I love the pattern, but the dress fit me weirdly. I'm 5'10 and 170lb and definitely an hourglass shape. I wish I could have combined the L and the M dresses. The M would have been perfect for my waist and chest, but was WAY too tight in the arms, of all things. The L fit my arms, but was bunching up under my bust and was almost loose everywhere else. I did like that I could wear a normal bra and undies and it was comfortable to wear while sitting (a huge plus), but as much as I wanted to love this dress, I really didn't.

I loved the fit of this dress - super flattering for hourglass figures. Rented it for my office holiday party and got lots of compliments! It was a hair shorter than I'd like, but it still looked great. My only regret was not getting a picture in it!

I loved the stretch in the fabric - it hugged my curves. I did wear spanx underneath to smooth everything but overall found the fabric pretty forgiving. The green was perfect for my office holiday party, and the sleeves were appropriate for the weather in the Rockies in December. Overall, really loved the dress.

First, apologies for the poor picture; my friend and I completely forgot to get some good photos of us that night. The dress fit me in both the 8 and 10, however, I knew I'd be eating a ton as well as dancing later on in the night, so I chose to go with the 10 for a little extra room. I was surprised that only the top button in back unbuttoned, however, there's a zipper on the side. The dress was a good length standing (not too short), but once seated, I had to be careful of showing too much leg! I found that the fabric around the arms rubbed me a bit, but I am known for having sensitive skin, and it wasn't bad once I stopped thinking about it. Overall, the dress is not made of very giving fabric which makes it very forgiving; I didn't wear hose with it because I didn't need to suck anything in or smooth anything out - the dress did it for me. I highly recommend this dress!
