Scarlett Nite Women's Shutter-pleated Matte Jersey Dress

I wanted red and black but that was sold out so I got black and ivory (It's not white). I am a dress size 6 and decided to risk it and order my exact size. It fits perfectly. My only complaint was a weird little issue with one of the arm holes, somehow some fabric was tucked in there in an odd way, but it was completely invisible once the dress was on, and made no difference to how it looks. Just made that one arm hole fit more tightly. I had no trouble with the zipper bunching or anything else. The dress does fit snugly, but the 'shutter look' is very flattering and the crisscross bodice is really appealing. It WILL show off all your curves...(I wore control panty hose) =)...you will get a lot of compliments. One other thing I haven't seen mentioned...this dress is heavy! Not in a bad way, but it has a lot of fabric on it. I'm happy with it.

I usually wear size 6 or 8. In the description for the dress, it says "Dress runs small. We suggest ordering one size larger than usual". In addition, when I checked the size chart, for my measurements, a size 10 was applicable so I ordered a size 10. However, when I got the dress it was too loose especially up top. The top half sagged at the back. The bottom half fit ok but was not as tight as it should have been. The dress is beautiful though. I got it 1 week before the event that I purchased it for wearing to. Since I am in Canada, I wouldn't have had enough time to return it and get a smaller size. So I had to keep the size 10 and wear it this way, with the top back sagging. From the front, I looked great. From the back, not so much. Sometimes I would pull the front down to create the illusion of a scoop neck so that the back wouldn't pucker out. Bad experience. Next time I wont follow the warnings in the description nor the size chart. I will just buy the size that I always wear. Before I wear the dress again, I will have to get it adjusted.

I ordered this dress in anticipation of a presentation at a dinner/banquet for my company. Since I had just begun a very strict diet I ordered the size I wanted to be at the time of the presentation and used this dress as a motivator. Last weekend I attended the event in my new dress which fit perfectly (as mentioned in other reviews, it runs snug so I ordered a size higher) I have the b/w dress which I accessorized with red heels/leather clutch bag and b/w/r suttle jewelry.If it had lining on the bottom of the dress I would give it five stars.

I was a little skeptical in ordering this dress online. Received the dress today and loved it. It fits perfectly. I will definitely be ordering again. Very Pleased.RegardsLiz
