Beautiful dress!
This dress was so beautiful. Unfortunately, only the 2P was available when I ordered it last minute and it was just a little too snug in the rib cage for me to wear to a full day event. It's very flattering. I have a pretty flat chest and was worried about the key hole being too big (as others have noted in reviews) but I just didn't wear a bra and pulled the waist down a bit so it all fell flat against my chest and it looked great. Would definitely have worn if I ordered the correct size!

Definitely an eye-catcher but runs small.
I'm 5'3" about 125 pounds with an athletic build and big butt. I ordered the XS and S and I wish I had ordered a M. The small worked out OK but I was a bit uncomfortable all night sucking my tummy in. Additionally, the arms are super small. I have somewhat muscular arms (nothing crazy though) and it was hard for me to get my arms in the long sleeves. The fabric is definitely forgiving and hides a lot, though. It's comfortable once it's on and it kept me warm at a fall beach wedding. I would order it again but just a size larger.

I loved the colors of this dress, it definitely stood out in a crowd.
I wore this dress to a black tie event and it was perfect. The lace and sheer bottom were beautiful, and the loud colors of the flowers really stood out. A few cons: the neck was way, way too big -- I safety pinned the back and it still hung loose. Also I almost ordered the 0 and 2 but thank goodness I got the 4. I'm short but have athletic legs and a big booty and the 4 was *tight* It fit well but there was no way I could fit into anything smaller. Usually nicer brands run a bit large, but this was not the case. Additionally, there's wiring in the front that makes for a great shape but the wiring had punctured through the fabric on the inside of the dress I received. I couldn't wear it for more than five minutes it was so painful. I sewed it up myself and it was fine, but definitely a process.

Cute dress but the fabric was too heavy for a summer wedding.
I ended up wearing a different dress to the event I went to, but had this as a backup. The dress was cute but ran a bit large on the top. Additionally, the fabric is heavy (think living room curtains heavy) and didn't seem to fall right on my body. For a warm weather dress it was a bit heavy and didn't have the type of fabric I thought it would.

I absolutely loved this dress! Got compliments the entire night!
This dress not only fit perfectly but it's very comfortable. I'm 5'3" around 120 pounds with an athletic build. I have small boobs and a big butt/thighs so I wasn't sure if this was going to be too tight around the waist but it's made of stretchy fabric that complimented my curves perfectly. The ruffles also hid my belly well which made me extra confident. I was worried the off the shoulder would make it hard to dance but the straps on the arms are stretchy and very easy to move around in. There's a built in bra but I still wore a strapless underneath it just for extra support. With 3.5" heels the dress just touched the floor so I had to pick it up once in awhile as I walked but otherwise the length wasn't a problem. Would wear this dress again in a heartbeat, people kept saying I looked like the dancing emoji!
