Warm, cute dress for a night at the theatre
This is the tightest sheath dress I've ever worn—I am NEVER a size medium, but the small in this dress was so tight I could barely breathe; it was more bodycon than sheath. Wearing the medium made it much more sheath-like, though, and though it was still very conforming to every curve (or bulge), sizing up worked. It puckered a bit in the armholes because of the bigger size, but overall was a good dress for sitting at the theatre comfortably for several hours. I wouldn't suggest eating in this dress, or dancing, as it shows every bulge and rode up on my legs even when just walking to the cab. The material is very thick, and perfect to wear with tights on a cold night as I did!

Great 20s-style dress for a prohibition event!
Slip underneath runs small, but I was still able to wear my regular size since I'm on the small end of that size. If you're on the large end of your regular size, I recommend ordering up so the slip isn't too tight and the drop waist hits you in the right place.

New Year's Eve party rental
Very short, but because I'm a shorter person, it wasn't as huge a problem as it could have been. Wore it with tights for freezing NYE party night, so being a short dress was also not an issue. Great combination of gold and black, not overly blingy, but just enough for a fancy night out. Problems were only that it was a little itchy and tight in the arms, and any jewelry very easily gets caught in the fabric. Would have loved to have had a skinny black belt to wear with this instead of just the elastic waist, but it still looked fine without.

Bridal shower / dinner with bridesmaids -- perfect for a girl's night out!
Usually wear a 4 but wore a 2 in this thanks to previous reviews saying it ran big. The 2 fit perfectly and everyone who knew it was a rental told me I should buy the dress (wish I could afford it!) because it looked that good on me. Was warm where I was, but could definitely be worn with tights and a cardigan for fall/winter wear.

It fit fine, but it wasn't as nice-looking as it looked on the site. More punk-rocky than formal holiday party. This was my backup dress, so I didn't end up wearing it.

Not having to dry clean the dress!
For a shorter person like me, this dress was great because on a taller person it would be a mini, but on me, it was just above my knee, which almost never happens in regular (not petite) sized clothes. True to size and perfect for my semi-formal holiday party... and best of all, this dress had pockets that were well hidden, so I didn't even have to carry a purse or clutch!
