Elegant dress
I could not wear the dress because my usual size 8 didn't fit. The fabric is not stretchy, so for someone with wide shoulders (although I have cup size A), it didn't fit. I think the dress runs small. I was broken-hearted because the backup size 10 I wanted wasn't available.

Charming
This dress is charming. The true color is like a burnt red, not candy red. It needs a Spanx so you don't show undies marks. I'm usually a medium but chose the large because it fit snugger. Hipsy women should look better in it than I did, but I still liked the look. Don't plan on wearing a necklace, as it competes with the small accent bow.

Elegant and different
I wore this dress for an outdoors daytime event in winter. The color is steel blue more than navy blue. The fabric is soft and hugs your body. Wear it with a Spanx to erase the inelegant underwear lines, and choose a larger size, as it's going to hug your curves anyway, and it doesn't look good if too tight. The bells on the sleeves give it a nice contemporary touch.

Felt like a princess
I wore this dress to an Inaugural Ball. It fit comfortably and didn't require bra, because it is fully lined. It looked elegant and the emerald green in it is beautiful. I don't have wide hips, but I imagine someone with wide hips finding it tight around that area. I felt like a princess in it!

A finished look from all angles
These earrings complemented my green Badgley Mischka gown extremely well, and gave me a finished polished elegant look for the formal event I attended.

Stunningly elegant, queen of the night dress
Wore this dress for my brother's wedding by the tropical seaside in late afternoon/ early evening. I wanted a mermaid look, and I got it. Wore it with an updo for complete look, and the suggested long earrings. The dress looked spectacularly head-turning. If you are curvy, especially buttocks, it looks sexy and flattering. It's an amazingly comfortable dress. Take into consideration the fabric is heavy so make sure to wear heels high enough so you don't have to help the gen clear the floor by carrying the fabric (I switched to flats at the end of the party and had to lift the hem).

Elegant and comfortable
True to size, this dress is elegant and the fit was very comfy. Wore it to a ball, and it looked flattering with the updo, which allows you to show-off the detail on the back. Wore it with golden fabric sandals, to tie-in with the gold thread of the beautiful fabric. I felt well-dressed and elegant.
