The fabric on this dress was wonderfully comfortable. It stretched well to fit my shape without looking tight. Very flattering shape and feel overall. The Decorative stitching over the bust was awkward looking, almost didn't wear the dress just for that reason alone.

This dress is incredible! So flattering and sophisticated. . . The way the dress is structured it stays up quite nicely - normally a huge battle for me with strapless and off the shoulder gowns. It still has a lot of give in the fabric though so I was able to size down and still be super comfortable. Plus the black jersey ships well and is a bit heaver and warmer, good for winter. Some reviews say the sleeves are tight, but one thing I noticed was that on one of my dresses the sleeves were somehow twisted up with the different layers of fabric so while they looked normal they felt incredible tight, my smaller sized dress actually had sleeves that felt too loose because they didn’t have this twisting problem. The long was appropriate for my 5’8 with low heels . . . Sometimes I feel the long sizes are a bit much but this dress didn’t go overboard on the length.

This gown was gorgeous and a very flattering cut overall. There is slightly more ruching than appears in the pictures (the backside captures more accurately the amount of ruching. For sizing beware of the long, because it is very very long. I’m 5’8 and prefer flats and low heals so it was at least 2 inches too long for me. Also as far as being “stretch silk” there really was very little stretch to the fabric. The dress does run true to size but be careful about sizing down as there’s not much wiggle room! The silk was so beautiful but didn’t travel well compared to other fabrics I’ve rented… this one looked like it traveled 5 days and 3000 miles in the mail and arrived a bit wrinkled. I was pleased that this dress is a true teal color, much more green than it looks on the model and the overall feel was light and airy while still holding everything firmly in place.

These clip-ons were massive! They would be great as a stand alone piece for a fun and funky look but I was going for elegant and understated, so they stayed at home in the box...I wish I had thought to measure them before shipping back, I'd say they were at least two inches...
