Perfect dress for a beach event
Loved the cut and details of this dress. I was worried that it would extend below my knee since I am only 5'1" but it did not. I will say it looked fantastic standing, but not as great sitting.

Not a shift
You need to be a bean stalk for this to fit the way the model wears it. I wear a 4 in standard stores (gap, loft, etc.) but a 6 in most designers. I reserved the 6 and 8 and both were quite snug around my hips and fit tightly. not the looser look I typically associate with a "shift." Also, the 6 had a hole at the bottom of the zipper where the bottom part of the zipper stuck out like a mini tail.

Gorgeous, but runs small
This was a gorgeous dress. I am between a 4 and a 6, but there was no way this was going to zip all the way up, even with my small bust.

A little big
I was a little nervous wearing this because it could slip off my wrist without undoing the clasp, but it stayed put through a night of dancing anyways.

Great for a Shower
This dress fit true to size. The 4 fit me, but I decided to go with the 6, which was a little but more comfortable. At 5'1" the length was perfect, although a tad short when sitting.

Runs small, draws attention to hips and makes your arms irritated.
This dress ran very small. I am usually between a 4 and a 6 but couldn't get the 6 to zip. If I had worn it, I know the fabric would have irritated my arms. Also, the band and fabric really drew attention to my hips (which I would classify as average) in an unflattering way.

Hugs and shows every curve
This shows/highlights every curve. If you have a little pooch it will show and not look nice.

Woah! NEON Orange!
I got this as part of a mystery bling promotion. This didn't match or compliment the dress at all, but my one star is regardless of that. This necklace is neon orange. I wore it the night before my event with a white Shirt and my husband couldn't stop laughing when he saw me. The color reflected onto the bottom of my chin. You really have to have the right personality and style to pull this off. Otherwise, plan to wear it with camo during deer hunting season.

Doesn't his anything
I rented this as a backup. It doesn't hide any flaws. You see every lump, bump and bulge. The straps were also loose/stretched out and I would have been fiddling with them all night. Glad it was my backup!

Great dress with pockets!
I wore this to an outdoor party with simple black flat sandals. The dress came about an inch or two above my knee. The fit was comfortable. I wear between a 6 and an 8 and ordered an 8 and a 10 based on reviews. The 8 fit comfortably, plenty of room in the sleeve. I probably could have squeezed into a 6. Single ladies: hope you have someone getting ready with you. The cap sleeves make it impossible to zip on your own.

Classy and Comfortable dress
This dress was perfect! Very flattering, the material had some stretch to it so the waist band wasn't a problem. I was able to wear a regular bra and about 2.5" heels.
