Stunning dress, but not practical for dancing!
I didn't even get to wear this gorgeous dress out on the town. I rented it to wear in Vegas, thinking the black with the sexy gold straps was ideal for the occasion. As great as it looked while I was standing perfectly still, it wasn't a practical dress for me—so I realized too late to exchange it (when already in Vegas). At first try-on, I even mistakenly thought it would work great. The wrap caused too much gaping up top in the chest area—and, yes, I tried every variation of fashion tape and different pasties/backless bras. Then this dress requires a slip, because if you take normal-size steps while walking or dance in any way, you're not just flashing your thighs, you're giving a full-frontal view! (And, yes, I wrapped it properly, slipping the belt around and through the slits. And I cinched it as tight as possible.) So in sum, I recommend ordering a smaller second size and being prepared with fashion tape and a very tiny black slip. This dress has potential. I am sad I didn't get to enjoy it.

I wore this to an engagement party; the singer of the band added me to his songs: "red dress girl."
I really enjoyed this dress! But just for one night (glad I rented and don't own it). I should have ordered a size 4 (my typical size) and 2, whereas I order sizes 4 & 6. I am curious as to how the size 2 would fit (possibly much better). It was fun to wear, but if I could go back, I wouldn't take photos from a side angle/profile. In person, I think it was flattering, but depending on where the photo cuts off, sometimes I looked pregnant. The waist is high and it flares out, giving such an impression. Other than that, it was very well-made. I loved the fabric. Other reviews complained the lace was worn-out, but I argue otherwise. I think it was quite nice, without many any noticeable signs of wear & tear. I would recommend renting it (not buying it).
