Unique and fun
A great dress that received many compliments. The pockets were spacious and useful. The dress stayed up without need for tugging, as a high quality strapless dress should. By the end of a night full of dancing, some of the boning was rubbing at my back.

Many many compliments! Wish the straps were better.
Everyone loved the look of this dress (including me!). I did not enjoy way it felt, however. The straps had no give, and as a result, simultaneously felt too tight and too loose. I tried ditching the straps by pinning them inside, but the dress wouldn’t stay in place, because while it was tight through the hips, it was a bit too big through my waist/rib cage/bust. It’s really a shame that there wasn’t just a little more give in the whole dress—could be perfect if tailored. I normally wear a Small or a size 4 or 6, and was surprised to find I needed the medium AND a pair of spanx.

Wore this to a summer wedding--such a fun color!
I ACTUALLY wore both sizes (2 & 4) that night. The 4 was a bit big in the bust (but it showed by gaping in the straps behind my shoulders). I ate too much good food at the wedding, and switched into the 4 for dancing comfort! The bright color was so much fun.

Wore this to a Bachelorette Party. Very fun!
It was definitely a fun wear. Too short on me for something like a wedding, but perfect for attending a drag show for my cousin's Bachelorette party. The waist is lower in the back than the front, but the skirt is shorter in the back than the front (and it wasn't my rump keeping it shorter!) Seemed like an odd detail.

Felt awesome from all the compliments!
Fit was great. A reviewer had said there was no under-arm chafing--they were wrong. But beauty is pain, and it was worth it!
