Beautiful dress!
I haven’t worn it out yet, and I got it on a really good sale. But after trying it on as soon as I got it I have to say it’s probably one of my absolute favorite things ever!! It stretches! And it’s thin, because I don’t wanna be hot when I look hot! I think I might need some fashion tape to keep the arms up on my shoulders but that has not been confirmed yet lol I’m a size 3 ( 5 foot 2” if you care) I got the size 24 and it fits absolutely perfectly.

Adjustable strings
I love this dress! It is so flattering and I appreciate on the top area that you can adjust the corset-ish part by tightening the strings. Very flattering look.

I love it so much and it finally they put pockets back in some dresses lol I love how it fits on the front. The cut is so cute honestly such a flattering dress. I got a size 28. I’m typically a four in these dresses and it fit perfect!

Spectacular!
Buy. This. Dress. I am so impressed with the quality of this piece. The fit is outstanding and I love the slight compression under the bust around the ribs - this is a problem area for me, so the secure fit smoothed me out and makes me feel more confident. I love the cut of the waist into the skirt, the corset ribboning on the side add a graceful touch, and the fullness of the shoulders and cut of the neckline are really flattering on a broad-shouldered lady like me. The v of the neck also has a piece inside the fabric to help it keep its shape. Overall, a fantastic dress with a lot of potential. I bought the Retro Chic black crinoline to put underneath it for a little extra flare but looks great without it too. Would love it in another color!

Adorably short dress
I am so happy I bought this dress, it fit great and it is super adorable. I gave it 4 stars because it is very short, so I wore leggings under it and will probably wear shorts under it in the summer. The details and style are beautiful! Would definitely buy it again!

Wear for compliments!
Every time I wear this dress I get compliments. The fit is flattering and shows just the smallest amount of cleavage, and the lace up sides are sexy.
One minor criticism: the skirt part of the dress is made of a different (and in my opinion not as high quality) material than the top part. This causes it to wrinkle easily, but worst of all it attracts animal fur unlike any other article of clothing I've ever owned. If you're a pet owner and toss it in the dryer with other clothes, it attracts the pet hair from everything else that's in the dryer with it. The material is soft enough, though, and it's nothing a lint roller can't fix. This dress would be 6 stars otherwise.

Lovely, but weird waist.
I ordered this a couple weeks ago and I’ve worn it twice. I like it a lot. It’s very cute. It makes my shoulders look perked up without making me look wider. The waist sits a little weird on me. I’m trying to think just how, but I can’t describe it. At first I thought it was too tight, so I re-laced the laces. It still sat oddly. I don’t think it looks that way to others, but I have to keep pulling the waist down a bit. Still, I’d buy it again because I’m a slave to fashion.

Cute but not perfect
Overall I do quite like this dress. The fabric is structured but with a bit of stretch so it it quite forgiving while still smoothing out lumps and bumps. I agree with a previous reviewer that said the zipper is useless. I didn’t even realize this dress was zippered until I read that review, but it does have one of those annoying under the armpit side zippers. I find those difficult to do up at the best of times, but coupled with the extra thickness of the side ties the zipper barely works before you’ve even put the dress on let alone the contortions you’ll need to pull to get it zipped up once on. Thanks to the stretch of the fabric I’m able to get the dress on without needing the zipper but YMMV. I feel it is true to size; I ordered a 00 which is my usual and it feels fine and I got it over my 38DD without using the zipper, but you may want to size up if you’re between sizes. The bonus is the side lacing is functional so you can cinch it in once it’s on if needed.

Size up or pass on this
I’m a 40D and this was way too tight in the bust. I could not get that side zipper up at all. It also arrives super duper wrinkled. If I was keeping it, it would be pretty difficult to steam out.
