Perfect for college graduation
I wasn't sure I'd like this dress, but when it arrived, I loved it! Very well-made, and as other reviewers also mentioned, the material is perfect for summer: lightweight, very breathable. It was the perfect length for my college graduation ceremony, hit just above the knee (I'm 5'8''). A little tight across the chest, but not uncomfortable (34D/DD).

Your boyfriend will love this
This is a fun dress that will make you look like a bombshell, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything on the fancier side. I didn't really love the material--it made me feel sort of like I was wearing a Halloween costume and not a nice cocktail dress (but I didn't notice any other reviewers feeling this way, so maybe it's just me!). If you're going for a sexy look though (or there's someone you want to impress), then you can't go wrong here. Also, I ordered the M, with the L as backup. The L had a broken zipper, so that made the choice of which to wear pretty easy. The M fit, but it was very snug, so size up if you don't like your dress skin tight.

Beautiful dress, but careful if you're busty
I received this as a back up, because one of the sizes in the style I ordered was not available. I received the 4 (I normally wear a 6), and it didn't zip over my rib cage (I wear a 34D or DD). It's also very low cut, so you will have a lot of (possibly unflattering) cleavage if you have a full bust. That said, this dress is totally gorgeous and very well made--one of those dresses I WISH I could wear, but my body type just doesn't work well for it.

Simple but interesting white dress
Rented the 6 and the 4 (as back up based on other reviews saying this runs a little large). Didn't end up receiving the 4, but I don't think it would have fit my bust anyway, as the 6 was pretty snug (I'm between 34D and DD). This is a great dress overall; the cut outs are unique and make it a little sexier. I thought it was a good length for me with a pair of short (~2'') heels on--hits about mid-thigh (I'm 5'8''). The dress wasn't as fitted in the hips/thighs as it looks on the model, which I didn't really like at first, but wasn't a deal-breaker. The material is very nice--thick enough that you don't have to worry about underwear/bra showing through, but still light enough for spring/summer.

Wore it to a sorority formal...
…Ordered a back up size down (based on other reviews) and ended up going with that, so I'd recommend getting your back up a size down as well. I wear a 34D or DD and the size 4 fit well up top without being too loose everywhere else (which is usually my problem). I'd definitely recommend it as a classy but still sexy dress that works for busty girls.
