I was trying to find a night-out dress that was more on the conservative side (without being too conservative). This almost fit the bill except that it did ride up when walking, making it shorter than I wanted. I'm between a 6 and 8 and probably should have gotten the 8. Overall, I loved the dress and got a lot of compliments on it.

I wore this with block heels to a nice dinner. I didn't see the belt at first and almost didn't wear it because without the belt it is very shapeless. However, with the belt, it was fabulous. The material is very thick. I used fabric tape to conceal the straps of my bra in the back. It is pretty low cut and the straps would probably be too long for anyone who wears an A- or B-cup or anyone who is petite.

This is my second time renting this. It's so flattering - great neckline and slimming fabric - and versatile. If I had to list any cons, it would simply be that I needed to wear mid-rise to high-waist bottoms as the side splits would have otherwise shown skin.

The pattern is very unique. However, I don't see how anyone my height could possibly wear it. The shortest part showed my stomach.

This dress was perfect for the black-tie-optional gala I attended. The pattern kept it from being overly formal while the length kept it just formal enough. I'm between a 6 and an 8. Based on the reviews I sized up to an 8. The 8 was a little big in the waist and hips and way too big in the chest, but I made it work. The material is thick and disguises a not-so-flat stomach.

Unfortunately, I couldn't wear this. I wish I had read that there's no zipper. Then I would have known that the material would be too stretchy for me. This dress is only for those with flat stomachs! The material is thin and stretchy. The neckline is really cool and flattering, and it doesn't require a strapless bra.
