Contour Collection Side Ruched Cocktail Dress

Loved everything about this dress. So comfortable and flattering with the ruching. Navy was just a gorgeous color!!! Get it!

I ordered this in an 8 and a 6. The fabric is heavy weight but has a good amount of stretch. They both fit. The 6 was a little more fitted so I went with that one. I am 5'5" and 155 lbs for reference. I usually where about an 8 so it may run a little big. There is a drape across the front so the fabric touching your skin is not the fabric that you see. This means there's no belly button divot; woo hoo! (its a pet peeve of mine so I figured I'd mention it.) The fabric is cool to the touch but not sure how breathable it will be. Great for an evening wedding. Great construction and quality. All in all a fantastic purchase.

This dress is so pretty! The charcoal/bluish color is beautiful. It has a very pretty design so I was very excited to receive it. It looked awful on me! The material in the front gathers to the side and it was just too much material and it caused me to look heavier. I'm small busted and the top was too big yet my butt is wide and it was snug there. It probably was just the wrong style for me. The material is very unforgiving in the back (it almost felt scuba-like). I had read that the dress runs large but I completely disagree. I'm an 8-10 and the 10 was snug on my butt. This was certainly not right for me but it's a beautiful dress.

I bought this for my niece's wedding in two weeks so cannot yet comment on how it looks and feels after a few hours of fun. But I can say the plum is a vivid, royal purple and simply a beautiful color. The fit with the ruching hides a multitude of sins and the little bling on the side is festive without being too much. I am 5'6', could easily lose 10 lbs and the dress looks like it was made for me. But only after I bought the correct foundation garments. The magic of the Nordstrom lingerie dept. took me from an ill fitting size 12 to a 10P all because of the right bra. A truly transformative experience. So, if you try it on and it looks great in the front but "bunchy" in the back, take it over to lingerie.

The material has stretch and the dress is very comfortable. I weigh 140 lbs. and am 5'3, and it is sliming and the gathering on the dress accents in all the right areas. The length is perfect (especially for older legs). The broach at the side of the waist is tasteful and not cheap. I am wearing this to my son's wedding and feel fabulous in it! Love the charcoal color as it is almost black but not as harsh as black on your skin tone. The color makes it interesting as you are not sure what color it is. Dress is well made and you will not be sorry if you purchase this.

Pictures don't do this dress justice. I wasn't even going to try on when it came,but did and my husband said wow! It is figure flattering and comfy. It is not super dressy, so depends what you need it for.

Wearing this in June as a mother of the bride. I love that I can wear a regular bra & the side rushed detailing allows me to feel comfortable without the need for support garments. The photo is showing a little lose on top as I'm not zipped all the way up.

Can I give this dress 10 stars? My favorite cocktail dress ever! Not too revealing...not too tight (love the stretch of the fabric). Fitted, but yet covers my tummy bulge. Loved the little extra bling.

Really cute dress, stretchy and comfortable! I bought two, one wine, and navy size 6 and 8, both fit well. I couldn’t tell much difference in the sizes. I am 5’4”, 140 pounds. I tend to have a stomach pooch. The ruching hid my imperfections well! I would recommend.

Returning.... the dress is true to size.... the material is NOT for ME..... thick .... hot...felt like a dive suit.... DID not like the unfinished hems .... Price vs Quality did not match

Rich color, nice weight fabric, true to size, good length and very flattering style. Sexy without being tacky. Comfortable to wear all evening. The only reason that it doesn't get five stars? The finishing on the hem of the dress. I guess it's because of its fabric, but an unfinished hem on a cocktail dress is odd to me. I would have preferred some kind of finish to it. By the way, if you need shoes to wear with it, the Imagine by Vince Camuto in Warm Charcoal are about as perfect as you can find.

I've been looking for a dress for my daughter's wedding in June. I had tried 4 already before I saw this one (all online purchases). This dress is the perfect one. The color is beautiful and the style is very complimentary. The material stretches and is not too thick, but it is thick enough to hide any "imperfections."
