Pretty Dress but didn't wear it
The style, fit and color of this dress were really lovely. I loved the flower and it was all flattering. I didn't wear it because there was some plastic boning that had come loose and was poking me, so I wore a different dress. The material is literally scuba material and quite thick, so not great if you're running hot. It also adds a bit of visual weight to your body since it's thicker than most material (but also more forgiving of lumps/bumps on your body. It was also long for us shorter ladies, even with heels. (petite would be better).

More lovely in person!
This was my backup dress and I ended up really loving it for our black tie school gala. The petite length was great for shorter ladies and it was fitted and sexy while being classy and appropriate. I got lots of compliments and it really does look more "wow" in person. The material is a matte black and the accents on the bodice are black satin and make it look unique. The plunge in front is deep and I couldn't wear a bra, so keep that in mind. I also used tape to tape down the front plunge and the sides, so everything stayed flat and didn't cause any wardrobe misfunctions! I really loved this dress.

Beautiful, even if I didn't wear it
This is a gorgeous red and very cool dress. It definitely runs small and I had to exchange for a bigger size (and ended up wearing a different dress). The 2 pieces of arm fabric were more droopy on the larger size and my husband didn't find those flattering. Not as noticeable on the smaller size. I would wear it to an occasion where you want to stand out and just size up! It was a good length for us short gals.

Beautiful dress for formal wedding
I loved this dress! The color is actually more of a cranberry red, which was so pretty for a winter wedding. I received many compliments on it. It was very comfortable, even during dancing (it has some give). The top has a sticky tape to hold it up a bit but I added glamour tape to help it, or it would "turn down" and be visible. Overall, I felt great in it and was very unique in a sea of other dresses. I'm 5'3 and 115lbs and the 2P fit very well. Still a tiny bit long but fine with tall heels.
