Classy, stylish look
Good length for fun+comfort, stretchy fabric and longer 3/4 sleeves were almost long sleeves on my short arms

Pretty pinkish red and comfortable
Sleeves were a little long for my short arms: fit is very boxy so if you want a tailored look this won't get you there. But it's a fun jacket paired with slim black pants. Shiny but not overly loud

Subtle sparkle glam that's easy to wear
The gown is sparkly without being garish. Beautiful drape in back. Length was perfect for 3" heels (I am just over 5'4") if you want to be able to move and dance with the small train. I was able to fit into the 0 pretty easily but I don't like a tight fit in gowns so size 2 was better

Fabric is pretty but wrinkles like crazy
This dress was ok as far as overall fit, but for my long-ish torso the waist sat too high and the wrap around sash wouldn't stay in place. Also the sleeves were too long for my arms and the whole look just ended up being sloppy

Length is good with 2" heels; low cut front was fine for small chested me, but might not work for larger cup sizes.

Very feminine
Pretty fabric, comfortable fit. I hadn't noticed that the long sleeves are actually slit open so it's not a warm dress at all, but it's a nice touch. The neckline is low for my taste, but fine for most people probably

Many compliments all evening!
The material is even prettier in person than it appears in the photos. Nice length for dancing. Front is low cut but stayed in place on my small bust (36A) and was flattering. Very comfortable, yet fairly formal looking and just sexy enough for a middle aged gal.

Very elegant, classy despite all the sequins
I usually wear a 2P and am 5' 4.5"; I ordered the 2P but wore the 0R (my back up size) because it fit much better, making me think this dress runs a little large. The 0R was fitted but not tight at all. The sleeves and length were just a hair longer than ideal for me but I have short arms and legs for my height. It was a comfortable formal with a beautiful back and I was able to dance in it.

Sexy but elegant
This dress was perfect for the occasion (formal ball). The length was just brushing the floor in 2" heels, which I wore because I wanted to dance. The dress has a lot of stretch and is easy to put on by yourself. I wore a strapless bra which worked fine. I loved how the cut of this dress made my pretty straight figure look more curvy. It definitely accentuates whatever curves you have!

This dress is classy and a gorgeous, elegant red color. Very figure-flattering.
I wore the larger back up size; the dress has little give and if you like a very tight fit to your gowns you may not be able to get it on! The larger size was perfect; I have an athletic shape with a long torso, short legs and small waist and breasts (36A), and this style was very flattering. I wore a nu bra and hose underneath. The length was perfect for walking and dancing (just grazing the floor in 2.5 inch heels).

Stunning show stopper
This is a gorgeous gown and I was stopped all night with compliments. This in a room full of beautiful people! More importantly, my partner was wowed, which is not easy to do. I wore it for a formal event with an emerald theme. It is a beautiful deep green. The sequins are done exquisitely well and the mermaid train is so graceful. Just the right length for dancing in 3" heels. The black fabric armholes mean that it's not scratchy as sequins often are. This dress might not look just right if you are large busted or very long waisted; it has a little give but not much overall, and none in the waist band.

Cute and sexy
This dress fit well in the hips and bust, but was a little loose around the armholes and at the waist. I also tried the XS, which was too tight in the ribs. I wore it with a nubra which seemed to work well; without the bra it made me look flat chested. It looked good though; I have short legs and a long torso and the proportions were just right for that shape. I danced a lot in it & it is comfortable. It rides up just a little with dancing but not too bad. Got compliments on the back and sleeves. A fun little black dress.

Sexy, comfortable and easy to dance in!
This dress was sent as a replacement for the dress I ordered, since that one was apparently too damaged to be worn again. I felt lucky! It has enough weight to feel well made, but not so much to weigh you down. Perfect length with 2 1/2 inch heels (I am a shade over 5'4"). It's a really special (conservative + hot) black formal & I got tons of compliments. Shows off your shoulders, arms and torso; not as fitted as I like in the waist.

This is a fabulously elegant dress that is comfortable to wear
The color is almost a rose gold, and the dress fit my (very minimal) curves without binding. The sequins under the arms are only slightly scratchy. I wore this to a dance and people said I looked like Ginger Rogers in it! Length was perfect in 3" heels--just brushing the ground. The back detail hangs really beautifully.

I felt fabulous in this dress
This dress is so flattering! It is classy and flashy at the same time.I am very skinny and straight but this dress made me look shapely. I wore it to a formal dinner at the Wynn in Las Vegas and it was perfect for that, even in a sea of high end formal wear. It is comfortable too; I was able to wear a regular bra and the armholes are cut just right so the sequins don't irritate...I was able to dance, no problem. I am a little over 5'4" and the length just brushed the floor (about 1/2") in 3" heels. I can't wait to have occasion to wear this one again.

Quietly sexy.
I wore this for a night of casino fun at the Wynn in Las Vegas. So I definitely didn't stand out in this dress in that venue! It is a sexy dress, but in a very subtle way. It would be perfect to show of your curves and legs if you are going to be looked at for some other reason (an award, or your birthday); but it is a classy dress that doesn't draw the eye.

Very easy to wear!
It was comfortable but looked good. I don't have much curve anywhere but I looked like I did in this dress. I usually wear a 0 but in this dress the 2 fit better in the chest and rib cage and allowed the raunching to hang better over my hips. Definitely order a size up for your back up if you are larger than an A cup!

Feminine and classy
From the neckline down, the fit was perfect; has some give but is form fitting. Unfortunately the straps are set very wide apart on the neck line and kind of gave me a broad shouldered look. I have relatively broad shoulders for my bust size so that could have been why. Also, beware if you have a long torso and shorter legs for height, as I do--even in 4 inch heels this dress was hard to walk and dance in because of length; I am almost 5'5" and even in front it dragged on the floor at least an inch. Overall, though, I was happy with the elegance, color and style.

This was a stylist surprise and it was a very nice surprise!
Very nice size; large enough for iphone 4 plus make up touchups and ID case, but still small enough to be elegant. The gold was perfect with the purple sequined gown I rented, since it was for a mardi gras themed party. Might be a little blingy for a more toned down affair, but I was happy.

Really stunning elegant knockout gown.
I loved everything about the fit except the length--only because after a long day on my feet I just couldn't put on the 4" heels that would have made it perfect (I am 5'4 with longer torso and shorter legs). It is pretty broad in the shoulders but that worked fine for me. I wore the dress to a dancing event and it was very comfortable to move in! It has a sort of small train in the back that is just as graceful as can be.

This dress looked gorgeous and was comfortable and easy to dance in, too! I loved wearing it.
The dress was quite long on me (am 5'4 and it was a little long even with 4 inch heels) but otherwise fit like a glove. I think if you have more curves (I don't) the lenght won't be an issue. I usually have to wear padding on top to make clothes fir right, but this dress didn't really require that with the bult in. You can wear a regular strapped bra with it. The sleeves sat up fine. It is very sexy & fun to wear.
