While my gala got canceled and I actually didn't get to wear it outside of my messy bedroom :(, I'm really pleased with this dress. It was flattering from all angles and the slit was super sexy without being too much. If you're taller than 5'6" I would order the long version or size up; I probably would have gone with kitten heels so it was the appropriate length. Color was a rich, royal purple and yay for being able to wear a normal bra!

Loved this dress! Got lots of compliments. I was 19 weeks pregnant at the time and was grateful it had lots of stretch to accommodate my growing stomach! The colors were gorgeous - The blue is more cobalt than sky (so darker than pictured on the model). Easy to move, sit, and dance in. Felt very glamorous with minimal effort. Potential cons: The sequins around the arms are pretty itchy, but nothing you can't muscle through. The back is deep enough you can't wear a traditional bra with it.

This was a fantastic dress for the outdoor wedding we went to in Jamaica. I went with the 10R for a little more length and moving room for dancing. It was thick enough to not show every lump, but not so thick that it was overwhelming in the heat. I had never done a cutout before (I'm a pretty conservative dresser), but I felt sexy with just this little triangle missing. My husband loved it too, and liked having his hand right there all night. For women who prefer higher heels, you may want to order the long - I'm 5'6" and the regular skimmed the ground in a low 1" wedge sandal for me. Loved that I could wear a normal bra. The skirt flairs out for more of a mermaid fit (but it's not too tight). I got a ton of compliments too!
