Beautiful, elegant, yet sexy!
LOVED this dress. Was definitely nervous as it's out of my comfort zone and a different style than I'd normally wear, but wow, it was a hit. Sexy enough without being too much and still very elegant. I got compliments all night. I'd say it's true to size/runs a tad small. I'm normally a 4 and I wore the 10L (US 6), I'm 5'6 and had 5 inch heels and the length was perfect. I got the 12L (US 8) as backup (based on reviews) and it was too big. The 10L/US 6 was perfect and not too tight either so I could sit, eat, and dance comfortably but still fit well around my curves and body. Definitely use double sided fashion tape. Would highly recommend.

Couldn't wear it =(
Unfortunately I couldn't wear this dress because the bust part was a little too small for me. I am 8 months pregnant and they were out of the one size up I should've gotten. I ordered my previous size but I guess my chest grew a little so it did not zip up all the way. It was such a gorgeous dress and I will probably rent it again when I'm not pregnant. Such a beautiful material and color.

Did not wear but would recommend.
This is the dress that came instead of my selected gown. They sent me this in a 4L instead probably because it looked similar. The fit was definitely better but the style of the gown is a little older for my style/taste. It was still very nice and elegant. I did not end up wearing it though.

Gorgeous earrings. Bigger than expected but still nice.
Very nice pair of earrings. Dazzled up the simple black gown. I opted for no necklace since these were pretty big and long but still elegant and simple.

This dress was very elegant and great for a formal wedding.
I originally ordered a 4L and 6L but I think there was a glitch in the system because I only received the 6L. It was a little big for me but I wore 2 bras and tucked in the sides closer to the bras so it became tighter. The dress looked beautiful and elegant and I got tons of compliments. I do wish it was a 4 though because I had to lift up the dress many times throughout the night. Still beautiful though.

Ruched Sweetheart Gown

Comfortable, compliments, and class.
This dress fit great and was so beautiful on. I ordered a 4R and 6R. They both fit similarly but the 4R was too short so I went with the 6R for the perfect length, wearing about 4-5 inch heels. I received compliments all night, even from strangers. It was easy to dance in and accentuated all my curves in the right places. One con, which I read about prior, was getting poked by the boning in the center but it was not too bad.

Ordered as a backup and almost wore it!
I ordered this as my backup dress for my engagement party. The fit was great and so was the color but since it was for my engagement, I went with my first choice of a red dress. This came close and I'd definitely rent this for a different occasion.
