking for a more formal cocktail event, that the fabric is not as formal. I loved it for it's flattering, forgiving and structured feel that was also very comfortable, but it was more of a rigid jersey material, that gave the dress a less formal look. Still, very appropriate for a summer wedding in the south.
