Simple doesn't mean it can't be super sexy
I wore this for a gala at my boyfriend's law school, so I wanted to look classy, but also sexy (this is basically our big date night of the year). I am 5'6", 118 lbs, and a 34DD. I initially ordered the 4L because I planned on wearing 4 inch heels. However, the dress in that size was late/damaged, so I had to switch to the 4R last minute, which turned out to be the perfect length. One of the best features about this dress is that I can wear a regular bra (heaven!). My photo doesn't really pick up the cute tuxedo detail on the front of the dress, but it was another nice detail that kept this dress from veering into the boring black dress zone. I definitely recommend this dress, read the fit info carefully to decide on your length. It had a nice thick fabric that was fitted while being forgiving. Comfy to move and dance in. Definitely a head turner!

Perfect amount of dazzle
I didn't get a great picture of this, but it added the perfect amount of dazzle to my all black gown. It was comfortable - I have small wrists and it wasn't overwhelming and I didn't spend the even feeling it banging around on my arm like I do with bangles. It was high quality, no stones missing. Definitely worth the $10. One of the pieces I wish I could buy.

Very simple, but nice details keep it from being plain.
I really liked this dress and echo the other reviews that have been posted. The sleeves were a little short on me, but not comically so. I got a lot of comments on the high/low hemline, and the darts at the chest gave the dress a nice shape. I wore the size 4 and it fit nicely over my 34DD chest. The cut was really flattering. I ordered a statement piece necklace but ended up not wearing it. I would definitely recommend this dress.

Really cute and unique dress
I ordered this for an evening wedding at a beach resort in August - I thought the gold/white detail was nautical and would be a perfect fit. As others mentioned, the dress was a little on the short side for sitting (I'm 5'6" and it was mid-thigh on me standing and approaching the danger zone when sitting). The neckline is fairly low cut front and back, but it worked great with a strapless bra. Ladies with smaller busts could easily go braless since the material is thick and textured. I ordered the dress months ago so I was a little worried it might be worn after a so many orders, but it looked great. There was a very slight separation on the shoulder straps between white and gold lines, but other than that, fantastic. I'm strongly debating whether to buy this dress, that's how much I liked it.

This dress is gorgeous!
I ordered this as a last-minute replacement dress when my original order was no longer available to ship the day before my reservation. What seemed like a stressful nightmare actually turned out to be my lucky day because this dress was stunning. I ordered the 6R and the 4R backup to accomodate my bust. The only fit issue I had was that my bra was slightly visible on one side no matter how I maneuvered the girls in place, but that wouldn't be a problem for anyone with a D cup or smaller. The boning made the dress fit like a glove and hug my curves, sitting, standing, or dancing. You can definitely tell this is a high-end, designer dress. I did not have to pay the full rental price because it was a last-minute substitute; however, it would be worth it. I wore gold stilletos and a gold bag, but a pair of deep red shoes would have also looked fantastic.

Versatile; simple, yet bold
I wore a one-shoulder gown to a formal event and so couldn't wear a necklace. The bracelet and earrings were my only jewelry and this piece really stood out. Comfy (despite the size) and fun.

Beautiful gown; I got tons of compliments all night
I originally ordered this dress for a week in 2R and 4R, but after reading the reviews, I was worried I wouldn't be able to get either of those sizes to work with my boobs. I had to shorten the reservation to four days to get the 6R, but thank goodness I did. The 6R did fit my boobs, but you can see in the picture that the waist was a little loose. As others have said, the zipper itself is very hard to manage and I could not have gotten this dress on and zipped by myself. The slit is great, the dress was light and very flowy. There were a few snags in the dress close to the hem from previous use, but nothing too bad. I wore 4 inch sandals and the length was perfect for me. 3 inch would have also been fine.
