I wore this as a bridesmaid for my best friend's wedding. We all wore something different. I wanted a dress that was beautiful that didn't feel like a bridesmaid's dress, and this was the perfect solution. The detail feels very feminine and pretty and special. I was worried that the shoulders might be too snug (I'm a trapeze artist and have muscular shoulders), and I don't often wear cap sleeves. But this fit perfectly. It was a super comfortable dress to have on literally all day long, and though it's fitted, there was enough room to dance without feeling restricted. I'm 5'3", and it was a great length, not too short on me. My only complaint was that it came out of the bag smelling horribly of mothballs, so I hung it in a room with scented candles the whole day before.

I rented this dress and another one for a wedding I was a bridesmaid in (I wanted backup just in case one didn't work). I have a very athletic body with defined arms (not body-builder style, but a trapeze artist and dancer), and the cut of the top really over accentuated my shoulders, making me look more like a gymnast than I do. It's not usually too obvious that my shoulders are wider than my hips, but with this dress it was. I showed it to a friend of a friend I'd never met, and he called me "She-Hulk." I think it was also too long for me since I'm short. It hit just above my knees, and made me look even shorter. It's a beautiful dress, and the cutouts on the side are very sexy. The color is quite true to the photo, though maybe a bit more purple than I expected (a good thing!), and really lovely. It's I think it'll look amazing on someone taller with longer limbs, or with a more feminine curvy body.
