Blair Embellished Fit & Flare Cocktail Dress

In person it looks cheap and didn't hold up to what you see in the pic. The material felt uncomfortable & scratchy. Oddly cut in the chest and around the underarms. Returning.

This dress is gorgeous, I rented it three times for various events before biting the bullet and buying it for myself. It can be quite form-fitting so the general rule is to try your own size and one size up then decide. I have had to wear it in a larger size at different times in my life. The color and fit are stunning It is quite timeless and always gets a ton of compliments. I pair with a caramel patent leather peep toe shoe and light caramel pashmina. No need to wear a bra and found that the material had enough give that I could skip the Spanx as well. I tried this in a few different colors but decided to go with the blue, in the end, it was the most memorable. The zipper can be a little bit tricky at times so go slowly or enlist the help of another.

This dress was okay in general. It looks a tiny bit cheap for the price (there is a lot of nude material showing through the sequins....the nude material seems cheap). I'm 5'9", 185lb, size 12 in almost all clothes (including Tadashi Shoji and the David's Bridal gown I ended up getting), and 38DDD. I ordered a size 14 based on reviews (to buy myself extra space across the chest). This just barely zipped across my chest. I may have been able to pull it off if I didn't wear a bra...but a.) No one with my size chest should go without a bra and b.) It was uncomfortably tight. I had to return it.

This dress is very cute. I have a feeling that some of the reviews that say it runs small are older and that now they have adjusted their sizing, because the usual size I wear (XS) fit fine. The one issue I have is that the "nude" lining may be too close to my skin tone and might have people doing a double-take and thinking the dress is actually see-through. For something like New Year's it might be fine, but I wanted it for a wedding, which makes that reaction less appropriate! I'm still not sure if I'll keep it, but fit is great!

Gorgeous dress. It was perfect for my civil wedding. Great fabric!

I loved this dress. It fits well and was flattering. True to size.

I tried on the Green in store, wow it is ansolutely stunning I felt like I was going to the oscars lol....however....if you have a curvy figure like me, beware, I'm a34DD usually a 4, and wear 27 bottoms, and the XS actually fit great around the hips, the stretchy slip underneath fit just right....however..forget about zipping the back -it's a combination of the boobs not fitting and too much meat on my back ahem. I tried the Small too and guess what, still no luck zipping the back but I immediately felt the waist and skirt feel fuller and the slip looser which I didn't like. The XS was much more flattering in the bottom. So really this dress is perfect for A /B cups who have very slim upper torso (atleast for a XS/S) I did not try a medium...Fit is very particular but giving 4stars bc there is no denying it is a gorgeous dress...and the gold version too WOW....

Loved this dress. Comfortable and slimming. You can tell it was made well. The occasion I bought this dress for was cancelled and I was SO temped to keep the dress anyway. I am 5’7 and 140lbs. I got a medium and it fit perfectly.

not very appealing, especially for a thicker sized woman - the nude sheath in general is too short compared to the length of the sheer dress overlay - add in the fact that it rode up higher on my legs because of the rear needing more coverage - not very flattering at all unless your thin in general with gorgeous legs to show off since they are the focus - it didn’t look this way at all in any of the website photos which was surprising - I also felt the overlay was too crunchy and the sequined patches started to get caught on the fabric when either sitting down and even taking it off and laying it on the bed. I was concerned there would be pulls/tears in the fabric before I returned for credit since the sequin patches were quite large. As far as fit it is true to size and honestly with a spanx you could go another size down if you’re in between sizes.

I tried on this dress in the store with the black embellishment, it fit so beautifully yet I truly wanted more of the silver color in my size. The ladies at Nordstrom helped me find it to order online and ship to me. It arrived promptly and I can't believe what a beautiful dress it is. I wanted it for my rehearsal dinner for my wedding, I can't wait to wear it! I feel it will be hard to discern if my rehearsal dress will take more attention then the wedding dress itself, it is truly remarkable.

Party perfect for an elegant affair. I bought this simply delightful dress for swanky soiree in Los Angeles being held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. The dress code on the invitation said, "Elegant." Since the Oscars are held every year at the Dolby Theatre, it kind of set the fashion bar high but not too high. I paired this dress with a Badgley Mischka feather shrug in black and black velvet ankle strap 2.5 inch high heel. I did my hair in "Dutch Crown Braid" and added flowers for a very Dolce and Gabana look. The dress was too tight in the back as a medium so I returned it for a large. It was perfect. It's a dress of beauty and elegance. I am happy with the purchase. The only downside was the anticipation over the dress size. There doesn't seem to be enough pretty elegant dresses at a price point my pocket book can afford right now. So, I am glad there is this one.

I love the material and pattern of this dress. However, there is something off about this brand’s sizing. I’m 5’6”, 130 lbs., 32ddd and I’ve always been a small or 2/4 in any other brand. I tried on a small in this dress and my chest was squashed, but it fit everywhere else. I ordered the medium and, while it fit my chest, it looks a little big everywhere else. I love the pattern and style so much that I still think I’m keeping it. However, you may want to consider another brand if you have a large bust. I tried on other Dress the Population dresses to see if it was a fluke, but this seems to be a problem for me in all of their dresses.
