Not for the short girlies
Length and style were deeply unflattering. I can see how this looks great on the tall and lithe, but on this short(ish) and plump(ish) gal, it was a travesty.

This dress is everything!
Truly feels like a sweatshirt, looks like sequins. This dress is amazing - actually comfortable yet black tie appropriate. I wore the XL because it was the only size available but would have preferred the L - the sleeves were a little long, the waist a little too low. But it didn’t matter bc this dress still looks so good on. I just pulled the sleeves down periodically so the shoulder pads didn’t look weird. Wore my hair down and it did not snag in the sequins. If you’re considering this dress, go for it! And don’t worry too much about the sizing - too big, too small, you’ll still look like a million bucks.

Stunner
Sexy Greek goddess vibes with the deep neckline, but not over the top revealing with the long sleeves and no slit in the skirt. Beautiful garnet color that is flattering on all skin tones. The 8 fit me perfectly. I didn’t end up wearing this one because I would have needed feet of fashion tape to keep the top secure and didn’t want to be thinking about what my boobs were doing the whole night. Really gorgeous and flattering dress though!

Perfect dress for wedding rehearsal and dinner.
Overall: Lovely dress that can really be used for a wide range of casual-slightly formal events. I wore this to a wedding rehearsal and dinner, and wore flat sandals. This dress could easily be worn with nice heels to dress up the look. The dress doesn't have much structure, so perhaps not a real evening look, but the material has enough heft + a liner that it still looks very nice. Keep in mind: this dress is open-backed, and the opening is kind of large. Be prepared to go bra-less, or use adhesive bra. Pros: Pattern is beautiful and offers so many styling choices. Cons: The open back is a bit more open than I expected, and can be a bit gap-y. Highlights: Love this dress!

Gorgeous, classic dress!
Overall: The shape of this dress is very flattering for any figure - the skirt started right at my natural waist and helped accentuate it. Length hits a bit above the knee, so very appropriate for a wedding-type event. The overall look is sexy, but the cut and style is family-friendly. I have a small bust, so the top fit well. I could see that being a squeeze for those with a larger bust. Plenty of room to accommodate any size hips. Pros: Classic look, flattering to many body types, received many compliments! The material does not stretch, but the only tight part is right at the waist. The waistline allows for tummy expansion after a large meal :) Cons: The material does not stretch, so you just have to be careful when sitting down because the back of the skirt moves up. Highlights: The understated sheen in the material is such a nice touch. You can wear this with minimal accessories (I chose pearl earrings + bracelet) and it still looks gorgeous. The simple design would also allow for more interesting shoe/purse/jewelry options as well.
