Perfect for hourglass figures
I have pretty big hips, but this dress made me look hourglass instead of just bottom heavy. The material is think enough that it doesn't show every bump (although I still wore Spanx), and is generally very flattering. I loved the color and it made me stand out from the typical black dresses at the black tie wedding. It was very long, so I used temporary hem tape to hem it about 2-3" on the bottom, which allowed me to wear it with 3" heels.

Lovely dress
This dress was very pretty and fit well. For ladies with larger bottoms than tops, this works perfectly. The boning made it stay up without pulling at it, but this dress must have been well worn because the bottom of one bone was sticking out and kinda sharp if you moved wrong. The lining of the dress didn't breathe super well, so if you tend to run hot, might be a consideration. This was my backup dress, so I didn't end up wearing it, but I came close since I thought it was very flattering. The fabric and gold sparkle was pretty. Length wasn't too long for me with moderate heels.

Nice fabric, awkward fit
This dress is a great concept with a pretty lace pattern and plunging neckline. The dress seemed well made. I have large hips, which made this dress fit badly. I am normally an 8, and in that size, the hips fit (slightly tight, but fine), while the top was huge. There was no way I could wear it with the sizing as there was no stretch and a smaller size would not have fit my hips. If you are straighter, or perhaps have much larger boobs (I'm a B/C), it would work better.

Odd fit
This was tight in my hips and huge in the bust/straps. I am usually bigger on the bottom than top because of my wide hips, but this dress seemed way out of proportion. The cups at the bust were gaping even though I am a 36B/C. Some people said they pinned the straps, but I didn't see that helping enough to make this dress look good.

Good for curves
This hugs curves very nicely, and did really good things for my chest--perfect cleaveage, but may have been too much for people who are more endowed! Despite some reviews saying that it shows every bump/line, I didn't really find that to be the case, but it was slightly tighter in the hips and if I were doing it again, might size up. Unfortunately, it was pretty long, so I would have had to wear very high heels to make it work (which due to a knee injury I can't wear at the moment).

Fun dress!
This dress is fun for a fancy event. I loved the pockets and it was very comfortable all night. The only sad part was that someone else came to the wedding I was at with the SAME dress. Oh well. She looked good in it too. I am usually a size 8 in dresses these days, mostly because of my large hips. The size 8 was large in my chest, so I sized down to the 6, which still had plenty of room for hips. Even with the 6, it could have been a bit tighter in the chest. I decided to use a black strapless deep v bra to help with that. You could see the bra through the lace in the back, but I thought it was fine.

Loved this dress. It was super comfortable and looked great. I wish I could have kept it!
It hugged curves nicely, but didn't feel or look like you were being squeezed in because of the material.
