This beautiful color!!
I usually wear a 10 but they could only ship the 12. It was a bit loose on top but actually fit fine in the waist.

Best for a tall thin person
The flowy loose qualities of this dress just made it look matronly on my body. Perfect for someone thinner though.

Ended up buying it!
This is awesome for an hourglass shape. I ended up purchasing it. The picture looks like it gave me a belly but it was quite flattering when I stood up straight.

Loved this dress for an Indian wedding - it felt special, substantial and right for the occasion.
It is not stretchy. I do have an ample chest, and I can usually get away with an 8, but a 10 was needed in this dress.

This was perfect for a winter event. I wanted a long sleeved option and I was very happy with it
The fabric is forgiving in elasticity but not in showing lumps and bumps. I recommend control top tights or Spanx!

Gorgeous dress but oddly sized
The 12 was gigantic and I couldn't zip the 10. Mysterious huge gap in sizing!

Gorgeous dress for a black tie wedding
I wear a size 8 on top, 10 on bottom and am a 34D. It said size up for large busts but the 10 was enormous and 12 laughable. The 8 was perfect.
