Flowy watercolor goodness
The overall fit is great, the invisible zipper will require a helping hand to zip up bc of all the seaming at one spot. This dress was a dream, it was comfortable in all the right places, airy and light. It was great to twirl in and dance the night away. The empire seam gives you a great shape while also providing room to grow as the night carries on (you can eat and drink to your hearts content) . I wish it did have bras strap holders bc the neckline and strap line aren't exactly perfectly lined up with the natural spot for bra straps. However a nude bra strap kept me from being to OCD with this. Overall would rent again.

Way heavier then expected and way tighter then expected.
The overall dress is made of a heavier fabric that is entirely lined in satin. It hides no flaws and requires SERIOUS spanx to give you the smooth look. Overall this mermaid dress did not give my curves the look they were going for and I switched out the dress for a better tried and true style from Badgley Mishka.

ITCHY
Overall this dress is barely a dress, the length is more tunic or perhaps my legs are overly long. As well the quality of the embroidery is great but it's scratchy as all hell on the arms. If you are even remotely sensitive to such things this is not the dress for you. I didn't end up wearing this bc again it was crazy short and I needed to be able to sit for a long period. Other wise the fit is comfortable roomy in the body that I could have gone without spanx but alas this wasn't meant to be for me.

Looked great just not on me
The fit was for a much shorter woman then me proportionally. I felt as though the waist almost was empired on my long torso. I choose to wear a different dress I ordered that fit better. Overall the cut of the slv and the way the bodice draped just wasn't flattering for my long large frame. Perhaps a different size would have helped but overall the dress was big in places I needed it to be small and short in places I needed it to be longer.

Fantastic Cocktail Dress for a nice outdoor wedding.
The dress looks fantastic, however it is very tight in the armholes and I took that note from others reviews so I got a size bigger then I am accustomed. The fit was perfect then. The weight of the fabric is relatively heavy satin, which offers a great shape but was the worst in the heat (I'm willing to hurt for fashion though so it worked out) . You barely need spanx or anything super tight on the undergarments as the skirt really affords you a lot of room. The length was fantastic to dance in and while the weight of the fabric was terrible for the heat it was a plus when it came time to boogie down and not flash the world.

Great dance moves and good company
This run's very small, it is not a true woman's sizing and is a very difficult dress to zip on your own. I generally fit an 18W and had to go up to a 22W to get a good fit. As well I would not recommend getting dressed alone in this as the zipper on all sizes was almost impossible to do alone. However beyond that the dress fit like a glove and was perfection. It comes in at the waist in all the right spots and poofs out nicely with the pleats at the hips, instead of making you look wider it just add's volume and flare. The neckline is very modest but also snug fitting to create a nice flattering shape. The material is much lighter weight then I expected but has a beautiful texture and handfeel.

Festive Holiday Cheer!
The Dress runs tight at the chest for my 40D boobs in the 18W but was better fitting in the 20W. However the 20W was HUGE in the back and if this was something I owned would have needed a good inch taken out. The length is cute but rather short when you sit down be aware of your legs. Overall very comfortable, great for a colder day or night event. The zippers at the slvs help to give you some room if you need it but aren't very practical for converting the dress from a long slv to a less long slv. The shape flattered and I got several compliments. Defintely looks good paired with a cardigan and some accessories (I was lacking wished I planned better).

Looked like a million dollars.
Comfy fit, great lace detailing, the lining rides up a little when worn with tights. flattering cut. 42D fit perfect at chest no problem with a strapless bra.

THE COLOR was just a stand out!
Good fit in the boobs built in sticky tape keeps the dress where it needs to be but I still made sure I had a boob wrangler on watch.
