Buy the dress

This dress is perfect, flattering and a thicker jersey so it is not sheer. I repeat - IT IS NOT SEE THROUGH. And did I mention flattering? Because it's flattering, beyond flattering. So. Dang. Flattering. You might ask, "can one be in love with a dress?" and the answer is a resounding YES. YES YOU CAN. I AM PROOF. I am 5'7", 34DDD, 29" waist, 41" hip and ordered a Large. True to size. Amazing. AH-MAZ-ING. I ordered the Pinot and now will order at least 2 more colors - black and olive. Or grey? OR ALL OF THEM. It is so versatile. I might faint from excitement. BUY. THE. DRESS.

No thanks!

This dress is cute but way too tight for me. It fit - but just too "body con". I have other Michael Stars dresses that are body con but this one was a miss. I returned it. I would say it fits TTS but is styled to really hug like a sausage casing. The ruching doesn't help.

Great Dress

This dress is a great weight, can be dressed up or down and has the perfect amount of stretch. I liked the length and it can be longer or shorter by scrunching the stomach area up and down a bit. I'm 5'6" 125 lbs and ordered the XS, it's a perfect fit. I ordered black, olive green and burgundy and only kept the black. The olive green and burgundy are much more washed out in person than the color indicates online. I'd like to see this in brighter colors - blue and a Kelly green or evergreen.

Great Staple LBD

This is a great staple black dress for Fall/Winter. I bought this based on a blogger review and I'm glad that I did. It's Michael Stars, therefore its their typical jersey cotton material. It has a lot of stretch and is form fitting. I am usually a solid 8, but I ordered a large in this dress. I probably could be fine in a medium, as I love the fit. It stretched out slightly after a few wears, but reshaped nicely after washing. It's not going to be a crazy high end quality dress, but it's versatile and can be dressed up or down. Happy with my purchase!

Love but a bit see through

Love this dress! I’m 5’ 9” 135 28 years old and fairly athletic although i have had 2 kids. I ordered a size small and it fits tight but that’s how i wanted it to fit. The rouching adds just enough to camouflage anything a little extra. I was a little bummed that it is a bit see through.
