The color and length were great. It seemed well constructed. I'm generally a 14, and it wasn't unwearable, but I felt like I could bust a seam at any time in the stomach and hip region. I am a 38D/DD and it was completely unflattering. I wasn't able to zip it with a bra on. It made my chest look like one weird uniboob. All of this made the fact that it was tight worse yet, and there was no way I could wear it. I would recommend the dress to someone with a smaller bust.

The top is pretty narrow, so it is somewhat constricting. The dress didn't come with the belt, which I think made the top look frumpy because you didn't have the belt cutting it off and giving it definition. The color was very pretty, and the material was pretty nice. It also flowed really well, so I could see it being comfortable to dance in. Overall I think on a petite woman, and with the belt, this could be a really beautiful dress.

I found the proportions of this to be odd. The actual chest part of it wouldn't zip over my ribcage, but the bust still was a bit big. I'm a 38D, so I am not lacking in the bust. So I feel like this is cut for a very specific kind of body. I also felt like the neckline didn't fall right. Lastly, I didn't think it was made out of the nicest material. That all being said, the color was beautiful and on the right person I think this could be a fantastic. It just wasn't fantastic on me.

This dress wasn't bad. But I just didn't feel like it did anything for me. I also felt like the zipper fell kind of funny on the side, and as a result the dress wasn't smooth. I chose not to wear the dress, but think that it could look better on someone else.

I put on this dress and absolutely loved it. The zipper was a little tough, but once it was on it was fine. The chest was just a smidge tight when I was sitting - but when I was standing it was fine. I have a 38D - and found that my chest fit really well into it, but had to pay attention that my boobs didn't pop too far out. Overall though I felt like I was wearing the most beautiful dress in the room. I felt confident and amazing. I seriously can't recommend this dress enough. This picture isn't fantastic of my face, but I like the way the dress looks.

I loved this dress and got a ton of compliments on it. I had to size up because the bust of the smaller one didn't close - so that is something to be careful of. Other than that it fit well, was comfortable, and I loved it.
