Comfy glitz
Dress was more silver than gold, so had to change my accessory plan. Fabric is very light and stretchy with the touching in the right places but the cut out makes it so you cannot wear shape wear. Had to be careful how I was pictured to ensure it was flattering.

This was perfect for a PTA country glam gala on a cold midwestern night. Not itchy and lots of compliments. I am short and it was just long enough. Not sure I would have been comfortable if I was normal size.

Super chic and unique for a work panel. Fabric wrinkled a bit or I would have done 5 stars. Wish there was a second internal button for modesty

Form fitting and flirty
Very thankful that this gorgeous dress zipped up. Got lots of compliments. Would have tried the M to see if it was better as it was a bit tight for my liking. Wonderful quality. Low cut but the high neck lace made it classy enough for a spring legal aid benefit with colleagues.

My only real issue was that the straps were too long and because of how thick the fabric is, I wasn’t able to pin them.

Beautiful fall gown
This was a great gown for this petite reviewer. It was snug but zipped without a second set of hands. Ultimately didn’t wear because my backup was more comfortable and special.

Form fitting formal!
Lots of compliments on this gorgeous gown. Perfect length for this petite lady with reasonable heels. My only complaint was that the aren’t built-in cups. You cannot wear a traditional bra due to the shear parts so I did wear some sticky cutlets but was nervous they’d peak out throughout the night.

Elegant but not particularly comfortable
Not sure why designers don’t use stretchy fabrics anymore. I was super lucky to get this zipped up (thanks hubby) and once I did it fit perfectly and stayed up all night but the boning wasn’t particularly comfortable. Loved the pockets and it is a gorgeous fabric even if it’s not particularly comfortable.

Colorful black tie
Gorgeous color and fabric. Perfect gown for petite women and loved that I didn’t need to wear spanks or a bra. Still unsure how I feel about the sleeves. They seemed really loose and one even fell off! I had to keep safety pinning it throughout the evening. Wish they were a more snug fit to the arm and obviously more attached.

VERY sparkly
I wore this for a cocktail attire philanthropic event and it felt a bit too formal, particularly because it was long on my short body. I also felt it was a bit snug for a small, particularly since I couldn't wear a shorts shaper with the high slit. That said, I got lots of compliments and was able to wear a normal bra - both pluses.

Great black tie gown for petite ladies
Felt glamorous in this gown. It's always hard for me to find floor length for formal occasions as a petite person and this worked great. Slit was a bit high for my preference but didn't stop me from wearing. Fabric is thick--great for New Year's Eve wedding in Chicago-- but had little give. Wish the straps were adjustable because they seemed long and kept falling.
