Flattering and comfortable

The pictures don’t do this dress Justice. Much nicer in person. Although it has some shape and is flattering the material is forgiving. It can be dressed up or down

Returned this dress

Did not like it. Flimsy, no structure, thin, just not to my liking.

Pretty but not for large chests

I ordered this in the yellow and black. Pros: nice fabric; lightweight; can be dressed up or down; the bodice and skirt seem to be cut on the bias to truly drape around the hips and tummy, which creates a beautiful silhouette; possible to wear a normal bra (depending on chest size) Cons: not for larger chests--the fabric has no stretch and there is no darting in the chest, so it will flatten your bust if you're wider in that area, and sizing up more than one size makes the bottom huge; the yellow color is gorgeous but almost completely sheer, and even nude undergarments are visible, so it would probably require a full slip (or more confidence than I have) Wanted to love but will be returning. I'm usually a 12/14. The 14 fit everywhere but the chest. Sized up to 16, loose in the skirt and still too tight in the chest.

Not for big chest

I really loved the fit and the material of this dress but this dress is not for women with a large chest. I ordered a size 12 and I am a double D.

So flattering!

Fits so nice all around! I’m a D cup and it fits nicely over my chest, doesn’t squish them at all. Hugs the waist and hips so beautifully. Just a truly flattering dress!

not as pictured

The chest is tight and the hips are large. The fit is very strange and awkward. Going back
