Beautiful dress
I am an apple with broad shoulders and wide ribs (it's a curse!). I had to squeeze myself into the XLR because of that. It was very tight around my ribs as all designer dresses seem to be. I wear medium shirts and size 8 pants, but the XLR was the only one that was going to work with my ribcage. I wore this to an outdoor, black-tie optional wedding and got a lot of compliments. It really is a pretty dress. I had to fuss with my strapless bra, pinning down the cups so they wouldn't show at the neckline. The length was fine, I wore both platform sandals that gave me about 4" and my dancing shoes with a 1" heel, no problems. The skirt had plenty of room for stairs, dancing and just walking around. The straps are adjustable and stayed up. The bust was perhaps a bit loose because my boobs didn't get the memo to grow with my ribcage (another curse!), but it wasn't anything I had to address and I'm sure no one but me noticed. I know people complain about sequins being scratchy under the arms but I only started to notice that towards the end of the night and it was no biggie.

Easy to wear
This fit well, hid my gut and I was able to wear a t-back bra with it. I wore this to my HS reunion and got lots of compliments.

Cute, but sheer and low cut
My strapless bra was not cut low enough for me to wear this. If I pulled it up on my shoulders maybe the bra would've worked but the shirt hem would've been too high to cover my pooch. So did not wear.

Nice quality but was fancier for the party I was attending, which turned out to be in a farm (really
Quality was good. I got the 6 and the 8. Although I was at a fat point post vacation, I actually felt the 6 fit and looked better.

Sophisticated maxi for a vacation dinner out.
Very easy to wear. The fabric travelled beautifully. I am an apple shape and this was not binding at the midsection, it was very comfortable. I got the Medium as my backup to a large and ended up wearing the medium. My 5'8" 22yo tried on the large but felt her bust wasn't big enough to make the dress look right on her.

Did not fit.
I could not come close to zipping this up. Very pretty dress. I wish I got the large. I will say I think a deep-V bra or nu-bra is needed because you can see the bra at the lacing.

Wore this on a Caribbean vacation.
This did a fantastic job of hiding my belly but not making me look chubby. My 22yo liked it on me so much she suggested I buy it and that never happens. It's a great color and pattern and the fabric is very light and floaty. As others mentioned, the straps are not adjustable and I did wish they were.

Got this for a Caribbean vacation, ended up wearing it home on the plane.
There is no stretch. I had a tussle getting it over my wide and sunburned shoulders, but once on it was quite comfortable. I had to wear it with heels to keep the hem off the floor. It did a nice job not clinging to my jiggly bits, nor did it accentuate my belly.

Very easy to wear, a dress forgiving of middle-age.
This was my backup dress, I really hadn't planned on wearing it but it ended up fitting better than my first choice. It was very easy to wear, very comfortable. I bought a skinny belt to define the waist, and wore it with sheer black stockings and black shoes. The skirt is short, which is fine with me but I couldn't fit a slip underneath it and the lining of the dress would ride up due to the panyhose, Not a huge problem but something of which I was aware. I got a lot of compliments on this dress and how it looked on me. I apologize for the poor picture quality, my phone's camera is bad and my husband is not a good photographer.

Beautiful dress
I really wanted to wear this to a wedding, but neither size fit me well. I don't have big boobs but I do have big ribs and I could barely zip up the slip. I could've worn a NuBra and some shapewear but I ended up looking dumpy in this. As others mentioned, the gold band at the hem is something you either like or hate. I liked it, my daughter hated it and said it looked tacky. The colors of this dress are fabulous though.

So excited about the jewelry because I didn't have to worry about fit!
Great cuff, worked well with the gold in the dresses I rented.
