Beautiful, Flattering, Comfortable, Loads of Compliments
This is probably the perfect, most versatile dress. I wore it to a spring wedding but the dusty blue would work for all seasons, IMO. I'm glad I got the medium long as a back-up size. I'm 5'8" but I think it was my humps that made the dress shorter than I expected from other reviews. The MR didn't quite touch the floor when I was barefoot. The dress is gorgeous. It has a nice weight and cut so that you feel held in without feeling like you'll pop a seam or that there's no room for your dinner. Flattering and not hot when you're dancing your face off. If you don't have a big chest, have some cutlets ready otherwise the seams pucker right at the nipple and it looks weird. If you do, the girls are going to be front and center; I'd tape them to avoid a slip. Note, I have a wide back and almost couldn't get it zipped alone. The liner was a good color and not too light for my skin. If you have big booty, it might not fit in the liner, which doesn't stretch. Listen to everyone and wear wedges because the liner only goes to mid-thigh so you'd almost certainly step in a lace hole and die while dancing. So those are the caveats but I loved this dress! I think it would look good on a lot of different bodies and I'd highly recommend it. I'd rent it again.

A No-Brainer. Classically Beautiful and Flattering.
Nice structure, holds you in without feeling like you stuffed yourself into it. If I owned this dress I would wear it often. Probably not good if you have a super-broad back, because I was cutting it close.

Flattering fit, well made, tough zipper.
I wore this dress to a Fall wedding in Northern California. It was ultra flattering, but a little tough to move in. The fabric didn't give and the cut restricted movement at the shoulders. That said, if you don't dance too much, this neckline is gorgeous and the dress is lovely.

Beautiful but more periwinkle than grey. Tight in the shoulders.
I loved this dress and found the quality to be remarkably high. My biggest disappointment was the fit. I have muscular shoulders and though the 6 fit perfectly everywhere else, the buttons behind the shoulders/at the neck would only button on the 8; I mean, not even close. I like to think that I could've forced the buttons if I didn't plan to turn-down-for-nothing dance, but nay. Also, not great if you are tall because it's a little short such that the cups don't stay under your boobs. I would not recommend this dress for anyone with an athletic build because you'll probably have to size up and thus, look heavier, but it would be good otherwise. The built-in bra was supportive. The dress is gorgeous. Just gorgeous.

This dress is fabulous. I usually wear a 4 or 6 and the 42 was perfect. Just a thought, though, B-cups might like a little push-up bra if cleavage is desired. Other than that, my bum has never looked better. You WILL steal the show.
