Wore this dress to a September evening formal wedding. Part of the event was outdoors, and I was happy the dress was substantial and kept me warm as it got cooler. The liner straps were a bit too long, so I had to pin them to ensure full coverage. Oddly, the size bigger was shorter and wouldn't have worked well with heels, but this one was the perfect length. The belt doesn't have holes, which was a bit unexpected. The dress is beautiful and has a nice 'spin' for dancing. I'm not sure I would pick it for an evening event again, as the colors felt more suited to daytime. But I would definitely rent it again for a daytime event. 

Wore strapless bra and nude heels. No need for slip due to lining. 
Lining has adjustable straps and snaps at shoulders to keep in place. Length was perfect. Belt tacked on one side through loop to keep in place. Easy to tighten belt as desired since no holes. Waist nor arm sleeves have elastic but fit TTS. Nice zipper length with two hooks above at back of neck. Subtle amount of sequins throughout were pretty. 

The belt right under the bust and puffy sleeps made me look a tad bustier/top heavy. But, overall I liked the dress a lot.

Fit beautifully, can wear normal undergarments! The back is so gorgeous! It swirled and swished every time I moved and the sheer and sequins made it next level. I went with more “rock and roll” makeup and hair to offset the softness of the dress. 

Dress was perfect!! Felt incredible in this. Ran true to size, I’d say, but the arm holes were SMALL, I’d size up just for this.  I’m 5’11 for reference, it’s not nearly as long as I thought. Didn’t ruin the appearance, but personally would have appreciated more length (again 5’11!!!!). Wear a strapless bra with this too, you can see any straps because the dress is sheer on top. 

This looks extra long because I tried it on before it was hemmed to 58" from shoulder to hemline! Overall the dress was a bit big on me - so size down if you're between sizes. The pink satin slip underlay was so pretty and was definitely appropriate for a wedding or formal summer event. It's nice that you can wear a standard bra - and the dress is lined so you don't need to worry about nude undergarments.
