Pretty, but runs SO tight, particularly around the arms.

Classy and elegant!
I have almost no complaints -- I could tell it was a little worn around some seams, but nothing noticeable. If you're pear shaped or have a big butt, I STRONGLY urge you to size up. I typically wear a size 2 in A-line dresses, but the 4 was tight around the hips and thighs on this dress. It didn't look bad but I could tell it pulled pretty tight across that area.

TINY!
Runs so tiny! Usually a size 2, sometimes a 4 -- the 2 wouldn't even close in the back. The size 4 was unfortunately available, but it looked like a killer dress (if I'd had the right size)!

Almost perfect!
Pros: 1) The color is amazing. A blueish red, so it really compliments pale skin tones and even though it's red, it doesn't slap you in the face with the color. 2) The length -- I'm 5'3", and the 40R brushed the ground in 4-inch heels. 3) The fit -- if you're unsure, size down. The 42R ended up bunching really weirdly around the hips, and it just looked sloppy. The 40R was very sleek. If you're worried about problem areas, please don't -- the fabric is quite thick and it somehow hides everything and leaves a very polished silhouette. Cons: 1) Wrinkles pretty easy, and arrived quite wrinkled 2) The thing I took off a star for -- in the picture, you can see a little band around my midsection. There's a piece of fabric on the inside of the top of the dress -- almost like a faux bra top? But not thick enough that you couldn't wear a bra. The edge of the fabric rolled up inside the dress and made an annoying little line that you could see through the fabric. Considering this is supposed to be such a sleek dress, that little line of fabric really bugged me. All in all, made me feel incredible, and I got compliments all night. Recommended!

Old-fashioned and elegant
Pictures can't really do it justice at all! This is very elegant, sparkly but not overpowering, and it feels so timeless. Art-deco, I guess? Whatever the right term is, it feels kind of Old Hollywood. I absolutely recommend it.

Felt like a princess!
When my boyfriend saw me in this dress, he just said "Wow -- you're so beautiful," and couldn't take his eyes off of me all night. It's incredibly classy, and the color is beautiful, especially if you're really pale, like I am. It does run pretty small, so size up, but it is nice and stretchy. The only con was that it felt very worn -- some holes in the lace, but not very noticeable, if at all.

So short???
Okay, I'm 5'2", so I'm a true petite. But this dress was SO SHORT! Even without any heels on, it came to around my ankles. So bizarre. The color is lovely and the style is pretty and flowy but it was just too, too short. I probably would have fit really well into the regular length.

Gorgeous -- but too big/long!
First of all, if you're 5'2" or under, this dress probably won't work for you. I'm 5'2", and even in my tallest heels, this would have dragged. I thought I'd fit comfortably into a 4R, but it ended up being a little baggy -- I felt like if I wore it, it'd fall off all night! About 2 inches shorter and one size smaller and I would have adored it/
