Way too revealing
This dress is wide opened. The contrast between the naked breast and the amount of fabric is not a success. I do not recommend.

Did not end up wear the dress.
The cut of the dress is perfect: chic and elegant at the same time. But the issue if with its transparency on the legs: on me, it simply looked vulgar, with or without thighs...

This dress color is simply delightful.
I wore this dress for a wedding, and felt like a goddess all evening. I received plenty of compliments and praises. I think that the color is really nice on blonds.

An interesting dress
So, the bottom part of the dress, with pockets, is nice and shiny/chic. The belt with small added strass is, to me, not the best idea and does not add to anything. Then comes the top: as many have said, it is difficult to make it hold nicely in the back: it keeps moving, looks lose, and there were also openings on the side when I walked (maybe the dress is made for bustier women). To summarize, I like it, and am happy that a 4 fits me, but I could not wear it because the whole interest of the dress is its back and top, and it is the very part that looked faulty on me.

A nice dress - on the long side.
This dress is made out of a very nice and shiny fabric, that feels quite expensive. The fit is classical and actually rather fine on my body-type. I have to send it back and will not wear it because it is too big on me (and not flattering) especially at the breast level. Moreover, the length is also too much for me - I would have to wear very high heels to pull it off.

A nice everyday dress
It was the only dress that really suited and fitted me out of my Unlimited delivery. I have kept it, because if I do not find anything else, I will be wearing it at a Wedding. It is not very formal, but nice looking. At first, my husband thought that it would look "old" and that the fabric looked like "curtains". But once worn, he thought that the cut looked nice and chic on me. I personally love the fabric, which is very light and delightful to wear. If I end up wearing it at the wedding, I will wear my hair in a bun and add hearing - and also were high-heels to make it a little bit "dressier". As such it is a nice dress that you can wear to work (if your work place is not too formal), or for picnics etc.

The dress was alas too big for me...
The upper part of the dress is shinier than what it looks like on pictures. It is at the same time "too" dressy, and to some extent not dressy enough - a weird fashion statement. The bottom was fine on me, but the top just did not stay in place... So I would definitely recommend picking a smaller size. Also, if you have an athletic built like me, maybe looking at dresses with sleeves is a better choice.

A nice dress but not flattering on me
I have already sent this dress back and will not be wearing it. It is true to size, and in a rather nice fabric, but makes it look like I have enormous hips and a big back. It is just not very nice on me, and I looked as an overdressed prom-going teen, not as an adult. But I see from the pictures available on the site, that it is a nice dress for some people - maybe I am just not thin enough and too athletic for it.

Rented for a work event but did not end up wearing (too small)
The cut is interesting: it is very formal at the top, but slightly too short to stay formal on the legs (shows skin there). Also, it was fine for me on the bust area but two small at the skirt level (the folds "opened") and I fear that a bigger size would have been to big at the top...

I rented this dress for a Wedding but did not wear it in the end (I will rent something else)
The dress feels very "princess": it is rather long, heavy, with great fabric. Nobody mentioned the back, but it has great potential. Alas, the dress was slightly too small for me (skirt area fitting great, but bust area to small and impossible to close even though I have a small bust)

I ordered the dress to wear to a party.
I could not alas truly fit in the dress mostly because the bottom area was tight but the top larger than needed (I usually wear a 4, but here, should have gone with a 6). It is a nice dress, with fabric more "shiny" looking than on the picture.
