Great color and easy to wear
I'm a 14 usually, but I squeezed into a 12 so I could wear this without a bra - and it was great! The fabric is sturdy but still drapes.

Springy and pretty dress with pockets
Loved the pockets, of course. The color was also great. The cut isn't low, but it was still too low for the bra I had so I just went without with no problem.

Over the top way to show up for a 1920s party!
The details on this dress are awesome; definitely agreed with the suggestion not to wear a necklace. I do recommend that if you're tall and you have a little junk in the trunk, you go with a long size; I went with 14R and you can see in one of the pictures that it fell a little short on me.

Flattering & structured, easy to dance in!
This fit great; the zipper gets a little stuck near the bottom but it's no problem if you've got a friend nearby. Didn't have any problems with bra straps showing or anything, and it's even got some pseudo-pockets. It might be a little low-cut in the front if you've got big boobs, but everything stayed in place all day for me.

Form-fitted and sparkly
I tried this on in the store, and I think usually I'd go with a 14, but the stylist zipped up the 12 somehow and it looked great! It was very comfortable for a formal dress, and the sparkles were great for a New Year's party.

Just scandalous enough for a work party!
I loved this dress, mostly because it somehow stayed in place no matter which way I bent. It does have a dual-zipper system to keep up appearances, which is great because I didn't have to wear a bra, but a little challenging to put on by myself. In fact, I just ended up having a friend come over to zip me up. Other than that, it fit great and I got lots of compliments. Great for holiday parties!

Loved wearing knee-length black to a wedding (as the violinist!) and great lace detail to show off
This dress is very form-fitted and mushes your body into a lovely hourglass figure. As I said in the headline, the lace detail is great. Perfect length for more formal events.

I wore it to my graduation, and not only did it fit great, but it matched my school color!
It was a very easy fit, not baggy anywhere but not restricting either. The length was a little shorter than I expected, but with short heels, it looked classy and not skanky.

Good for not looking out of place at a fashion show
Great fit, except the arms! Reviewers were not kidding when they said the arms are small; I almost couldn't get the dress closed because I couldn't pull the sleeves high enough. Still, it was a good length and comfortable otherwise.

The double takes!
I wore this for a Gatsby party, and with a little hair wave and some pearls, it's perfect for that. It rode up a little when I walked because it fits snug, but not to the point that it was obscene.
