flattering fit, perfect material, love it!
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2015
I LOVE how this dress flatters my figure. I was really nervous about how it would fit, but it is great. Stretchy fabric, breathable, but thick enough not to be see through, although I still need to check in daylight if it needs a skip, it's fine indoors though.I'm 5'3" 115 pounds and I ordered a US6. I think I could have gotten away with a size 4 as well, but the 6 is great. It's much more flattering than my picture gives it credit. I'll be wearing this on our upcoming Caribbean cruise. The material a style can easily be causal or dressy depending on the accessories you add. You will not be disappointed in this dress.
Amazing dress for the price!

This dress is a great deal. The shape and quality far exceed what you would expect at this price point. The ruching along the arms is a little odd but not really in a bad way. It's a bit low cut if you're busty, but a tank top or something similar underneath would easily make this work appropriate. I'm 5'9 and the length is just at my knees. Perfect for something you can toss in suitcase or overnight bag to be prepared for almost any occasion without needing an iron. It's simple enough to wear with flats for daytime but can easily be dressed up with heels for going out, meetings, date night, and so on. I'm seriously considering getting it in a few more colors just to have on hand.Apologies for the bathroom selfie -- it's mostly just to show that I'm a bigger girl and this was still incredibly flattering!
would definitely recommend :))

I love this dress, fits beautifully and is very flattering to curvy figure, used a couple baby pins at the top just for precaution ;) it is long but I'm only 5 foot so that's probably just me

Fits and hangs nicely. Dress looks superb! Wore it to a dinner party the day I received it. I had a lot of compliments. It looks elegant and you cannot help feel beautiful wearing this dress.
Fixed our wedding catastrophe, looked great and very comforable.

This dress just saved us from a wedding catastrophe! Our seamstress did not finish the bridesmaids dresses in time for the wedding!!!(INSANITY! I know)So 4 days before the wedding I hesitantly ordered a bunch of these (so the girls could choose the best size for them since there was no time for alterations.) They were flattering and so comfortable the bridesmaids were able to wear them all day with no complaints and dance like crazy all night. The material is very stretchy and hangs beautifully. We weren't crazy about gathers on the sleeves, but everyone looked so great, we forgot all about it and had a great time. Also ordered matching ties for the groomsmen since this was not the original apple red that we had planned on...and changed the color of the rose order;)After the wedding I gathered the dresses that hadn't been worn, printed a free return label and sent them back to Amazon. EASIEST DRESS CATASTROPHE FIX EVER! ...and for under $100 all 3 bridesmaids looked amazing and have a cute dress they can wear anytime they want to dress up for a date.Disclaimer: I have seen this dress in blue and it was not nearly as appealing. It looked shiny and very tacky, so be careful about color choices.Still somehow this brick red was elegant enough for a wedding:)Wish I had the professional pics to attach, but here's a snapshot that doesn't do it justice.
Ruching Goes Into the Bustline for Larger Cup Sizes
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2017
This review is currently aimed mostly at the big busted ladies. I bought this dress for church, and overall, I think it is a very flattering cut and color. However, if you have a bosom over a certain size, the ruching may go part of the way up the underside of your breasts, which can detract some from the visual affect and appeal of the bodice in particular. It would not be fair for me to level this criticism without giving you a number to compare to when determining if this is a problem that might apply to you or not, so I will own up to being a 34DDD. I happen to be blessed or cursed, depending on your outlook, to store my body fat in what I call the 3B's. Boobs, Belly, and Butt.That middle one is the real bummer of the three from my perspective (hence the curse part), but the first one can also make it hard to fit into certain styles well. It's one of the reasons I wear a lot of wraps and bodycon dresses. And while the ruching only gets pulled up about an inch, an inch and a half into the bustline (I have attached a picture from the side view so you can see what I'm talking about), from some angles it's noticeable, and can make the dress seem too small, when in fact, it's just right everywhere else. So if I'd ordered a size up, it would be hanging like a sack everywhere else, including the shoulders. So do I think this is a cute dress? You know, yes. But it's just something for you to be aware of so that if this would bother you, you may want to go with something else.

Great dress. I am 5'5 158lbs with athletic built. Usually have a hard time finding clothes that look good and are comfortable. My waist is 31 inches, bust is 37 and hips are 41. This dress is comfy and not see-through. Great for the office. Got several compliments.

Ordered size 16 think I could have gone down to 14 I'm that awkward either size at the moment. The dress is much more 'dressier' than I thought bought for work but too good for that so be keeping for nights out instead. I'm 5 10 and it comes down to my knees which is really unusual to find for me. It's a slinky fabric with a satin sheen and comfortable to wear

Lovely comfortable dress, purchased for my brother-in-laws wedding. Well made and beautiful in the royal blue colour. I'm a pear shape and this dress balanced my shape perfectly. My 7 year old commented that it made me look skinny so I was definitely sold on it then. My only niggle is when worn with tights it does cling to your legs with static, I'm hoping this can be sorted with a cotton underskirt when I wear it next week to our annual dinner dance.

I really liked the colour and style however the sizing was really off - I ordered a size 14 uk and this would have been perfect on a lady that was 5ft 8 and a size 16 or bigger - at 5ft 5 it was at an awkward length between my knee and ankle and made me look really short and there was an excess of material in the skirt. I will try to get a smaller size as it really was a fab dress, but doubt I'll get it now before Christmas, which is disappointing as I hoped to wear it coming up to christmas. Very stretchy material so I could have easily gotten away with at least two sizes smaller.

Material is very fine and looks like it may catch very easily and also be difficult to care for(i.e. iron). Fit was slightly on the larger size 12-14.Neck line crossover was lower than expected and would have needed to put a stitch in fabric to prevent gapping. Sleeves were ruched on top and bottom. Style quite pretty as an inexpensive bridesmade dress for a one time wear.

Great to wear on a weekday (because it is so comfortable too), but can be dressed up easily for events - just add a fancy belt and a petticoat and it looks super fancy. I am loosing weight at the moment, and this dress fits me going up or down a size (Almost two!), and still looks good for a long while because of the stretch.For this price I don't expect them to last forever - but they do look nice for a long while. After a year of use several times a week (which must be about 600 washes in the washing machine - but on a gentle setting!) the fabric looks less nice than in the beginning. I still wear the "used" dresses, but I will replace them soon.

I am very thrilled with the dress. Other than the fact that the neckline is rather low and I had to put a stitch in the cross over to close it up slightly, It fits very well and looks good. Thank you so much!

I bought this for a Christmas party and got several admiring comments. Really fits well and has just enough weight to make it swing beautifully. Just enough décolletage revealed for it to make it very sexy and suits my fuller bust. The light grey colour is lovely and will be buying others in different colours.

I love ever pretty dresses they are beautiful and shaped well, the only downside with this particular dress was as a larger boosomed lady it didnât hold in very well at the top maybe an extra bit along that part would be better?

The dress is a lovely fit and very flattering. What let it down is the over gathered sleeves, it's like something from the 80'/90's :( its such a shame because to me, it ruined the dress.The colour is beautiful (grey) and the way it fits the body is perfect!! If you like ruffled sleeves, go for it :)
