Gorgeous dress but do yourself a favor and size up! It. Runs really small. The fabric is nice and it is very flattering once you get the correct size. The color is vibrant.

I returned this dress. There are a deceiving number of seams all over the top, which make the dress seem cobbled together. Also, very long - I'm 5'5 and it hit me well below the knees.

I am 5'3, 125 lbs...i ordered dress in a 6 which I am normally a 4 and at the best a 6, however, due to the dress being rather small in the top (I'm a 36c-d), I have to return for an 8. It's really long .. about 4 inches past my knee) so it will require shortening. The fabric is nice, as is the style, it's VERY slimming.. but it isn't what I would consider a $350 dress. Bought for my grandson's christening, it will be nice...not too grandmotherly, yet still conservative.. since I'm not that old... :-) Cobalt blue is a beautiful color

After reading in the Wall Street Journal about how celebrities are crazy for this dress, I was really excited to find this in red, in my size, for a great price at my Nordstrom Rack. For full price, I would NOT buy this dress. I'm 32 years old and my SO's comment on this dress was "It's a bit more mature than what you usually go for"--I'm not sure if that's good or not! I am 5'9", 125 lbs, and more hip-y than busty. I got this in a size 2. The length is just right. The fit is perfect in the waist, but I have to wear an "add a cup size" padded bra to fill the top out, and I have to wear Spanx to make the bottom fit. The fabric is good quality and of a nice substantial weight. I'm not sure how crazy I am about the asymmetrical neckline; it makes selecting an appropriate necklace rather challenging. The extra volume at the top also creates a challenge if you want to wear this with a blazer or cardigan. I would love to see the bottom half of this dress paired with a slightly more fitted, symmetrical, long-sleeved top half. As it is, I don't think I'll get much use out of this and may eventually be taking it to the upscale consignment shop.
