Itchy & unwearable
The material is neoprene - like a scuba outfit but the edges are rough and anywhere an edge touches your skin it's so itchy that it's unwearable. Also made me look a lot bigger than I am.

Didn't realize you'd need to go braless
The cut is low in back and open in sides so even a lower bra will show. Will have to go braless for this one.

Very Cute + Retro
Reminds me of the 80s! Love it. It looks more lightweight than it is, it's got an inner layer that makes it pretty toasty. The size runs a little smaller than I expected when closed, and although it fits my arms, chest and tummy, it's a little hard to close over my hips, so I have to pull it up to zip it closed. Fantastic quality and really stylish.

Got all the compliments, it was fun to walk around in. Dress was a bit worn though.
The Pros were that the dress was think and substantial, it looked and felt expensive. I did not have to wear a bra - and I always wear a bra after having 2 kids, haha! I got compliments all night on this dress and my shoes. It was fun to walk around in, felt like I had a cape. I'm 5'7" and I had short heels on, I got the long and I'm glad I did, because I wanted it to touch the ground. The pockets are rad, loved that touch. I would buy this dress if I could - but of course it's nowhere to be bought. The Cons were that the waist portion fits a bit weird. I kept having to re-adjust the straps and move the waist around. I guess it's supposed to be tight, but it just kinda lands weird right where your belly button is. Took some getting used to. The biggest Con is that this dress was a bit damaged. There were sections on the front wear someone's jewelry had caught the fabric and there were "runs" in the fabric. Probably not noticeable from the outside, but a bummer when you spend that much on a dress.
