I don’t usually gravitate toward form-fitting styles, so I was pleasantly surprised that, out of several dresses I ordered to try, this was the one I chose. I’m typically a bit self-conscious about my hips (I’m smaller on top and curvier on the bottom), but the straight neckline and fitted waist/hip area ended up being really flattering on my shape. That said, I do have a few critiques: 1) It takes some maneuvering (as the title suggests) to get everything sitting right. The zipper is inconveniently placed under the left armpit, which can create some odd bulging unless you adjust the bodice just so. The sleeves were also quite snug on my upper arms, so I had to twist them around a bit to get the shoulders to sit properly. Once everything was in place, though, the drape of the dress looked really elegant imo 2) The tag is in the WORST POSSIBLE SPOT. I love the way the back of the dress is open, but the tag is stitched right in the center and fully visible. If you owned the dress you could just cut it out, but as a rental it’s a bit unfortunate. (I guess it’s great brand visibility, though?) 2) The button that fastens the back strap across the shoulders is pretty flimsy. I ended up using a safety pin, which worked fine and stayed put, but it was definitely a little annoying. Overall, it’s an elegant dress and very flattering so I’d recommend it if you don’t mind putting in a little extra effort to get everything just right.

It was perfect for a Hollywood glam work event.

Super tight on the arms which made for a weird fit

I really liked the style of this dress but they only offered large as the biggest size. I ordered the large and it was still too small.

Sooo stunning but definitely a little weird because arms are so tight . Looks a little different than the photo.

Really pretty dress but the back strap came undone a good bit

Flummoxed by this dress. Not sure if I had the wrong size or I needed a petite but I could not get it to lay right. Adored the idea; so sad to send it back unworn.

awkward neckline, strap in the back needs better straps
