Size up!
Beautiful and unique dress but runs SMALL. Just had a baby a few months ago and currently a 6-8 in most dresses, but I wore the 10 and to be honest, a 12 would have been a better fit. Still, I loved it!

Back up style; didn't wear
I picked this as a back-up style when the back-up size of my original order became unavailable due to someone returning late. This fit was cute and I liked that it was fitted in the hips without being too clingy. I didn't expect to like the pleats because my booty usually splits pleats so they don't lay right, but these held their shape which was nice. I didn't wind up wearing this because my original order did fit, but I liked this one.

Unique and gorgeous!
I felt beautiful in this! Loved that it was a longer overlay over a shorter dress; was great for a semi-formal affair. Pear-shaped girls: this was my normal size and it fit, but it was a little big up top, so I had to keep an eye on my bra and make sure it didn't poke out, but a size down would have been too small for my hips I think. Just something to be aware of!

Great colors and pattern
The fabric of this dress is nice and thick; doesn't show every dimple and wrinkle. And the colors and patterns are amazing. I'm a pear shape, so I was pleasantly surprised when this fitted dress fit well on top and bottom. That said, a complaint I never thought I'd have is that it's too roomy in the stomach. The dress looked nice and smooth pulled down to my knees, and then I'd take a few steps, it would ride up, and give me the appearance of having a belly. But I did get a lot of compliments.

Pear girls, size up!
I felt elegant and sexy in this dress that I rented for an August wedding. I loved the slightly longer skirt in the back and the sexy back detail. It's also such a gorgeous color! A little tricky to put on--I either needed help or had to pull it on over my head already buttoned. I usually wear a 2 and while it mostly fit, my bottom is a size up from my top and the 2 was a little uncomfortably snug on the bottom. Was able to adjust the 4's top so it fit securely and the skirt was far more comfortable

Lady in red
I felt gorgeous in this! Had to watch the slit a little bit but I felt both elegant and sexy. Plus, it was a dress I could wear an actual bra with! Always a plus.

Stand out!
This dress was perfect for an outdoor "garden party" themed wedding. The pink is BRIGHT so be prepared to stand out but this dress was so fun and the thick material was lovely! Low cut so you probably need a deep v bra!

Gorgeous color!
Gorgeous dress! I'm a little between sizes right now and boyfriend though the 2R looked too loose, so I went with the 0R. Be warned this fabric shows every curve! I was afraid to eat anything lest I feel full and the dress let everyone at the event know I felt that way. I'm about 5'3" and even in heels that are around 5 inches, the back of the dress dress touched the ground. If you're petite and going to an outdoor event, that might be something to consider! Wasn't a problem at my indoor event. But the color is gorgeous and the style is unforgettable. Despite a little self-consciousness, I felt beautiful!

I picked this dress for wedding in Florida; the attire was "beach formal."
I LOVED this dress; if I could afford it, I'd find a way to buy it. The colors were gorgeous, the fabric light and airy (but not sheer). I was thankful that my back-up size of XS Petite came rather than my choice of Small Regular. I'm 5'4" and petite was perfect for me in even in low wedges. It was also a perfect fit otherwise. The one caution I have is that this is a wrap dress and it was a breezy day for an outdoor ceremony, so I had to hold it closed. Thankfully the reception was indoors so this wasn't a concern for long.

This was my back-up dress for a wedding I was attending as a guest, but I didn't wear it.
I considered this one briefly--I loved the colors in it. But the material, though gorgeous, was heavier and the ceremony was outdoors in Florida, so it was still a little too warm for it. Plus, while the patterned stripes are very fun, I'm a pear-shaped gal, so the horizontal stripes made me feel a little "hippy." Overall, I think this was a gorgeous dress, just not for me.
