I had to get the dress tailored to fit in the bust and I NEVER have to do this with any other brand. For off the rack, the fit was not good.

I would wear this on a special occasion. Especially around Christmas time becasue of it glitzy, sparkle look it has. It is a very confortable fit. It gives shape defining defintion. I don't like the side zipper,because it is hard to zip up by yourself, but it does give the back a smoother appearance by being on the side.

I was really looking forward to wearing this dress on a trip to Vegas but; unfortunately, the color was not what I expected. I hoped it would be a metallic gold but it was an olive gold--definitely not my color. Too bad--the price was perfect!

I purchased this dress to wear to a wedding. I checked the sizing chart for correct sizing. Despite the sizing chart, if you have any kind of chest at all, the girls will not be safe in this dress. In fact, the top seemed inadequate even for small-chested women.

I have been losing weight (yay!) and so this was a little large in the size I bought. The color was a little greenish gold, and not what I hoped, so had to return it. It was a pretty dress, though, and would definitely work for special occasions.

The dress was pretty and wrinkle resistant. It was also sexy and right to wear for a special occasion. However, it was too tight across the bust for me. I would not encourage women with a lot of cleavage to purchase the dress.

I"m the mother of the groom and needed something for the reception. I kept coming back to this one. Unfortunatly when I rec'd it, I tried it on, the bust ran too small, the bodice gapes open and the zipper wouldn't zip at the top,(it kept getting caught on the stitches and the seam),but I love the look of this dress, so I'm returning and ordering another one. If its meant to be, it will be. :)

I needed the dress for a ball that i was attending although i didn't make it to the ball, it's a very versatile dress that i can use for any occassion that requires a cocktail dress. i wanted the gold but settled for the black, was afraid of trying to find some matching shoes for the gold. But the black is a nice addition to my little black dress collection. Can't wait to wear it.
