Elegant, unique and stunning
This dress stands apart because it is so unique. Its a stunning dress that throws an eye catching twist on your basic black gown. I was a little surprised to discover the long sleeve/mock neck piece has sort of shawl layer to it. Its hard to describe but its like a layer over the dress. I received a lot of compliments and overall Im pleased however there were some issues: there were a couple of fit problems. A little puckering in places like at the back, bottom of the zipper. The material is very thin so i think the puckering was caused by the bulky zipper base. Also a slight puckering at long sleeve shoulder. As i said the material is very thin so in pictures with a flash, i could see through to my bra. Sorry i always forget to take pics!

This was in my top two favorite dresses in my lifetime! The response was overwhelming!
Absolutely stunning! Simple, edgy, unique, classy. The detail on the front is as amazing as the back. Simply gorgeous. I was flooded with compliments all night and halfway through the night my husband told me he was fielding an overflow of compliments. The dress was a little straight fitting which is why I rated it as running a little on the small side, but not much. If you are really curvy, you might not like the fit. There is a strap on the back (center lower vertical) that did not lay flush with my back as I moved which was not ideal but still didn't take too much away from look. Absolutely loved this dress!

Great dress for certain body types
The other reviewers are dead on and were very helpful: this dress runs small and isn't cut for generous curves. I just barely got into a 12 (I normally wear a ten) and it was snug on my hips and chest. While my chest is large, my hips are average so this is definitely for the more narrow body types. As for the "pouch" others mentioned, yes it can have one. I think the idea is that if the dress fits your body type, the dress tries to be "forgiving" instead of clingy in the tummy area. For me, it worked but if the dress doesn't hit you just so, it can definitely create a pouch. I wore this for a bridal shower (tea at the Drake Hotel, upscale spot) and it was perfect for the occasion. I got a lot of compliments. I loved the color and texture of the dress. Overall, it worked out for me but this is a risky rental since the fit isn't going to work for everyone. Sorry, no pics yet. I usually forget to take pics. If someone else sends me one, I will post.

Such a simple, stunning dress. Unique and eye-catching. I received many compliments!
Hugs in all the right places with a great stretchy material that is very forgiving. Because it is black in the front, you get all of the slimming effect of a LBD with a surprise twist when you turn around. The chain adds an edgy, unique touch. The fit of the dress is slightly askew at the top and over time one of the straps came slightly down my shoulder. I am not sure if it was supposed to do this but it looked good that way too.
