Elegant and classy!

I absolutely love this dress. The color is gorgeous, the material is high quality and it hugs in all the right places. Wearing a bra is tricky, due to how the dress is cut, but I actually didn't need one because the fabric holds everything in place. Very stretchy and comfortable. My husband loved it and actually wants me to buy it, and he is picky! Only thing is that I wish I had gotten a small instead of a medium because I wanted a more snug fit. All in all, a great find!!

Great dress and even better from the back!

This dress hugs in all the right places. It's tight, I definitely wore shape wear. But it's stunning from the front and even better from the back. A real showstopper!

Red Hot!

Really a pretty dress! I didn't end up wearing it to the event I was going to, as I went with my other dress. But, this dress was a close runner up. I am usually a size 8 and got a Large (I would usually be a Medium). It fit perfectly. I just didn't feel it was as flattering as the other dress I had selected. It kind of cut into me at my hips, making weird lines in the dress for me. And, the back keyhole surrounding fabric was a little loose/baggy. But, this dress is SO soft and really comfortable! And, the color is fabulous! Bright red! I would recommend. But go up a size from your usual.

Comfy and tight

I loved this dress. It's very tight but hugs in the right places. The material is a bit thin so be wary of your undergarment lines.

Red and bold

This dress is fitted and works well for an hourglass shape. I could wear this out for a nice happy hour and tame it down with a blazer for work (which I did). I love the dress and have not returned it yet. I'm contemplating buying it!

A perfect pop of red!

I love this trendy dress by Shilla! Running true to size with no stretch, I recommend wearing your true size for your primary size and going up for your back up. This style is fitted throughout the midsection and fitted at the hips. It works for all sizes A-C. You are not able to wear a standard bra with this dress so you should wear nubra or a low strapless bra since there is an open back. At 5’4”, the length hit tea length on me. This shade of red of the dress is amazing in person and makes it unique. Pair with black or nude heels and fun earrings to complete your outfit!

Great color!

I really enjoyed this dress, I think the color is a standout. The back is cut out, so I may not be work-friendly, but definitely party friendly. The arm holes are a bit large, but that didn't cause me any problems. Overall I liked it!

Holiday dress and bold work dress

The fabric was a little worn. The dress was soft and the length was flattering. It was a little too big and bunched up after walking but looked great well it was pulled down.

I loved this dress! It fit perfectly! If I could buy it and wear it again, I would. I wore this to an outside holiday party in Miami and it was comfortable. The armholes did fit a little loose but you really couldn't tell. I would absolutely rent!

Very elegant, beautiful color

I did not end up wearing this, it was my backup dress and I thought it had more of a business/work vibe than a wedding vibe. Really comfortable, great dress though. I think the style would be perfect for an event like a work conference, has a very professional look.

Got a ton of compliments on this dress! The cut and length were perfect for my event. It ran a little snug on my hips/butt, but nothing a light pair of Spanx couldn't smooth out.

I typically wear an 8, pear shaped/ample hips and bum. I ordered the large as advised and it fit like a glove. Received tons of compliments. The back cut out is sexy and allows for a standard strapless bra.

Cute neckline

The high neckline on this is super cute. The back is cut too low to wear a standard bra (and probably isn't acceptable for work anyway) so I wore a blazer over it. Great conservative length - perfect desk to dinner in my book!

Really pretty color.

This dress was lovely, but I wish the fabric was a little more firm. It was a basic cotton, which I wasn't really expecting. Ended up buying spanx to wear underneath it just to make myself feel a little more "held together." Pretty dress, though.
