Fits like a glove!

I loved this dress. It runs very large so size down one, even two sizes. I could have (and should have) worn the 10 but it was unavailable. The fabric has some stretch to it and is super thick (think wetsuit material). You can wear a normal bra with it and had no problems all night. This dress is super flattering to us curvy girls. I've rented the it in red and this navy blue was just as great. Compliments all night and my husband loved it so much, he told me I should buy it in both colors.

So many compliments!

Unfortunately, I didn't get a full picture because I was too busy twirling on the dance floor in this fabulous dress. Like other reviewers have said this dress runs BIG! I'm talking a few sizes down is what you should go for. I could have easily worn the 10, but the zipper wasn't in great shape and the 12 worked fine (if a little more roomy than I wanted). Beautiful vibrant red and the shape of the dress is great for curvy girls. Fitted in the right places (bust and waist with a fun twirly full shirt. The material is very thick...almost wetsuit type fabric, but not overly hot. Paired it with nude heels and a gold clutch. I was able to wear a regular bra with it. Absolutely loved this dress, so much so I'll be renting the navy blue option for another wedding this summer!

Festive sparkles

I wore this to a birthday dinner. The sequins are fun and festive without being over the top for just a dinner out. The underarm area is a bit scratchy, but otherwise a very flattering and comfortable top!

Compliments galore!

This dress was exactly what I wanted for a black tie optional wedding. The sequin pattern is even more pretty in person. The dress ran a little large. I'm a size 14 in J.Crew and the 14 in this dress was a little roomy. The 12 fit great, but the zipper was so sticky that I gave up and wore the 14. Turned out great since it left a little extra breathing room on the dance floor. I received tons of compliments and felt great in the dress. Flattering and comfortable. I also wore it with a regular bra that I made sure to pull down in the back just a touch. Overall, don't hesitate on this dress. It's a knockout!
