I wore this dress to a wedding in the Caribbean, it packed very well and the few wrinkles steamed easily. I was mildly disappointed in the quality of the hem stitching, it was a bit uneven with some loose threads and caught on the flower detail of my shoe. The dress is fully lined and very stretchy, with a forgiving fit. However the darker color is only on the exterior so I wouldn’t recommend sizing down too much to avoid visible stretching. Also requires minimal/seamless undergarments. The top doesn’t appear to be understitched. I’d practice trying it on and where your head goes in the crisscross before doing any makeup 😂.

I ordered my usual size xs per the size chart (31” bust 25” waist 37” hip, 115lbs, 5’6” but wore the dress with 3” heel ~5’9” and there would absolutely be room for a larger bust than mine)

F | 115 lbs | Slender-Athletic | Med-Dark Skin with Neutral - Warm leaning undertone

I bought this dress for my friends wedding in June who has a long, floor length dress code. Seamless and pasties are the key words here. The fabric of this dress was unexpected but I am actually okay with it because it gives me versatility on where I can wear this. I also feel like the fabric will work in hot weather but may show some water spots if you are a sweater in certain areas so I will see what I can do. The ombre is gorgeous and vibrant. It even looks great in warm or cool lighting (tested with my ring light). I was looking for a dress that was modest and flattering for my body shape (inverted triangle - leaning hourglass) to wear. This dress checked off those boxes. I will say to be thoughtful because this dress will highlight everything (bloating, rolls, love handles, etc.) if you don't have the proper shape wear. All in all, I am happy with my purchase!
