A bit baggy
All my other size 8 dresses fit perfectly, maybe it had more to do with it not being sleeveless but it was baggy on top and gapped in the back and the sleeves over my shoulders. So if you’re busty then you’ll probably fill it out better. It was pretty and I liked the skirt the top just made it look blah on me.

Unique and Gorgeous
I wore this to an office cocktail party. I got the size M with L as a backup but last minute they couldn’t send me the M. I am short so the L was really too long in the torso and the leg length it also was a bit large in the bust so I was worried about gaping and slipping so used fashion tape. The fabric is so comfortable and stretchy that I know the medium would have fit me perfectly. But the dress looked so good anyway and I got compliments all night long so I can’t be too upset. Don’t be afraid to size down if you’re in between sizes.

Can’t complain
Another beautiful dress I wish I had more events to wear them all to. Great quality the bow was pretty without being too much. The color was not quite right for me and I wanted more of a sexy cocktail party vibe for my event so I went with another dress but I’d definitely rent one like this if it was in a different t color.

Pretty Formal Gown
This dress is gorgeous. The only reason I didn’t wear it was because this was an office Xmas party and I wanted to be more cocktail sexy than formal. The cape accent is very cute. The dress is made to drape on you not be skin tight. I have an hourglass figure and in the correct size the dress looks beautiful. I am short so, for me it was floor length and the torso was a little long and was doing some folding at my waistline, but that is typical unless I can find a petite cut. I would highly recommend this for a formal affair.

Classic look
This was a great dress with a beautiful fit. Very high quality, nice shape and fabric. The pattern was a little bit busy and old fashioned so I went with another option but all and all this dress was great. Pretty, classic, modest look.

Beautiful and airy
I had no issues with this dress it was very beautiful. It had lovely airy fabric and hung very nicely it was quite elegant without being too formal. I did not wear it to my event because I was looking for something a little more impressionable. I would definitely take this on a beach vacation to wear to a nice dinner.

Beautiful Stand Out
This was a great dress for an outdoor rooftop wedding! I got so many compliments and requests for where I got it. The fit was beautiful and flattering and the fabric was perfect for holding the shape without being too heavy. I had no problems with it staying up through the night of dancing and chasing my daughter around. Great construction in the bodice.

Beautiful and Flattering
This dress was stunning and fit perfectly. Well it was long but that's my fault because I'm only 5' tall but with high heels it just missed the floor. The fabric is beautiful and thick enough to give good shape without overdoing it. I ended up wearing my backup dress because this was a little too fancy for my actual event (work holiday party) but I would definitely wear it for something a little more formal. Also it has pockets that you can't tell are there which is always a bonus.

Great Dress for Work Holiday Party
I thought it fit and looked great. The photos don't really show how shiny it is. I did not have a problem with the arm length which I was worried about, being only 5' tall a can't usually wear long sleeve dresses unless I can get a petite size. I paired it with tights and booties which dressed it down a bit. I think it could look a lot classier bare/stocking legged and with heels but I wasn't feeling like glamming it up too much for my event.

Cute but bot what I was going for
I did like the style of this dress it was fun and different. In the picture I am wearing the 6 which was a little baggy on me but the 4 was too toght too toght around my bust. I am either an inbetween size or just shaped a little off for the way it was cut. I ended up wearing my backup dress because I thought overall the style and fit was what I was looking for. But this dress was great quality and I would recommend it to anyone.

Retro cut with modern flare
This dress was awesome! I loved the different fabrics and details. On my short frame it's length looked sophisticated but it's style made it a edgy. There was a little bunching in the torso so if your short with an exceptionally short torso this will probably not work. I loved the silhouette it created. The fabric had give to it so comfort was not a problem. I wore a strapless bra with it no problem. My only complaint is that where the bottom net material met the fabric the edges of the netting were poking through and they rubbed my legs as I walked. At first this was only irritating but as the night went on it literally scratched me raw and hurt like I was 2hrs into a tattoo season I have the broken capillaries to prove it.

Runs large is no joke
I got this as a back up style and thought I heeded peoples advice that it runs large. I got it in a 6 which are usually a tight on me but work better with my height. This 6 was not tight on me at all! It was too large in the torso, about an inch of room, so it didn't have the slimming corset effect I like. I would suggest sizing down then getting a backup even smaller if you really like it. It is beautiful and the fabric is luxurious and has a little give to it so a tighter fit should still be comfortable. I would have liked to see a little more of those splashes of the bright blue under fabric and I suspect that on taller girls the train would show it off nicely. Defiantly a great dress for the short and curvy, did not bunch up in the torsos on me and the length was not awkward.

Beautiful and elegant perfect for a formal wedding or party.
This fit me perfect and looked amazing. It was comfortable and I didn't have to worry about it slipping even when dancing. I tried the size 6 and it cut in at my armpits and didn't look good so I would suggest not being afraid to try a larger size of this happens to you because the 8 didn't have that problem and looked great all over. Was floor length on my short frame but I still could of worn flats and not stepped on the dress. This was definitely worth!

Beautiful but went with another selection.
It was very finely made and mostly looked great. The only problem was the torso was too long for me. I'm short so no surprise. It bunched up in the back because of this. But I'm sure it would look perfect on someone just a little taller. I may try it again in a smaller size for a less formal wedding in April.
