This is a gorgeous dress. It features a subtle, lovely color, the fabric is a bit heavier than I wanted but it is still nice. It shows off my figure while a bit of Spandex fixes slight bulges - it looks great on. I just need to hem in 2" for my 5' 5" height to get my preferred just below knee length.
I'd also recommend:
Leota - perfect for travel - pretty and sexy.

I don't think I've ever looked skinnier in a dress in my life. It's so flattering! Love.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
I really loved this dress and the "look " of it. I ordered XS, I am 5'4" and 130 Lbs. Fit true to size. When received, it was wrinkled nad my steam iron didn't get wrinkles out, so I took it to my dry cleaners for them to press it. That worked fine. While I loved it, the plungin V neck was just too revealing and I couldn't move, lift arms up or bend down at all--just too revealing. So I am retuning it.

Very nice dress. Looks good on a curvy figure and is very comfortable. I give it four stars because it is a little difficult to steam or iron and it does wrinkle a bit. I am 5'5" and 160lbs so I bought the XL and it fit perfectly. The material has a lot of stretch. Its a little low cut in the bust, but a tank top or bandeau works great underneath. I do love it and will probably buy it in black too.

This was a horrible dress. I can only describe it as one of those nightmare dresses you buy from the foreign website that looks nothing like the picture. I was happy to return it.

The style of this dress is really cute. I'm a size 10, a little bit chubbier stomach and a big chest. I ordered a size 8 and it fits perfect, a little snug in the waist but it looks pretty good. The fabric is thinner than I thought it would be. I'm keeping it! its wrinkled, but I think if I hung it in a hot shower, the steam would relax the wrinkles.

I love this dress. I wore it to a rustic outdoor wedding with a great pair of Freebird tall boots and received many compliments. I ordered a Med and an XL as a large was not available. The medium fit great and I used a heirloom broach to fasten the plunging neck line. The fabric is very comfortable and follows your every move. I think this would flatter any figure with curves. I am 5'4" 145 and I looked fantastic in it.

Really cute dress, it was sold out in my size but I ordered the larger one in hopes that it ran small, which it does not. The material is heavy and stretchy so a smaller size is actually a better idea. Very flattering!

This dress is beautiful, but the top fit much larger than the rest. It felt true to size everywhere but in the bust - and I'm a DD so I usually don't have a problem in this area.

Love the style of this dress! Very cute and figure-flattering! Unfortunately the top was a bit too revealing for the occasion. Also, the fabric wasn't completely opaque so even with nude bra/underwear you could still sort of see through the dress. It's also worth noting it is a BRIGHT true white, not ivory, so if you have pale skin it might not be the most flattering color. Did fit true to size.

I am a size 10 and ordered this dress in an XL (I tend to be larger on top - broad shoulders and bigger arms). I'm also rather tall and this hits just at the top of the knees. This dress is amazing. Fit great everywhere, felt good putting it on, and I can't wait to wear it for my event.

Wow this dress looks amazing and is comfortable to wear. I loved the 3/4 sleeves, the slender-izing waist and the forgiving skirt that hides a size 12 belly. The material is thick enough to cover and has some stretch. This dress would make anyone look great.

This dress is beautiful. I ordered the black and it is a classic. I'm a size 12 but 10 in dresses. I ordered the XL and it fits perfectly. It's stretchy and forgiving. I did have to pin the top because it was very low cut for a D cup. Ironing is definitely a problem. I melted a tiny corner of the dress. I ended up placing a towel on the dress and using the steam setting on the iron. It didn't seem to ruin the fabric but I'm not an expert on how it would effect it long term.

Well, this dress is white on top and navy on the bottom but otherwise very different. The bodice has a scoop, semi-cowled off the shoulder neckline with a button on it. Really truly 1950s. Plus it was too small.

Cute, flattering, the fabric has some stretch. The bodice seemed snug at first, but then, not noticeably so. The hem/skirt is a perfect circle (- when twirling).

I loved this dress. The green is gorgeous! The fabric is stretchy and super comfortable. I'm a DD so I had quite a bit of cleavage. You could definitely wear a tank top under it to be more modest. I would buy the other colors.

Beautiful dress! I bought and wore this in green for a Christmas party. It had a plunging neckline but I just wore a lace camisole underneath and it was perfect. Comfortable and draped beautifully.

Great dress for curvy figures. Dress ran slightly large, I ended up sizing down. Like others say, it's pretty cleavage baring, but I think a discrete safety pin would work (rather than having to wear a cami). Black is obviously slimming. I tried the mint dress as well, but it didn't look great with my pale skin.

As many reviews noted the fabric this dress is made of if "fantabulous". Wish I could get it in a petite. I'm 5'4" 140lbs. I wear a regular as my legs are longer and although I'm not really short waisted, this dress seams to be designed for a taller, more elongated body. The medium didn't fit in the chest and the large (8) is too long from waist to chest. I'm a 36C and would have needed a 36EE at least to fill the v-line front. All you beauties out there, again, the fabric is undeniably comfortable.

I agree with 'wow' and 'perfect dress'. I received many compliments. The dress is rather heavy, which makes the skirt hang properly, but it's not hot. It's a little bit stretchy but feels almost like poplin. Great fabric. To be safe I ironed it inside out with cool iron, steam, and an ironing cloth. I wore it outside to a funeral (mostly in the shade) on an 80+ degree, somewhat humid day, and didn't sweat - and I don't do well in the heat. Might be because the neckline is low, plus the skirt lets lots of air cool the legs. I'm between an A and B cup and the area between my breasts was barely covered. If you have cleavage and want to show it, this dress would do that in a nice way. I was afraid it might look costume-y -- not at all. A petticoat would be more look than I would want. I'm 5'6, average proportions (def. not long legged), 145 lbs, 28" or 29" waist and the medium is pleasantly snug. The dress just covers my knees. Because it's full it doesn't make the calves look big. The buttons work and the side (!) zipper laid perfectly flat. I used double-faced tape to hold the inside of the collar in place and may tack it down at some point. Ideally it would have a rolled hem but how much would that cost?? As it is the slight folds aren't noticeable due to the fullness of the skirt -- which is also what causes them. Love this dress and will wear it whenever I have an opportunity. Amazing value.

It was super cute but if you don't have a big chest, you aren't going to fill it out. I tried to size down but it was too tight.

Beautiful, classy, high quality dress. Wish it would have worked for e but sending back. I am 5'4", 135 pounds, a 34B chest with narrow shoulders and ordered the small. The skirt hit at my knee and was very flattering. The waist was a bit snug. The chest and nape of neck were WAY too big. Too much altering needed to make this dress work for my body.
