I received so many compliments and didn't want to send it back! AND POCKETS!
I was a bit nervous given all the reviews with the sizing being all over the place, so I stuck with my typical 6/8 and the 6 was perfect! Perfect length, great fit on my waist and I was able to wear my typical strapless bra without dress tape and didn't have to tug it up once! My only issue was the bunching of the fabric along the bubble hem. The front would not lay flat, but by the time I was dancing, I forgot all about it.

Great for NYE Gala!
I selected this after the outfit I originally picked was not available. The dress was a great length and fabric was very comfortable, but I couldn't go without a bra (D cup). I ended up buying one of those chicken cutlet style stick on bras (invest in a good one!) and that worked well since all my strapless bras either showed through the cutouts or out the top. I would have liked a little tighter on the straps, but worked out well and I received some compliments!

Great fit for a business gala dinner
I wore this dress to a foundation dinner with peers from my industry and received tons of compliments. I got the 6 and 8 and could have used something a little tighter, but I made due. Definitely thankful I bought the fashion tape since you need it for the area under your arm on the cape side and the fabric was about loose throughout, but it worked and was comfortable.

Did not use
I thought the fabric was going to be a lot nicer from the pictures since I was going to wear this to a wedding in DC. Was disappointed in the fit in the waist, so between the fit and fabric, I sent it back.

Great fit for evening wedding in DC!
Received lots of compliments. The fabric was incredibly comfortable but I was pulling it down a bit and twisting the bottom for the slit to line up correctly. Wore with red shoes, silver jewelry and a red clutch for a pop of color.

I received lots of compliments on this dress that I wore for an evening fall wedding.
As others mentioned, the zipper is a bit tough and the sequins do itch/scratch a little bit, especially when dancing, but all in all, a great dress!
