Pretty color! Runs small
Lovely color with gold accents, looks especially nice on darker skin tones. I didn't have to wear a bra, which was a plus in the heat. Cons: The inner lining is a bit tight and the dress runs small. I wear a M and even the L was a little tight around the rib cage.

Wonderfully structured top and tons of shimmer!
Loved this dress; the classy top & hemline balanced out all the sequins. My usual size 8 was just a bit too snug so I opted for the 10, which fit wonderfully. The top is structured and I never felt like it was going to fall down. I chose to wore a bra even though there was really no need to; the top is thick enough that you don't even need pasties. Wore this on my birthday to a formal holiday party.

Great shimmery color
The dress was tight across my rib cage and made it a little bit difficult to breathe or sit, but was fine for a party. Thick fabric and shimmer made this appropriate for my December birthday party, I was worried it would be too summery-y.

Comfortable and sparkly!
For all that it's covered in sequins, this was a classy party dress. Ran large like the others said. I added a belt to give my non-waist a bit of definition.

Too tight on the rib cage!
Beautiful dress but I could barely breathe and it was very uncomfortable to sit in. I'm normally a 6/8, and the 10 was too tight on the rib cage. Not made for busty girls.

Unique vintage-looking dress!
Fits a bit tightly in the bust. The orange underlayer bunched a bit at the top, so the inside of the lining peaked out a little. Otherwise, beautiful dress. Would suggest sizing up if you're bigger in the chest.

Would have worked better for a winter wedding!
I decided to wear the size 6 even though it was rather tight at the rib cage, because on the 8 the straps kept falling down. On the plus side, the tightness of the top gave me cleavage. Downsides: the fabric is a bit thick and for an outdoor summer wedding, it was warm and caused some unsightly sweat stains. Also, a bit short for taller girls, but I paired it with heels and it made my legs look quite long!

Gorgeous dress but makes your chest look lopsided
The fabric and color of this dress are beautiful, and the style is perfect in theory. However, upon wearing it, it made left cup look much bigger than the right, and the asymmetry of the draping looked a little funky once I wore it. I would have worn the dress anyway because it IS beautiful, but it ended up being too formal for the occasion anyway.

Perfect for a beach wedding but size down
This was perfect for a beach wedding at dusk. I'm between a size 6 & 8, but size 6 was unavailable. It definitely runs big, and I had an issue with the back zipper coming undone an inch or too, but I kept my eye on it. Fashion tape helped keep the top up, but the seems did fold over a bit. Length is perfect, hit me above the knees. The color and fabric are beautiful, not as casual as they look in the photo.
