Loved this dress for the color, pattern and overall fit. However, the pleats on this dress are strange, and make hips seem wider. I wore the dress anyway because I loved the color and neckline so much, but found myself constantly pressing down the pleats. My husband said that it was one of his favorite dresses I've ever worn, "except for the pleats"

I was between a size 4 and a 6, but ultimately went with the 4 since the 6 was too large in the sleeves chest. Received tons of compliments!

I'm nearly 6 months pregnant with twins and wore this dress to my baby shower last weekend. Pre-pregnancy I typically wore a size 4 dress, but this time I ordered a size 6 and it worked perfectly. Yes, it was a little short (I'm 5'10), but I paired this with black tights and didn't have a problem. I would say if you don't have an hourglass figure, order a size down as the dress doesn't really have much shape to it. In a perfect world, the arms of the dress would have been a little bit shorter and had a little more fit to them (they are somewhat shapeless, and hit at an odd place on the arm - you can't roll them up either as the inside fabric is a lighter shade of black), but other than that it really was the perfect dress for the occasion. I received tons of compliments!

I'm 4 months pregnant and have a small bump. This dress would be adorable on someone with a larger bump, but on me it just wasn't flattering. I typically wear a size 4-6 in dresses, but the small was a bit too snug in the hips. The medium wasn't available, but I'm sure it would have worked just fine. Had to return this one, unfortunately.
