Pretty & Did The Trick!
This dress was VERY pretty. Perfect for my St. Patrick’s day formal event! It did not run small, as I believe others had said. I think it ran true to size, if not the tiniest bit big. Lots of fabric on the bottom of this dress, so just be aware when standing up from sitting, using an escalator, etc. Overall, a very nice dress, nice fit and look.

Classy, Comfy, and Complimented!
I wore this dress to a black tie event with my husband’s work. (It was actually the back-up dress, too!) For reference, I am almost 5’9”. A very small 34B, and bigger hips and rear-end. This dress fit true to size for me, with it being SLIGHTLY big in the bust, but most likely because I am SMALL in the bust. VERY COMFORTABLE!! You do have to be slightly careful when climbing stairs and/or getting out of the car due to the slit in the front. I loved it, and received so many compliments all night long! If you’re on the fence about this dress— get off it, and rent it!!

Great Dress- lots of compliments!
I loved this dress, and received so many compliments on it! The fit was great for me. I ordered a size Small and a Medium for my backup size, but it was not needed. I went with the Small. It was perfect all around. Great length, generous throughout the whole dress. Ever so slightly big in the bust area— but, I’m tiny there. I debated wearing a belt around the midsection, as some others had recommended, but I thought both ways looked equally nice, so I kept it simple and went without the belt. Red heels are a nice touch for this look, too. One less thing to worry about! For reference, I am 5’ 8 1/2”, 34B (barely!) and wider in the butt and hips area. I wore this to a fundraiser here in Pittsburgh in March.

One Shoulder Pleated Dress

Runs a bit small, color is deeper than photo, very high slit, but VERY pretty
I am 5’9”, 34 B, and currently 160 lbs. (recently diagnosed with postpartum hypothyroidism, so thus my extra weight and need for something to wear to this wedding!) I initially ordered a Medium, but it was so small that I couldn’t even get the zipper up in the back. So I exchanged for a large, and it fit perfectly! Beware, the slit on the left leg is VERY high. I used double sided fashion tape to help with that. The back is also open, so consider that when thinking about a bra to wear. I paired it with some flashy suede pumps- and the look was perfect for a formal winter wedding! Spanx, too of course. But you will need the kind with shorts, as to not show any lines. The color is deeper than pictured. I loved it even more! I would totally wear this again!

Blue Jade Dress

Super Comfy! Pretty Color!
Much like the other reviews, I agree that this dress shows all your "details". So, if needed - find a great pair of SPANX to wear underneath! I ordered a size 4L and 6L and ended up wearing the 4L. It's very comfortable and pretty forgiving, it's just the material that ends up revealing any imperfections. I am pear shaped, with a pretty small bust, but it worked out great! And again, as others have mentioned, the length on this dress is shorter than some other gowns I've gotten on here. I wouldn't say that I turned heads in this dress but it is a safe choice for many occasions I would say. Color is pretty! A reddish-magenta, and SUPER COMFY!!

Didn't end up wearing because..
This dress was "fun" I suppose, but definitely did nothing for my pear-shaped figure. Wasn't enough shape, and some of the stars seemed to be peeling away from the dress. I wanted to like it... but didn't. I also found that it ran large. I ordered a 4L and a 6L, but could have maybe even done a 2!!
