ScienceGirl Pretty and As Pictured
I ordered this LE dress and Merrie's LE dress with the intention of keeping my favorite. I preferred Merrie's but this dress is still pretty and I don't quite understand what dress the other reviewer was sent. Perhaps hers was a defect or her monitor is very different than mine? For me, this dress was exactly as shown. The fabric is poly chiffon as listed and the colors (corals and salmons) also as shown. The colors may be slightly more saturated in person, but that is typical. The embelllished bust is again exactly as pictured. I do personally find the bodice overdone and bordering on tacky [for my taste]. That is the one thing that would stop me from buying this dress again in the future. The sequins and jewel work is so perfect, I don't understand why the black tie dye was added. There is already enough going on with the colorblock skirt, hi/lo hem and embellishment. I am 5'5" and measure 38-26-36. I wear a 36C bra. I purchased this dress in an 8 [my default dress size], but would have exchanged for a 6 if I had kept it. The bust measures 38 around without stretching the back panel at all. The bust is padded as mentioned in the details, which is flattering. A strapless bra would be optional, depending on the amount of lift desired. I attached a couple of photos the woman who prescreens my orders for me snapped. [Sorry for her messy storage room! LOL] They are not great, but they show that 'what you see is what you get". If you are reading this Nicole: I would buy this dress in a heartbeat if you could whip one up with solid coral fabric used on the bodice! <3

Rated 1 out of 5Â by regina03 not what the picture implies
I was very disappointed to see that this dress was not what I thought it would be. For $600 it should be as the picture shows it or better. The detailing on the bust is not at all what is shown, and the colors are way off. I am 5'8" and I cannot be taller than the model, and the dress is probably a few inches shorter than I thought it would be. The chiffon is very cheap-looking and the colors are off again. Overall, it looks very cheap for a hefty price.
Very unsatisfied.
