Beautiful color and interesting cut out.
The dress was very fitted but not too tight and runs to size (though by the end of dessert I could have used a larger size). It was comfortable and easy to pair with statement earrings. A strapless bra is best. Loved the cut out and got a lot of compliments on that small detail. It is not at all overly 'see-through' for a wedding.

The dress was a great, preppy style perfect for Kentucky Derby.
The dress fit well everywhere- length looked good with flat sandals, v-neck was flattering, and the material had good structure. I wore some bright accessories with gold accents. I had compliments on the dress from many people who usually don't comment on that type of thing.

Perfect colors for a desert wedding
The dress was snug around the ribcage and does not have a lot of stretch, I recommend going up a size. That said, the colors, length, and fit of the straps made it a perfect look for a colorful outdoor wedding.

Lovely color and the fabric was high-quality to be flattering while fitted
The dress is fitted but as mentioned, the fabric was thick enough to be flattering. I loved the neckline and had compliments on the color. I wore the dress with some 3" heels and it was a good length for my height with a petite sizing.

Details like the neckline embellishments and color led to tons of compliments!
Fit was perfect- draped well, no underarm gaps, length was perfect with heels, the fabric weight was good for a winter wedding. Wore a strapless bra and 3" heels, did not need spanx with the thicker fabric.

Bright Lily colors- perfect for Derby Day
The dress had a lot more "pouf" on the bottom than I thought from the picture but it was perfect for a Derby party. I did wear some spandex shorts underneath for extra coverage going up and down stairs! Pretty good fit, not the best neckline on me personally but the pattern worked for the "theme."

The dress was perfect for a black-tie wedding- gorgeous color and fit
The color was beautiful and it was snug-fitting without being too tight. The top has underwire in the bodice which makes it very structured (even without a bra) and I never felt like I needed to pull up the dress, as is typical with a strapless dress. I'm 5'4" and wore 3 inch heels and the thinner, top layer was still too long- I spent a lot of time holding it up while dancing. I would have ordered a petite if available.

Gorgeous dress, perfect for a formal summer wedding!
Beautiful color and fabric quality, I love how the color changed in lighting. During the bright daylight, it was more of a fuchsia while it look darker red/maroon at night. I received a lot of compliments on the dress overall look and specifically the color. The size 2 fit better except for across the bust for anyone slightly smaller. I haven't worn a 2 in anything in awhile (usually 4-6 in dresses) so it runs a bit large. It hit right at the knee, just a little longer than I usually go for but not an awkward length by any means.
