Absolutely gorgeous! I loved it so much that I splurged and bought the dress online! Beautiful, luxe fabric. This dress is just so unique but also classic at the same time. CLASSY (felt like it left something to the imagination with no cleavage) but DEFINITELY will turn heads! Not for a wallflower! Wore it with nude hose, nude 5-inch pumps and minimal jewelry. Ladies, please don't cover up this dress with a shawl or tons of jewelry. This dress is all the statement you need. I think it's gorgeous w/ gold jewelry, though. The ombre colors are gorgeous! Going from a beautiful cream at the top to a stunning hot pink at the waist (the waist is extra cinched and very slimming) down to a deep burgundy at the bottom. I wore it off the shoulder - what I love is that the straps have a slightly sticky inside band so they hold down. You can't wear a normal bra with this because it will peek out the sides and the lines will show through the tight fabric. I wore an adhesive, front-only bra with no sides or back. I was nervous about sizing. The XS fit me perfectly (meaning it was VERY tight). I normally wear a 0 or 2 in dresses. I never like to go "bare leg" with a dress so I wore a pair of SEAMLESS nude hose (Wolford Fatal). Any kind of seams will show through the dress (if you must do underwear, wear a seamless pair). I see a lot of women on here wearing the wrong HL size (in my opinion).... too big. The dress should not slip on easily. I was able to zip mine up myself but it took a couple minutes of struggling! It should fit like a second skin... that will give you the Spanx-like/hourglass enhancing fit that you want. If you need someone else to zip you up, then you know you're wearing the right size :)
