fun SHORT party dress
I was worried about this neckline after reading the other reviews and seeing the real photos, and it was cut in much more than I would have preferred. It was slightly uneven as well, curving in more on one side than the other. However, it still worked out okay, and the print and the fabric are great. The dip under the arms was too low to wear a bra, but with the loose cut that was okay for my beach bar event. Wouldn't have liked that for a formal event, and it was surprisingly short given I'd expect the model is at least 4-5 inches taller than I am! Worked out great for me but wouldn't have been appropriate for a wedding or more formal event.

great beachy/resort look
This was a fun look for a bridal luncheon for a beach wedding. A bit too long though, I'm 5'5" and the longer side was skimming the floor in my flats. As others have mentioned, the woven fabric was stretchy, I was worried it might seem stretched out, but it's designed as stretchy weave and hangs pretty well. Super comfy!

Not as dramatic as I hoped
The draping around the waist and the color of this made it fairly boring on. It was also much longer on given my height, so less sexy with the high side coming closer to knee length. Very comfortable though!

This dress is a perfect combination of classy and sexy in a LBD, with just enough standout details!
The fabric is fairly heavy and not super stretchy, and was quite fitted through the chest and waist. I normally wear a 4 but went with the 6 in this one, to feel more comfortable around the chest with breathing room, which then left it a little loose around the hips. It's probably pretty true to size if you are perfectly proportioned, but definitely tight if you're the slightest bit bigger on top. It also hit at the knee instead of above, which I usually don't like, but it worked well with the side slit and the cut to be very flattering and elongating.
