Wonderful dress for a summer wedding
Wore this for a summer wedding and it was wonderful. Flattering, comfortable, easy to wear and dance in all night! Only feedback is the top is big. I have a full bust and didn't wear a bra because any strapless or even a rabbit bra was visible. I recommend fashion tape to keep things in place.

Looks great and comfortable!
Got many compliments on this dress. The color and fit was great. It’s both figure flattering and forgiving. I was able to eat a filling meal on NY Eve and still feel great in it!

Great dress in wonderful color worn for a formal wedding
Loved this dress, as it was extremely comfortable, but still showed off an hourglass shape. The color is beautiful and stands out in a room of dark tones. If you don’t have a full bust, you might want to size down because the top is generous and may slip. Great overall!

Very comfortable dress that you can accessorize up or down
I wore this for a wedding as loved the comfort factor and pockets. Fun to dance in and could eat and not feel bloated. Heads up the v-neck is quite deep so I paired with a black tank top.

Comfort and elegance in one...
This dress was great. Got many compliments including strangers coming up to me to tell me they loved my dress. I probably could have worn the 8, but decided to stay with the 10 to allow give for eating. Was able to dance and eat all night & never feel bloated or uncomfortable.

Looks great but requires lots of adjustments
I wore this for a wine tasting event. This dress looks great and is forgiving despite being firm fitting. One caution is that it requires a lot of adjusting. Due to the cutouts, there was more fixing than I would prefer to make sure my boob wasn't popping out the side and the dress was pulled down. Maybe I should have used the smaller size, which did fit and may have moved less.

Stand out color, elegant and very comfortable
I wore this to a black tie wedding. This dress was extremely comfortable and forgiving while also being body conscious. I could have even probably sized down but always good to err on the side of caution. Great dress!

Great color & very comfortable!
I wore this dress for a charity benefit my company was participating in as a sponsor. I received compliments all night on the color & cut of the dress. It was very comfortable with give in the stomach and hips. You just need a good strapless bra!
Coral Ruffle Cold Shoulder Dress

Sexy yet comfortable dress!
This dress looked great and was very flattering, Hugged in all the right places but had give in the hips and stomach which was wonderful. I flip flop between size 8 & 10 depending on cut & fit but I was able to wear the 8. Only drawback is the leg slit is pretty high & the stitching was a bit loose so I had to extra secure it with a pin.

I got many compliments on this dress. I think the color and cut were unique.
I normally take a 10, but had to go a size up in this dress as per the reviews I read. It definitely runs small. Since I have a full bust I didn't need to tape it , and didn't worry about it shifting. Overall, very pleased!

Great dress! Wish it were mine
I wore this dress for a summer evening engagement party. It was a hit! People went out of their way to tell me how great I looked. Overall, it was quite roomy; I probably could have gone one size down. I wore a shaper slip underneath and that was perfect as the fabric does cling a bit. Extremely comfortable and you could really dress it up or down, depending on the accessories.

Showstopper!
I was a hit in this dress at a black-tie wedding in Manhattan. It showcased my hourglass shape, yet I felt it was also slimming. It was very comfortable, and not at all tight in the bust like so many evening gowns. I would recommend spanx or a control garment for the lower half of your body as the folds of the dress can add fabric there so you want a slim as possible canvas. Only drawback was the dress would twist and I'd have to readjust it often--I may have been able to get away with an 8! However,overall I was thrilled and received tons of compliments, best one being that I looked as if I came from a red carpet premiere!
