I rented this dress for an outdoor charity gala. The dress was comfortable and fit well. I am pear shaped and take a 2, 4, or 6 depending on the fit through the thighs and bottom. The 4L fit okay, but it was easier to walk in the 6L! I am 5'9 1/2, though, and the 6L was still too short for heels, so ladies taller than 5'10 might want to consider another dress. I wore very flat sandals, and the length was perfect. The light caught the sequins and made the dress really stand out, especially after the sun had set. I got loads of compliments all night long!

First, this dress is gorgeous. The fabric is rich, as are the colors. It broke my heart not to wear it, but the fit was a conplete disaster for a tall (almost 5'10) with a booty! The plunge neckline gapped significantly over my narrow shoulders and c cup, while the skirt barely covered my size 6 booty. As this dress isn't available in a tall, I would recommend to women 5'7 and under who are larger on top than on bottom. Taller women who are thin will need broader shoulders and larger breasts to make it work. Again, this dress was so beautiful, but the fit eas tricky.

I loved this dress! It was perfect for a late fall wedding and a nice alternative to black. The full skirt was whimsical and great for dancing. It ran pretty true to size with room for movement. I felt like Alice in Wonderland in the best possible way! Great dress!

This dress was beautiful and fit true to size, however, the lace is very stiff, so movement is restricted. This dress would be lovely for pictures or maybe an event with minimal movement.

This dress gently hugged my curves but did not cause any bulging or lumping. It was comfortable yet looked sophisticated. I received tons of compliments. I am nearly 5'10, so I chose to wear black tights with this dress, as it is shorter. I could bend over without showing off my booty, but just barely! I don't have a photo because my photos were on a phone that was lost, but I wish I did! I would absolutely buy this dress.

I loved this dress, but chose not to wear it, as I really needed the Size 2, which was not available at the time of my event. This is a beautiful dress. The visual weight of the sequins is balanced by the lightness of the lace, creating an overall light, feminine effect. The back is lovely, and a normal strapless bra can be worn without showing. The lace bordering the sequined bodice did require some careful steaming to lay flat, and laying flat is a must, as the lace was distracting when it stuck out at odd angles.

As much as I liked this dress, I chose not to wear it to my event. The sequins covering the dress added the illusion of extra pounds to the body, and I felt the dress was unflattering on my thighs. The dress is gorgeous, though. I loved the unique cutouts in the back. You can still wear a normal bra, which is always a plus! I would definitely recommend this dress to woman who are slender and thin all over. I would caution any woman with "problem areas," as this dress is not very forgiving.
