For great, was fun
I didn’t end up wearing it and opted for something I had instead, because I was afraid it was too formal for the event. But I really liked it! I was able to eat a bra with it which is so nice.

Straps were too long and unadjustable
I loved the look and feel of this dress but the straps were too long and I couldn’t adjust them, so my bra showed. I tried without a bra, but the straps would still slip off my shoulders. It was overall slightly too big, but I suspect I would have had the same problem with a size 6.

LOVED... except the neck buttons
I have been wanting to love the jumper trend for a while, and I officially fell in love with this one. It was comfortable, it fit well. The legs were long on me because I'm so short but i thought it looked fine, especially with heels. BUT, I could not unbutton the buttons at the back of the neck on my own. The loops they had to go through were too tight. How frustrating to have to get someone else to unbutton you to go to the bathroom! But otherwise, great. I also ordered the 6R but didn't even try it on.

Comfortable and sexy
I really loved this dress. I wore it to a celebratory date with my husband at a fancy restaurant. I planned to wear the six, but it arrived with a broken clasp, so I opted for the four, which was fine. The whole dress fit very comfortably, including the numerous straps. Really enjoyed wearing this.

Conservative enough for a formal-ish affair, but with some sass
The 6 fit pretty well, though I wouldn't have wanted it any tighter on the top. The slits on the side were fun. I wore this to a formal graduation ceremony/dinner.
Juxtaposed Dress

Beautiful dress but ran small
Pros: beautiful color, sexy back, perfect style for a wedding. Cons: the zipper was sticky and hard to zip up, which only made the issue that it was tight in the waist more problematic. In the end, I still really enjoyed wearing the dress and was glad I ordered it, but probably won't again. Also, I used a backless bra for this.

This dress was fun and shiny for a New Years Eve party.
This dress was a little more fitted than I expected, but that worked out fine, and it was great to be able to wear a normal bra. The different colors unfortunately weren't as easy to see in the dim lighting of my party, but I still got compliments!

Festive and fun for a holiday party
The dress fit great, but is very form fitting (and shows anything you might have on underneath - I was wearing tights). It was my first experience with a backless dress and adhesive bra, and it was very successful! Due to the open back and form fitting-ness (and my general modesty) I wasn't as comfortable in it as some other dresses, but it was fun and exciting.

Fun dress to wear to a wedding!
This dress was great! It was light and thin but still a little structured. The front/ neck area felt a little tight at times while the back felt a little loose, but it wasn't a big deal at all. It was overall very flattering and fun to wear.

Great shape and pattern!
I was really excited to wear this dress, and it felt great. I had read that it was 'scuba' material and didn't know what that meant - was it like wetsuit material? If so, was that going to be hot and uncomfortable at the Atlanta wedding I wore it to? It was indeed like wetsuit material, and it was probably warmer than I needed for an 80-degree affair, but it was actually quite comfortable and had a great shape. Overall, it was a great choice. Loved the print and got lots of compliments.
