SD1023 Christmas Dress

It was.... ok.I bought this for a friend's work Christmas party. I'm in my early 30s, 5'10, 135 lbs. (Really tall and slender but with some curves). I was looking for something subtly sexy but still very classy. This unfortunately was not it.Cons:- The small fit a bit looser and longer than I wanted.-The lace, instead of being sexy, just made me look older.Pros:-The green was gorgeous. Beautiful color dress that would work well with a range of complexions.- The small fit well in the chest (34DD).I actually saw someone (a few years older, shorter, slender build, lighter complexion) at the party in the same exact dress and it looked really lovely on her. Just not the best for my body type. I could have "made it work" but it was not a showstopper for me.

I ordered this at the last minute to wear to an evening wedding. Despite the positive reviews, I assumed I would probably end up returning it and making that dreaded trip to the mall to dress shop. Even shopping in person it's difficult for me to find something that fits well, is tasteful, and doesn't need a lot of alterations or make my body look like a stuffed sausage! The dress exceeded my expectations, particularly for the price point. I ordered the XL based on other reviews and size charts, and it fit beautifully (5'4" 185 lb, 38DD, usually size 14, sometimes a 16, and carry weight in midsection). And it was SO comfortable, not hot or itchy as lace can sometimes be, especially in summer heat! I did wear shaping garment underneath to smooth my tummy but honestly it was flattering enough that I probably could have worn it without. I got so many compliments, and was asked if I purchased the dress at Nordstrom, but I didn't spill my secret! I've rarely had a dress make me feel so pretty, as I do tend to be insecure about my weight. I think this is the type of dress that flatters many body types, but especially if yours is similar to mine, just do yourself a favor and give this dress a try!

First, the plum color is much lighter in person which is a major disappointment. I would have returned it but this was a last min replacement dress for a rental that didn’t fit. The “M” fits closer to a US women’s size 8. I’m a 34DD and the top fits snug in the bust and perfect in the hips. I’m going to try getting the dress taken in in the waist for future wears. If you have smaller hips or bust definitely size down.

Bought and wore to a wedding. I received many compliments and felt great in it. It does have quite a bit of stretch which made it nice for dancing in and sitting as it felt like it moved with me instead of riding up as I bent. The collar of mine did not come up on my neck, but was not wide or boat neck style either. Just slightly bigger than a t-shirt collar would be. I got a small, am 5’2” and am slightly pear shaped at 115 pounds. It could have been a bit more fitted, but was not so loose that it looked too big.-Makindra

Beautiful, good quality dress. I am 5’9”, 175 lbs and wear a size 10/12 in jeans and dresses depending on the brand. 36D cup. I ordered an XL and it fit perfect! I was scared it’d be too short but it hit a few inches above my knee. The built in slip is a tad bit shorter but the lace details are gorgeous. I wore to a cocktail party and got a lot of compliments.
