Straps are long and don't adjust
This one felt loose in the straps up top but tight in the torso length for me. I passed on wearing it out as it would really need to be styled with a jacket but then that defeats the purpose of having the cute lace cut outs.

Too revealing for work function
This dress felt a little too Elvira for me. It looks lovely on smaller busted body types but for me it was not street legal. I went with something different.

Great for Valentines Day fundraiser
I tied the scarf elements at the back and styled with a cropped black blazer to make this less revealing in the bust. It was comfortable and the sequins made it really pop.

Solid Reunion dress
This dress is very tight up top and the material is thick. It's a cool style for being a simple black dress but it tends to bunch up because it's asymmetric in the hem. Overall though, I thought it looked good.

Tricky fit but a unique take on the LBD
This is a true wrap dress so you will need fashion tape and some pins in order to not flash everyone. You can wear a convertible halter style bra with this (I opted for a more natural look). This dress is cut in such a way that it would not be flattering on a small chested person. I'm a 32 D and my boobs kind of disappeared in it. Because our event was a fundraiser I was ok with this and appreciated the fun slit in the skirt. It was a fun dress all night.
Status Symbol Dress

Didn't fit
I went a size up because I'm familiar with this brand and I worried about getting the dress on and whether or not it would be comfortable if it was too tight. It was just way too big throughout the hips to wear without it looking baggy. I think in the right size this would be a great dress-but not for warm weather as the material is kind of like lightweight scuba fabric.

So many compliments in South Beach!
I wore this to a convention event in South Beach. The style was "South Beach chic" and this dress is the epitome of South Beach. The zipper does bulge out a bit but otherwise it was a very comfortable fit. I went with a pinkish nude lipstick and smoky eyes which seemed to really accentuate the sexiness of the dress. I was surprised at how comfortable I felt wearing this dress as I usually do not wear short, tight dresses.

This looks exactly like the photo and adds a fun pop of color
Was a great way to add color but I knew I would not likely wear such a bright piece again. So renting it was perfect.

Great for a tropical resort vibe
The lining is tight on this and doesn't really have any give. I would size up so that you have enough length in the dress to walk comfortably.
