Perfect LBD. Sexy without showing lots of skin. The back side has gathers down the middle which really add to the sexiness. I had planned to wear to an event that I found out is more casual than I thought but I plan to keep this one in my closet for other events--too good to return at this price! :)

I purchased this dress because I like the color and I also have two sleeveless dresses just like it in red and black. These dresses are very flattering. I am 57" and weigt 137. I just love these dresses.

Great dress. Fabric soft and comfortable, which is very important to me. Looks great, too. The shirred effect hides little body imperfections. Looks as good as more expensive dresses. Why spend more?

I wore this dress on New Years' Eve and had a great time - it is skimpy to be sure, but once you get used to the scrunches, it fits very well. The color is great, and the neckline is great for jewelry.

Love this dress! It's very body con! I am wearing to a wedding, my first outing after having a baby. This dress is very stylish and flattering. The ruching hides any imperfections and the cut of the skirt is very nice, tight but not clingy at all. I feel very confident in it.

I just ordered this dress last night and it showed up at my doorstep in the morning. Fell in LOVE with this dress the minute I put it on. I am not a real girlie girl but am trying to venture out and look a little more professional than my normal attire of active wear. Two rules for my closet. Must be easy to wear and functional. this dress is wonderful! I am usually a size 4, 32B chest and I went with a small. So comfy.

I love this dress. The material and design is really forgiving of some lumps and bumps you may want to hide. :) Very pleased with the dress. It is on the expensive side, but I feel it will last for some time and keep the integrity of the material.

This dress is a very nice quality material. My opinion is that it runs slightly small so I sized up to a large.
There is no risk ordering from Zappos. I had quite a few different style dresses sent to me and the return is as easy as the purchase.

Love this dress. Material is soft and very comfortable. Flattering to the figure and I received so many fabulous comments about the fit.

Love it. I think it will fit most shapes very nicely, a lightweight soft fabric...and love the lacy pattern! I ordered two of the sleeveless as well, in red and one in black. I am just waiting for the L/S shirred waist to come back in my size other patterns...love this dress! They need more patterns and more size mediums!

I love this dress! It's form-fitting but still very flattering because of the fabric and the ruching. The length is appropriate for work, but the dress is also sexy. I bought this dress in two colors and also the sleeveless version in two colors. Great dresses!

This is a great dress, well-made and versatile. It fits me, but is just too form-fitting for my style.

Nice dress but very thin material - not forgiving because of the thin material and tight fitting. I usually wear a small or medium, ordered a medium in this and it was way too tight. Order up. Shirring is very flattering, and if you don't have a tummy or want to show your curves, this might work for you.

This has a pretty neckline and the eggplant color is gorgeous. I am 5'6", and the medium fit ok through the body, and the sleeves are comfortably form-fitting. I hoped it would hit just below knee length, but the gathers bring it above my (ugly) knees, so I am sending it back. Too bad, because otherwise it was very pretty.

Bought this to wear to the office holiday party. I wanted a long sleeve LBD - was tired of my old one. Wore it with soft black riding boots. Dress is very comfortable and looks good. Fabric is stretchy and doesn't cling too much - it's quite forgiving and the shirred waist helps. It's a bit longer that what I would have liked, but will try it with dress sandals next time.

This dress is really flattering on, however the sleeves are skin tight and I have small arms. Definitely need to order up a size or two to be comfortable. I'm a 61 year old, 130 # woman and a medium was very tight.

Well made garment and quality material; however, the rushing at the back just didn’t work for me as a curvy woman. This dress must be returned.

This dress is a nice style and if you are looking for a light knit for summer but want long sleeves it works! It’s cut a bit oddly though true to size -- however the torso is to long for me (medium/5'3") so am returning but if you are tall might be just right!

Cute but cheap material and felt large and sloppy. Size smaller wasn’t available.

I’m a size 2 or 4 and the small fit good. Had the dress been lined, I would have kept but I returned it because I needed something a little heavier material since it was for a wedding.

I loved this dress so much when I got it but after 2 wears it is pilling really bad (almost throw away status). I've only dry cleaned it once. Not cool for the price.

This is a very form fitting dress, I loved the way it fits in the waistline and across the hip.. the only draw back is the length... description says it is 43/Inch from waistline and well that is not true, you will need to keep pulling the dress down over your knees to be 43/inch... as you walk it raises up again over your knees. I look for dresses that are 41" and over. I don't like short dresses.

Got this in parched alligator. Nice fit and comfy fabric, great length. Hides small belly nicely head on, but not very forgiving in profile. Still unsure whether will keep it. Maybe the darker colors are more forgiving.

Not too excited about this dress. Thin material and it fit too tight. It's going back!
