Sadly, not a good fit
I was sad this dress didn't work. It looks beautiful in everyone's pictures and the color is gorgeous! I just don't think my proportions were the right fit for the proportions of this dress. In both sizes, the back bunched up so it looked like I had one of those microphones that they attach to people on reality tv shows. Then, the size 4, which was a slightly better fit, had a hole right by the arm pit. But truly, I think the biggest problem is that I am too short for this dress and my torso isn't as long as this dress required. And since I am shorter, the length of the dress wasn't flirty or sexy on me. I can't say to stay away from this dress. I just think that if you're my height and with my type of proportions, you might want to think twice.

I was convinced!
I wore this dress to a fall wedding and received a lot of compliments. It is a great blend of classy and sexy. I say that I was convinced by the dress because I was really apprehensive about it at first. I am short and I usually wear a size 6. So, I have a little trouble with getting the right fit for a shift dress. The S was too big. And the XS was pretty good, but it fit a little tight around the arms and chest. So, I wasn't really sure whether I was going to wear it to the event or not. But I am so glad I did. It looks amazing in all of the pictures!

This dress is spectacular! I wore it for New Year's Eve and felt very chic. And I LOVE the way it was forgiving around the waist and tummy area while being snug around the hips.

I was disappointed with this dress. The draping was unattractive and the color was a like a drab mustard. The draping probably looks better on taller women.
