Not great for busty gals
The material and hemline of this dress are gorgeous, but a warning for girls with bigger chests: the straps don’t provide much support and there is not much coverage. I did not end up going with this one for my event because of it.

Just get it!!!
This dress was my first choice (mainly because the arm it shows is my tattoo sleeve arm 😅) and I am so so glad it looked even better in person than in the photos. It was so flattering, and I felt so confident in it. It would work for several occasions but was particularly perfect for a gala-type event. I was tempted to purchase it, it was hard to mail it back!

Just Okay
The material on this skirt wrinkles very easily and it didn't really feel like designer quality. The fit around the waist was super tight. It was a fun piece but nothing special, not my favorite.

Beautiful dress for my first day at work! Got tons of compliments, was told I was giving “Chanel vibes.” Total confidence-boosting dress!

Photos Don't Do It Justice
Great versatile piece, high quality material. Love the back tie detail. It fit great through the chest, even on a busty gal like myself.

The most glamorous I've ever felt!
This dress was something of a "Hail Mary" for me, after the first two dresses I ordered for this awards ceremony event did not fit. It was one of only a few dresses left in my size, and as a bigger girl I wasn't sure about the mermaid cut - but let me tell you, this dress was SO flattering on me. I felt so confident in it. I didn't need to wear a bra with this dress, I am a 38DD and it held everything in. I'm 5'4" so I needed to wear heels with this to achieve the high-low hem effect. The gold accents at the top made gold shoes and accessories an easy choice. It was a perfect dress for the event, it was unique and didn't look like every other dress there. I highly recommend this dress - take a chance on it!
