No stretch
I love the dress but neither size fit. I had a 14 and 16. O have broad shoulders and am a 38 G bust. This is not the dress for ladies who are more broad across the bust area.

Nice stretch
This dress has a nice stretch. The material is heavy, so if it’s really hot, you will be hot.

This dress is not flattering
Nice stretch, with a weird design cut. Ruching at the waist but it doesn’t help how the dress hangs. It did nothing and therefore was not worn.

Too small-no stretch
This is a cute dress, with no stretch. If you have broad shoulders with a large bust it’s not the dress for you. I wear a 16 with a 38G bust, the dress wouldn’t close over my bust.

Nice dress
This was my backup dress. I didn’t wear it, it was too small across my chest area. I am 45 inches across the busy. The dress has minimal stretch to it.

Good stretch.
The dress has very good stretch. I am NOT petite. I’m 5’10, 224 lbs and wear a 38G bra. I wore a 3.5 inch heel. The 16L was not available so I had to get a 16R, which didn’t come to floor length or my shoe. So, if you are tall and plan on wearing a 3 inch heel, the long option is best.

Very comfortable dress, material has stretch.
This dress is comfortable. I wore a 14L, as you can see from the pic it didn't touch the floor. I am 5'10 and had on a 3 inch heel. If you are leery about high splits, this is not the dress for you. The split is not for the modest. Material is heavy, so its a good dress for colder climates. The dress is black with gold sequins.

Worn to a Met Gala inspired formal event. Them was Monarch Butterflies.
Dress fit fine. I’m broad across the chest and it was not tight. The long was not available so I had to go with the regular length, which hit right at my ankle. Would have preferred it to be a longer bit overall it was a nice dress.

Needed a white dress for a fundraising day party. Dress is very comfortable due to the stretch.
I’m 5’10 and 200 pounds (I know I look great 😂,). I ordered the 16 and had the 14 as a backup. The 16 was too large, I wore the 14. Dress is ivory with a ribbed stretch material and comfortable. I opted for a strapless bra and a high waist body smoother underneath.

Dress was comfortable and I received many compliments.
I wore the 16L with a 3.5-4 in heel. The dress hit at my toe line and did not skim the floor. I’m 5’10 in my bare feet. Overall the dress fit, it was snug across the chest area and my husband and my teenage son had to zip me up. Due to the snug fit, no bra was needed for this dress. The bodice material has no stretch so if you are broad across the back and chest area order a size up.

Everyone loved this dress.
Fit-true to size. I am 5'10 with an athletic build and wear a 16 in formal dresses. I have broad shoulders and a 40DD bust line. The dress fit and did not smash the girls. I rented the long and had the regular length as a backup, the 16L was fine for me, I wore about a 2.5 inch heel which puts me at about 6 feet and the dress was long enough. Zippers as usual on formal dresses are hard to pull up, my husband had to assist as always. Very comfortable dress, the slit is generous, so if you are wary of flashing leg and thigh (I'm not) be aware that it comes up fairly high and falls open when you sit.

I received lots of compliments from male guests at the gala, including my husband.
This is a great dress, very stretchy. I could have worn a regular 14 but this was the smallest size. I am 5'10, 214 pounds with a curvy-athletic build. I have broad shoulders and wear a 40DDD bra. I usually have a hard time finding dresses that will fit my torso as well as my lower body without any alterations. This dress hides all flaws and accentuates all curves.
