Made for small chests!
This is a gorgeous dress- so bummed that it didn't work. The four and the six both fit great in the waist, but I needed help to zip the six up around my chest (36A) without a bra. Once zipped, I looked like I was uncomfortable and smooshed (both true). Bummer.

Feeling like a broad
This dress made me feel broad and matronly - while accentuating a non-concave belly. The line across the top of the dress liner does a fantastic job of making my slightly broad shoulders even bigger, while the waist pulls in just at the right spot to make me feel like I have a gigantic belly. So - broad shoulders and a fat belly... It is not going to the wedding with me! This would be better for someone tall and narrow. The 4 didn't fit in my arms, the 6 fit well. I like the v- back, back zipper and color. Pockets could be left out - as they are too high and only add fabric in a bad area.

Poof and pockets!
The zipper was a tough pull, even though it wasn't tight. The skirt carries it's own shape - but not too exaggerated of a poof. Pockets are fun! Dress hit just above the knee - I am 5'5". It isn't overly sexy - but the colors, fabric and fit make it elegant and classy. I like this dress.

Too bad it was too small.
I miscalculated the dress - and got a 4 and a 6. The 6 was too tight and not flattering at all. The zipper was hard to operate even when it wasn't on- so I had to pull it over my head. Not a great move for a sequin dress. If it fit properly, and if the zipper worked - this would've been a great dress. I could have done an 8, and would probably have needed a 10 to make it hang like the model (usually a 6, or even a 4 is fine for me).

Hot pink number
This was more hot pink than I expected, which felt too young for me at a dressy outdoor wedding. It fit well and was comfortable, not too short and moved well for dancing. I went with my other style, but now want an excuse to wear this before it goes back. A fun dress.

Perfect summer splash
Color and fabric of this dress are very high quality. The length was perfect for me,5'5", but shorter than I had expected. It was a tiny bit tight around my arms - maybe the next size up would have been better. But - this was comfortable all night and super fun with the pockets. Ceremony was in the sun, dress never showed any perspiration. Perfect summer wedding dress.

Hugs in all the right places.
pattern was well placed, shoulder cut was flattering for broad shoulders. Felt like I was wearing spanx, but wasn't. I did have to pull it down a bit as I walked, but nothing major. Snug fitting, but easy to move in. I love this line!

Navy blue surprise
Was pretty short, kept pulling it down. (I'm 5'5"). Otherwise - was great for my good parts (shoulders, small chest), and my least favorite (baby belly) was fine in this dress. Husband loved it, I felt great!

looked great, felt great!
no spanx needed for this dress - it is form fitting, smoothing, and with enough give to be comfortable. It was a nice length, not too short or too long. Would love to have this in my closet.
