Loved this dress! I was concerned the eyelet might be too casual for a wedding (summer, outdoor) but it looked perfectly appropriate for cocktail. As other reviewers have mentioned, the straps are very long - they're obviously intended to be fit to the owner (they're barely sewn on). Like other users, I was fine safety pinning them shorter. Also, the top has a bib element - it's hard to tell on the model's picture, but the fabric doesn't lay flat against your chest and there's a sort of ruffle framing the bust down to the waist. I ended up taping it down on the sides with fashion tape and thought it looked much more flattering. The only "con" is that the dress definitely runs TTS, but only once it's stretched out! I normally wear a 10 and had a 12 as backup. The 10 could zip up (and note that other reviewers are right, the zipper is horrible and feels like you'll break it - I actually used WD-40 on mine!) but felt SO tight, hard to breathe, etc. I ended up going with the 12...only to have it stretch out at least a full dress size over the course of the night. (By the time I got home, the top was so stretched out that when I raised my arms the dress shifted enough to expose my boobs! I probably flashed everyone on the dance floor.) I'd recommend going with the smallest size that you're still able to zip and wearing it around the house as long as possible before your event - it WILL stretch out!
