Love this dress!!
Loved this dress!!! I tried on 8 dresses for a gala and this one was the winner in RED!! I am 5‘8“ and I wore a 4 inch stiletto, this dress was almost too long but I survived without having it altered. It hugged my body in all the right places and although it was not very stretchy, it did quickly relax enough so that I was comfortable all night. I am long and lanky with a size 34B cup. There was room in the chest but not much in the size small.
To all of the ladies out there, everyone wears black! Try something different! Most of the compliments I received were about the color. It was not revealing, the slit was not too high, it ironed very well and that is so important! If you are a woman who does not look good in a strapless dress, the one shoulder is beautiful. I love this dress and i hope to one day were it again!!

Beautiful dresses... sizes are off.
I order this dress in blue in size small for a wedding I’m attending in May. I didn’t love the blue color so I exchanged it for the black. Although the color was more appealing, the size small was ATLEAST an entire size up from the small in the blue, very odd. Just returned the size small in black for an extra small.

Smart Black Tie Dress.
Went to a black tie wedding in Napa so this dress was a simple & elegant choice. I’m 5”5, 128lbs, size D bra and bought a size S. I had to have the dress shortened by about 6 inches, plus an extra dart put in the bust to pull it in & stop my boobs from falling out every time I bent forward. I felt it was a little pricey for what it was.

Simply Sophisticated
This dress is simply sophisticated!!! The fit is true to size and is very flattering on. I love that the slit is sexy without going to far and the bottom flakes out enough to add an additional wow factor! I love this dress

Pretty From A Distance
The dress is a lovely style and shape but the material looks cheap so I returned.

Beautiful Dress, but Poor Fit
Unfortunately, this dress just didn’t work for me. I’m 5’4, so I already knew I would need to get the length taken in. However, the fit was off overall. The seam at the waist hit much lower than my waist, which just looked odd and unflattering. Also, I’m fairly busty (34DD) and the neckline didn’t provide the structure or support that I’d expect from a $300 dress. I really wanted to love it, but the fit just didn’t work. If you’re tall and smaller up top, this may work for you. The green color was stunning and the material was very nice! I was sad I had to return it, but I could not make it work without spending another $100 on alterations.

Runs Small - provides nice shape
I ordered 4 dresses all small (4) this is the only one I couldn’t get zipped. The fabric had me skeptical but if jt did zip I would have considered it. Provides nice shape with dress construction.
