SO TINY! But gorgeous.
Size up! While the dress itself is beautifully made, well structured, and thick, I couldn't even zip up my normal size 4. The strongest spanx in the world wouldn't get me in this dress. I unfortunately couldn't wear it but the dress was lovely. I was super bummed. Get at least 2 sizes, both of them being 1 and 2 sizes up for sure!

This is a gown!
This is what I think of if you’d be in a pageant. This is a show stopping, heavy, sturdy, gorgeous gown. It’s very curvy hugging and plunging. Definitely for a formal event only.

Showstopper.
I wore this to Denver Fashion Week and had at minimum of 10 people stop me and ask me where I got my jumpsuit and how much they loved me. It was an amazing piece and I didn't want to take it off. I have a long torso so with any rompers or one pieces, it really rides up in my lady parts :P which wasn't horribly comfortable. You also have to take a friend to the bathroom to help get you in and out of it. So definitely not the most practical. But I felt confident and amazing in it.

Form Fitting, Flattering, Glowing Gown!
I could have lived in this dress. It was perfect for a fall vineyard wedding. It is VERY figure hugging, does not hide a thing, and I definitely had to wear spanx. But it was extremely comfortable and you can wear a normal bra, which is great. It is sexy but you're completely covered. Danced the night away even though it was long. The 4 regular was unfortunately not available so I had to grab a long and for 5'3, I held it up often. Otherwise, dream dress.

Not right for my body.
This was my backup dress and I absolutely hate to write a negative review but it was a very simple choice not to go with this one. The top black panel is very thick and heavy and smashed my boobs actually out the cut outs! Not the whole thing but I had some major under and side boob poking out, which was not appropriate for a formal event. The navy was thin and showed my undies line and every bump and curve. It was just not flattering for my figure personally.

A sophisticated sexy!
This dress. My gosh. Where to begin? It's unreal. The quality is amazing, the fit is amazing, the compliments were endless. I will warn though as someone who is smaller chested, this makes the girls look large! So if you're larger chested, I can't even imagine the cleavage. The regular skimmed the floor perfectly and I'm 5'3 with tall heels so I would recommend the long if you're taller. But my gosh, this dress. Nicole Miller nailed it.

This dress is HOT! physically and literally :)
It is suuuuuuper sexy and snug. Although I did go down a size to make sure it was fitted perfectly. Clover Canyon is known for their almost scuba like material and if it's not a perfect fit, it can look a little boxy. I got the S and XS and squeezed myself into the XS. I wouldn't recommend this dress for a night out in a tropical location, but an evening in Chicago in the fall, I was comfortable without being too hot or too cold.

Warm and Cozy but Sexy!
This dress is definitely tight, short, and hot. And hot in both heat and looks. :) I wore this to a fashion event in DC and was very comfortable outside in 55 degrees with no coat. Inside I was very warm. It was much thicker than I expected but it does suck it all in. Very short and sexy, careful of it riding up. I'd go one size up.

Perfect Party Outfit!
I ordered the 2 and 4 and definitely went with the 4. Even as a shorter person, the 2 was really snug in the um, crotch area, because it's a one piece The 4 had a little more breathing room. It makes your waist super small and is low cut, but length on the shorts aren't too, too short. It was just enough of sexy and covered. Pin the front though! And then dance the night away. Warning for going to the bathroom though! The whole thing has to come off. :)

Very bling!
I ended up not wearing these after all because it really, really dressed up my already fancy outfit for only a nice dinner event. I didn't want to be too over the top. They are definitely bling! And quite heavy. But beautiful. Would have been better with something more formal.

It makes you feel like you're floating.
Colors are absolutely stunning, the way it flows is beautiful, very well made and was an absolute dream dress. It is however, very busty even for me who's an A/B. And very long. I don't think it would have been an appropriate dress for a day event or anything less than a fancy party or wedding. I paired it with a white blazer for the ceremony and then danced the night away. Never worried about it slipping with the built in bra, so helpful.

Feminine, classy, colorful and comfortable.
My first rental turned out amazing. I originally grabbed the size 2 with a backup 4 and glad I'm did. It is a very tiny dress, short short short! I like mine a little bit more comfortable then super snug and the 4 was perfect. I originally thought it was sparkly but just a gorgeous slik under with a gorgeous crochet over. I wish I could keep this and wear it every where I go. I felt fantastic in it and had so many compliments.
