Fantastic
This dress is absolutely beautiful. For real world size guide, I am 5’5”, 150 pounds with an athletic build, chest is a 36D, and the XL fits perfectly. My typical top size is medium and my jeans are size 8. Just trying to save some gals from a return/sold out of the dress situation.

Manufacturing defect twice
I tried this on in store and loved the style but they didn't have my size. I ordered one to ship to my house. When it arrived it fit perfectly but the skirt underneath went down to the bottom of the sheer top fabric. That is not how it is supposed to look. I returned it to the store and they ordered me a second dress. That dress arrived the same way. I am returning it. I ordered one direct from the brand and that came correct.

Looks even better on!
Gorgeous special occasion dress that hugs the right spots (chest and waist) and flows where you want! I gave birth 7 months ago and don't feel great in much. My days of slinky dresses or satin and form fitting have been put on hold, but this dress made me feel special from the moment I zipped it up. Perfect for a swanky wedding I will be attending in August. And the color is *chefs kiss* on brunettes!

Pretty Dress
This is a beautiful dress, but it's not for petites. I'm 5'2" and 150 lbs and the Medium was fit, except the length. It went almost to my ankles, and the lace would be too difficult to hem with the scalloped lace edge. Sadly, it's going back.

Stunning in person
I purchased the black and it’s stunning. It has beautiful details on the skirt. Great quality. I’m a size 4 and small in tops and the small fit perfectly. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Special Occasion Dress
Beautiful special occasion dress. Neckline is very low, which made me feel uncomfortable but others felt it was very flattering. Bodice does not have stretch. Fit was perfect. I am a petite but the regular length fit me in bodice and skirt length.
