Love the dress, rich fabric. Very low cut
Wonderful fabric, a real head Turner and lots of compliments from stranger s. I decided it was a little low cut for a wedding but wire it to a symphony event the night before instead. Any strapless bra will show and it is even lower in the back, silicon stick on type is probably the best "bra,". Very snug waist, in usually an 8 but had to wear the 10. 8 would not zip and back too low for shape wear

Looked spectacular for event
Stretchy so forgiving with fit. Be happy with your tummy because with the low back can't wear shape wear. Uncomfortable scratchy under arms.

Lovely dress
This dress has a simple and elegant look which I love. The eyelet lace has a little give to which is nice, so it is form fitting but not too tight. I am rather thick waisted, and there was weird bunching at the waist because of the eyelet pattern. But it wasn't tight. So I wore my abdominal binder and it was better but still tended to get bunchy and weird. I also had to use the large size slip because my torso wouldn't fit into the medium one, but the medium dress was perfect.

Too snug in my size
I vary between 8 and 10 depending on the dress. Unfortunately they did not have back up ten available, so I just got the 8 despite several reviews stating the corset style top runs tight. I was able to get it on, but from behind it was very unflattering. From behind it just looked like I was flowing in old lady back fat. So I wore something from my closet. I would try this dress again, it was beautiful, but definitely size up.

simple and classy
This is the perfect cocktail Attire dress. I felt confident and poised because I knew the dress would be a hit, and the pockets give you something to do with your hands during awkward conversation lulls.

Sexy, classy, and sparkly. I got compliments all night!
I wasn't sure I could pull this one off because of the deep neckline and my lack of a chest. But it turned into a really classy deep plunge and just looked elegant. I was thrilled with the look and fit and felt confidant and fabulous all night long. Also glad I got some earrings and bracelet from RTR, they made a huge difference. This was my back up gown which jumped to a winner as soon as I tried it on. And the folds in the mid section which look weird on a hangar do a great job of covering a little tummy chub.

comfortable and sharp looking
It was tighter than I generally like so I looked somewhat lumpy. But it was still eye catching and snazzy and I enjoyed wearing it. Interestingly, on my way to the event I was one of the first on scene to a horribly tragic car accident. In the dress I could move and bend over, examine people, take charge, and talk with EMS and police when they arrived.(I am an ER doc) and although I got some interesting looks, I was able to move easily and comfortably in this dress helping the victims. So I guess it was a multi use dress and although I certainly didn't plan for it, Unimpeded movement was really useful.

I felt like a princess with the beautiful trailing skirt and my date loved the open back
I think this dress would be better on someone younger with a longer torso. I am fairly thick waisted so the back sort of rode up on my hips and then had this awkward gap at the sides which I felt was very unflattering but my date loved it. I got lots of compliments and enjoyed being extra dressy for a special night. I am usually an 8 but the ten fit better. I am very small chested and it was a little gappy on top.

Not right for my body type
The gown fit well and I loved the rich fabric feel and fun design. However, this would look best on a tall, lithe figure. I think I could have pulled it off 20-30 yrs ago (and 25#ago) but it just was not right for a mature, sadly out of shape mommy. Have at it you younger , skinny girls, it is a fabulous dress.
