Strapless Mixed Media Gown

So what I will say is that this dress does run very small . For reference I am 5'5 and 180 lb and Im usually between an 8 and a 10 and I am wearing a 12 here and it was definitely a struggle to get it zipped up. But once you're realistic about the sizing and not focused on the number it's actually a quite flattering dress for someone who is curvy and may be fuller in the bust as I am . The ruching in the back gives you behind some shape and I also have a bigger hip area and it's definitely flattering. Also, with it being a little bit tighter in the corset top It definitely gives you some structure and hold which I appreciate because I probably don't have to wear a full shapewear with a bra top. If you are not curvy and have a smaller bust you're not going to find this flattering, you need the curves to give this the shape it needs . If you are petite and have to have it hemmed it probably will take away from the drama of the dress and I would not recommend it. As for someone who wrote in a previous review that it's detached from the bodice, It's actually supposed to be that way so that it can drape, that's not a mistake. Overall I think some people don't understand the design of this dress and the trend with the bodice being a different material than the drape and this whole design trend. I am wearing this for a fancy wedding in the fall. Happy with my purchase

Wore to a black tie wedding and it was everything, so many compliments on it and it’s so forgiving. Usually a 4 or 6 so ordered both to try and 4 fit perfect!

Beautiful dress but doesn’t wear well. After one wear, the bonding completely bent and the dress was sliding down all night because the boning wasn’t holding it in place. Such a shame because it was beautiful and flattering on.

I already had a dress for my friend's wedding and then I spotted this in store and immediately tried it on. As soon as I did, I knew it was the one. It fits my body type perrrrrrrfectly and I've had a hard time finding things that make me feel confident in my body (recovered from a restrictive eating disorder). As soon as I put it on I felt beautiful and comfortable with my body shape which says A LOT. It's gorgeous in the periwinkle purple and is perfect for the Italian spring wedding I'm going to.

You guys. This dress is seriously the most comfortable formal gown I’ve ever worn. Now, every person’s body is obviously different. I am 5’4”, 160 lbs, smaller chest, smaller hips, wider shoulders, bigger arms. I normally wear size 10 in dresses, but the size 12 in this dress was perfect for me. So likely need to size up. The top is very stretchy and forgiving. You think the zipper is not going to zip but once it does, it fits like a glove. Not tight, not uncomfortable. Can breathe, sit, move, and dance easily! Does NOT feel like a strapless dress that you have to keep pulling up. Very secure. I suspect this dress could look very flattering in every body type, just may need to try different sizes to find the best fit. Try it on!

This was super small. Corset part was nice but I’m 5’3 and the dress still wasn’t hitting the ground. Very small. Material looked cheap in person.
