Gorgeous and comfy!

Perfect length for petites and easy to wear all night. I am 5'3 and wore the regular length, which worked even changing into sneakers. Could wear a regular bra and just tuck one strap. Such high quality sequins and got a lot of compliments!

Eye-catching and comfortable dress

I loved this dress! The color and cut are unique and it was comfortable enough to dance in all night. I was worried because I am very broad shouldered but it wasn't too tight and felt comfortable. One thing to note - I'm 5'2" and wore 6-inch heels and the dress was still on the floor. Thank goodness I didn't get the regular!

Stunning dress! You absolutely need it!

This dress is everything you ever wanted! It is beautifully tailored to hug your every curve in most delicious way giving a goddess wine. Exposed shoulder and high slit add an air of tasteful sexiness. It is dripping with beads and sequin so it is rather heavy but you won't notice it because it is extremely comfortable and you'd be too full of compliments and everyone's admiration. Being a curvy woman myself, I was weary of such design but I had no problems with support or fear of exposing too much (I danced all night with no accidents). Every single person at the wedding, including people that were working at the venue complimented the dress. The bride herself asked me where to get it. One minor complaint I have, it might irritate your skin under the armpit on the side of no shoulder due to all the beading so take measures for that but otherwise I simply can't emphasize enough how gorgeous this dress is.

Show stopping gown

I wore this to an Adele concert and someone said it was a dress Adele would wear. It is so sparkly and elegant in person. The sleeve is a smidge short, but not too noticeable. It definitely runs small so order up a size. I normally wear a size 18, but I ordered a 20 in this and I still needed double spanx.

Loved this gorgeous gown and received several compliments during our holiday masquerade party! I ordered the 2R since the 4R was not available. It was slightly snug on top but forgiving in the stomach area (not noticeable to others though).

A jaw dropper and head turner - this dress was STUNNING

I wore this for an awards banquet that was black tie. I scrambled last minute to find a dress and rented two sizes larger than I would normally wear. It was a little loose on the top and side but managed to make it work.

So much sparkle!

The dress was heavier than I expected but was not super hot which was ideal for this Roaring Twenties wedding. The zipper is on the side and stuck consistently which is the only reason I didn't rate a dress I didn't have to wear spanks for a five

A show stopper!

I was very skeptical of this dress at first. However, when I slipped this dress on after having my hair and makeup done I felt like a movie star! This was the perfect dress for a night at the New York City opera. The minute I stepped out of the car I received complaints, which continued all night! Don't hesitate...truth it now!

I wore this to MC a beauty pageant. The dress is true to size, I believe. I normally wear an 18 in dresses, but wore a 20W due to availability. It has some stretch to it and I could have sized down, but it worked well for me!

This dress is beautiful, fit me perfectly, though the length was of course a bit short on my 6' frame. No biggie. I rocked a 4" Sam Edelman glittery gold stiletto anyway. Received many compliments all evening and felt like a goddess!

Picture perfect

Wanted a 10L but was not available. 8 fit like a glove but wanted a slightly larger size for modesty. I wore the 14L because the length was perfect. The 14 was a bit baggy but I still received endless compliments and was able to dance all night long!

Elegance, Drama, SPARKLE

I needed a dress for a formal family photo session, and this dress exceeded all of my expectations. It was super comfortable to wear (despite being a fully sequenced gown.) Material is slightly on the heavier side, but our shoot was in Dec in the Midwest, so it worked out great. It's a great balance with the one arm out and the long slit at the bottom to help keep you cool. The only down side is that pictures DO NOT do this dress justice. It's stunning in person and sparkles in every light.

Glamorous gown

I wore this for my social club's Holiday Ball. It was true to size and was just so fun! Didn't need to use hemming tape with my little heels. I normally would not have gone with a long sleeve gown but the one-shoulder style and slit make it sexy yet elegant. And the black/gold color combo can't be beat.

Stunning

This dress is absolutely gorgeous. It is beautifully made and comfortable even though it has sequins. I sadly didn't get to wear it as it was a little too formal for the wedding I am attending but I hope to have a formal event in the future to wear it to. I felt like I was a red carpet star !
