Flattering and comfortable
Great for the pear shaped ladies. I was able to wear it without a bra (yay). The only issue was that the straps were way too long and there was no way to shorten them.

So pretty, but tight through ribs
I loved the color and the fabric was beautiful and airy. Sadly, I couldn’t wear it as I could not get my normal size zipped up around my ribs.

Va va voom!
I felt like a movie star in this dress. It hugged my very pear shaped curves wonderfully. It was definitely more fitted than I usually wear. I loved the colors and the intricate fabric.

Comfy and flattering
Wore this to a welcome party for a company affair in Florida. It was super comfy and flattering for my very pear shape.

Pretty dress, wouldn’t zip around ribs
I’m in between a size 8 and 10. The size 10 was nowhere near zipping over my ribs. It was a shame as the dress was quite pretty. I had planned to wear it to a cocktail party in Florida.

Fall gala
Classy yet fun dress for a fundraiser. The fluttery sleeves were attractive and the skirt had some flutter to it as well but it still fit my pear shape nicely. I normally wear an 8 but it wasn’t available. The 10 fit well and the 6 was too tight.

Fit small, interesting color
Normally wear a size 8 but rented a 12 as that was the only one available. The 8 would have been far too small - the 12 was a little baggy but it worked. The color was a little too much for me - a somewhat jarring shade of purpley pink. The fabric didn’t feel high quality. I did think the details on the dress were unique.

Black tie fall wedding
The dress was perfect for a black tie fall wedding in the cool weather. Subtle sparkles (they are gold even though they look more silver in pictures) with a pretty velvet ribbon at the waist. Just the right amount of “fluff” in the skirt. Nice a line fit for a pear shape.

Gorgeous dress, sizing was off
Loved the color and fabric. Also liked that it could be styled in many ways. I’m typically a size 8 and there was no way I could zip this dress. I was disappointed that it didn’t work for me.

Low and tight in chest
Fabric was thick and stiff. Perhaps a good choice for a cold day. The dress was really low and tight through the chest, and I’m a small chested person. It didn’t work for me.

Didn’t do it for me…
The fabric is really pretty. I didn’t like the collar on the dress. It looked awkward and I couldn’t figure out if I should tie it in front or leave it open. It also went “nightgown” on me. Comfortable, but not the right look for me for a cocktail party.

Didn’t do it for me…
The dress was super tight through the ribs. I have a small chest and still had issues zipping it up. The sleeves were extremely billowy which made it look like I had no shape.

Short, short, short!
I’m only 5 foot 5 and this dress hit me mid thigh without heels. The lining was also a bit longer than the material of the dress which was an odd look.

Stand out at your next event!
Excellent option for those of us with wider hips and smaller tops. The top is quite low. Lightweight and comfortable. I didn’t have to wear uncomfortable shape wear which was a huge plus.

Beautiful floral detail with velvet touches (the straps and sash)
Lots of room for those of us with bigger hips and thighs. I’m smaller on top and it fit through the chest, though it was low cut. The metal boning in the bodice was poking out at the bottom and digging into my sides which was really uncomfortable. I tried going up a size and had the same issue.
