I wore this to work a few times and got a lot of compliments. I didn't find it difficult to put on—the buttons are decorative and it should be worn as a wrap. I am generally a size 8 and found the sleeves to be a little bit long. I could have probably sized down to a size 6.

I think this would be stunning on the right person. The fit wasn't great for me. I was a bit confused by the gold buttons on the sleeves. They're very heavy and I think take away from the fabric. Try it if you like wrap-around dresses.

I got this as an alterative to wearing sweatpants while I work at home and do errands. It would be a great dress for brunch or a summer party. I sized up because the 10 that I usually wear wasn't available. It was a bit loose though I'm an apple shape and it fit my midsection well. It's fun to wear at home but was way too long to wear out. I'll definitely try it again in a 10.

I got compliments from friends (and even some women in the ladies room!) all night. I had to go a size up because of a tight fit around the chest. With 4" heels the R was too short and the L skimmed the floor a little more than I would have liked but other than that the fit was perfect. The dress is extremely flattering—the boning, under layer material, and sequins combine perfectly to hug curves and forgive bulges. The seam between top and bottom hit the perfect spot to accentuate a beautiful waistline. The color was beautiful and stood out in a sea of black dresses.
