I loved the look of this, but as a 34D was totally busting out of it. I couldn’t find a bra that worked and finally gave up. If you are bigger on top, I’d suggest sizing up!

This is a beautiful dress that got me several compliments at a cocktail party. I liked wearing it and felt beautiful. However, it had clearly been rented lots of times, and I'd argue the particular dress I got was past its prime. The top, which is shown as a shimmery gold in the pictures (as well as many user photos) had faded to black, with just a little hint of gold remaining. The zipper had no clasp at the top and seemed to have lost its grip power. I had to use a carefully placed safety pin at the top to keep it from sliding down. Finally, several spots in the top were stretched out or ripped, but that was pretty easy to hide depending on how you draped it. Otherwise I liked the heavy fabric of the skirt, and it was comfortable for a long evening and didn't ride up. I think if you get a newer, less-used version you will have a better time. I would have given 5 stars if it were in better shape.

This was a replacement dress for another one that had a tear. Luckily it fit perfectly and looked fabulous. I got lots of compliments, particularly on the color. This dress works well for curvy girls, and I was able to wear a regular bra with it (occasionally a bit of nude strap showed, but it wasn't too noticeable). I wish I had some garment tape for the bustline since it occasionally folded down a bit. I loved that it was a bit longer which kept it balanced with the low neckline and gave it an overall classy look.

I loved this dress online, and it gets deservedly good reviews, but just didn't work on me. The bottom in the size 10 was extremely tight, even with Spanx underneath. Meanwhile, the top was far too big (and I'm a 38C or 38D depending on the bra, so I'm not too small). The side gapped a bit, and the blousy draping on the top just didn't do my body any favors. I suspect this dress would look most spectacular on someone who's less curvy.
