Figure flattering
I wore this to a bridal shower and a dinner date. It was very comfy and flattering, and very high quality!

Perfect party dress
Super fun dress with a feminine silhouette. The material is structured but not heavy. The cap sleeves would be a little tough to dance in, but it was great for a dinner party.

Easy dress
I love the front zipper and easygoing silhouette. It does run large - I think I could go another size down for a better look.

Got engaged in this dress!
I wore this fun dress to work on a Friday with a navy blazer, and then straight to dinner and a wine class for date night - turned out my boyfriend had bigger plans for the evening. He surprised me with a proposal and had a photographer on hand to capture the moment and do a quick shoot after. The dress was perfectly feminine and romantic. It has plenty of room in the bust but I did have to wear spanx for my tummy. It's nice and light for warmer months, even with the undergarments. I bought the dress, and as a bonus, it's machine washable!

Hello Tummy, my old friend
Loved the look and feel of this dress (pretty slip underneath!) and it would be great for a vacation - unfortunately the colorblocking hits just so and emphasizes my stomach - the kind that no spanx will smooth out. After a glass of wine, I was less self-conscious but it wasn't the hit I had been hoping for.

"Made for you"
I hate the cliche that the dress fit like a glove BUT IT DID. I went with the 12 because it cinched my waist a bit more (34") and my boobs felt more secure even though they were fairly exposed. I managed to find a plunge bra on Amazon that worked wonders under the dress and didn't show. The 14 covered them more but the top and straps were too loose. (As it turned out, the dress got a bit more comfortable anyway over the course of the night, despite eating and drinking well.) At 5'5", the dress hovered barely off the ground and I was happy to wear flats. Also POCKETS accommodated my cell phone and lipstick. I truly felt like a princess in this amazing dress. My only complaint is that I had to restrain my dancing. Although I wasn't worried about a wardrobe malfunction, I was self-conscious about the jiggle. I was also self-conscious on how to photograph with my SO, because the sideboob was a bit aggressive.

A bit too tight
It's a beautiful, heavyweight dress. I badly wanted to wear it but only the 12 was available. Unfortunately I wasn't able to zip it past my waist (34')

Not for me
The dress fit my body, but I have a wide waist (34') and this made me look even wider than I am. I felt like a linebacker in a tutu. I tried adding scarves and cardigans with no luck.

Fun and flirty!
This dress was comfortable and cute for everyday. I wore it to a casual happy hour and a brunch. Great for a timeless look. I paired with a red purse and strappy sandals. The XL had plenty of room, but still provided good coverage because the straps are adjustable. I would rent again!

Too small
Beautiful dress but the 14 was too small for my waist (34') and hips (40'). I was able to tie it, but my chest was exposed and it did not fall or lay right.
