I wore this dress to a black tie Christmas party and loved it! The ruching is very forgiving and I loved that it was long, but not so long that I tripped over it. (I also wore it with a very very small heel, less than an inch.) All in all, a lovely dress!

I really liked the look of this dress online, but I'm pear shaped, and while I didn't see that in the list of shapes that this dress is good for, I decided to just go with it and hope for the best. The dress did fit, but it was a bit too big in the bust and quite tight on my hips and butt. If you are pear shaped, this might not be the best dress to go with, as it doesn't provide much waist definition. On the other hand, the beading on the dress is just beautiful (but also very heavy), and it gives off a bit of an 80's prom vibe (but in a good way). I ended up wearing it with black tights and a blazer and really liked the look overall. Overall, lovely dress, just possibly not the best for pear shaped girls.

I rented this dress for a wedding and I absolutely loved it. The rouching is super flattering, the fit was great, and I got a lot of compliments. I would definitely recommend it!
