Wanted a cocktail dress that would pack without wrinkling. Material was not quality enough for use as a cocktail dress. Would be good for casual and material would not wrinkle easily. Did not like color very blah.

I took the advice of other reviewers and ordered to the smaller size. The size MP is supposed to be a 8/10, but it fits like a 10/12. It fits me perfectly, I'm a little hippy, and only 5'1". The wave color is beautiful, a little brighter than it looks online and the trim on the front is silver. Looks great with silver jewelry. Nice fabric and the lining makes it smooth. I plan to wear it to a wedding, it would be great to dinner.

I ordered four of these dresses to be worn in my wedding by my bridesmaids. Their ages range from 8 to 21. These worked out great and I wish I had purchased an extra dress myself to wear to church or work.

Feels too long

Shows every bulge

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Works great on the pencil thin model with absolutely NO bulges at all. Appears to flow away from body but it doesn't. Feels great on your skin but doesn't look great at all......IF you have any weight to you.

For the tall and thin, it flatters in every way.

I've already written one review but decided a second was due because after trying the dress on for a second time I must agree with previous reviewers that the dres is one size too big. Mine is a PS but seems more like a PM or even regular Medium. However, I like the dress so much that I will have it tailored to fit.

This dress is a "petite" which I normally wear. For some reason this petite was very big on me. Way too much fabric all the way around. I have already returned this product.

I ordered this dress one size up to ensure it wouldn't be too small and this proved to be a good idea. The waist could be a tad bit smaller, but that is an easy fix (or not -- since it looks great the way it is). The material is great and the look very flattering.
