Sexy and elegant
This is a hell of a dress. It's very flattering on and has a nice stretch to it. Just be aware that the seam at the waistline has no stretch, so that part must fit, although the rest of the dress has room for curvy women. Also, if you're inclined to wear shapewear, you can do so and the cutout is high enough that it won't show your Spanx. :) Got so many compliments on this dress; it's a great choice!!

The print on this dress is so fun -- it really stood out from the others at the wedding!
The dress runs a little small and doesn't have much stretch. On a very hot summer night, I was glad I went with the bigger size so I had room to breathe. But sizing up, I needed a belt so I added a skinny gold one. It is VERY short so that's something to keep in mind based on your height and how formal the event is.

Wore this to a shower - got many compliments!
The dress has no stretch so I would recommend sizing up for the backup (I wore the 4 instead of the 2). The cut is really flattering, though, and I felt good in it.

A stranger came up to me at the wedding to tell me I had "hands down, the best dress here"!
It runs large so I only ordered the XS and it fit fine. The cinched waist seemed to really need a belt, otherwise it creates an odd visual in the middle of your body. I added a gold chain necklace as my "belt" and it worked out fine. I got so many compliments at the wedding - the dress is a real show stopper!

The dress is simple, chic, and universally flattering
Oddly, the size 4 was a little shorter than the size 2. So I went with the smaller one so I was showing a little less leg in church even though the 4 was a slightly looser and more comfortable fit.

I loved this dress, and my boyfriend did too!
The dress was truly flattering and I got a ton of compliments! It definitely runs small though. I'm usually a size 2-4 and I had to wear the medium. It also took a team of people to get the zipper up because there's no hook at the top ... do not plan to get ready for your event alone! Otherwise, I loved this dress and would totally recommend it to anyone going for a sexy yet sophisticated look!
