Compliment city!
I LOVED wearing, dancing, and twirling the night away in this dress! I got tons of compliments and the cut outs were super fun.

LOVE the bright colors and pockets!
I'm pretty tall with a short torso, so I rented the small and medium. The small was a little tighter and definitely fit better in the bust, but created an...uncomfortable...moment when I stood up straight. The medium had a slightly more relaxed fit and was comfortable all night long. The fabric is very high quality, so a bra wasn't necessary for my 34B's, but I could see someone with a larger bust choosing an adhesive option. LOVED the pockets and the bright, fun colors. The hook and zipper + tie closure on the back made using the restroom a bit of a challenge--especially after few drinks. Take a friend with you and you'll be fine!

Dress fit like a glove! Bad seam placement made it unwearable.
The dress was light, gorgeous, and would have been perfect for an outdoor wedding in the steamy August heat. Sadly, a seam across the chest (where the liner attached to the dress to create the draped neckline) made the dress unwearable. Steaming the dress, using an iron to press it flat, nothing worked! It created a very obvious line across the middle of my chest (and I'm pretty flat chested!).

More purple in person!
I LOVED this dress! From the adjustable straps to the lilac color, it was gorgeous and snagged me tons of compliments at a small, late summer wedding. The 6 fit better on my hips, but I needed a little help to fill out the top, so I opted for the 4 with an adhesive bra (the kind with the drawstring between the cups) to give my tiny girls a little boost. It was SO comfortable! My only regret is I wish I would have worn spanx for a smoother look in photos. Otherwise this dress was a homerun!

Universally flattering dress
Ordered the 6 and 8, went with the 8. Gorgeous, rich fabric, such a flattering color, it was perfect for a late fall formal event! The sleeves were slightly short for me (story of my life at 5'10"), but everything else was perfect. Can not recommend highly enough for a cold weather event!

No bra required AND pockets!
Pear-shaped girls rejoice--this dress was made for us! Form fitting up top with thick enough fabric (and an open back!) so you don't need to wear a bra, and totally flowy and forgiving below the waist. I can't say enough good things about this dress! I thought the photos of the model looked more pink/coral on my phone, but the floral lace is a true red. Definitely didn't change my opinion of the dress, but thought it was worth mentioning!

Business in the front, party in the back!
Wore this to the BF's law school fall formal and was perfectly in line with the "business casual/cocktail" dress code. Loved the color, the length was perfect (always a gamble with online dresses!), and the slit at the waist was a fun twist that got two thumbs up from my date. There was no bunching or riding up from dinner thru dancing, and you can totally wear a regular bra!

Short and tight in the WRONG places
Loved the color and the top fit great! I'm usually a 6 in most dresses, but always order a size up just in case. The 6 wouldn't fit over my hips and the 8 rode up with every step. I could have made it work at a calmer event, but not dancing at a wedding. Decided not to wear.

This dress fit like a GLOVE!
Loved how the bright purple color popped at the early fall outdoor wedding. The length was just right too! The sleeves were snug, but not too tight, on my zero-upper-body-strength arms, so if you've got guns this might be a tricky fit
