I love this dress and felt so cute wearing it all day! It's stretchy and super comfy, and the top is lined which is great since my most comfortable bras are all black. I love the shape on me and it has some really great details like gathers and, my favorite, pockets! It's a guy pleaser too, boyfriend loved how it showed off my curves with the cinched waist.
See? I loveee the pleating at the shoulder, its such a rich detail. If the girls weren't so voluptuous, you'd see that pleating detail continue across the bust, but on me you only really see it at the should and a little bit right at the bustline. The one thing that bothers me is, because those pleats are stretched out a bit, they poof at the bustline. If I can find a way to sew or pin those bad boys down so they don't poof, this dress will be perfect :) It's still available, btw!
Fair warning though, it took me over a month to receive my dress. This may be a fluke because I have ordered from DP before and gotten my order in just a few days. I will say though, they were super nice about it and refunded my money after four weeks of waiting. I don't feel guilty about getting the dress though, as they told me it still might arrive, and if it did it was still mine to keep.
I went with simple accessories today to let the dress be the centerpiece. A black beaded necklace, black bangle, stack rings, my trusty (and worn out as hell) black skinny belt, tights and flats were all I needed. I had another day of beautiful weather so I hit up my new picture spot. Thank goodness I was almost done when a group of people drove up to the house next door One of the girls sat on her front stoop until I left like I was going to rob her house or something. Geez LaWEEZ girlfriend, do I look like I'm dressed for a B&E?

Love the dress! So happy it made its way to you. I was looking around on their site and this caught my eye last week, but I had an issue with another UK retailer (Yours Clothing) and didn't want to have to wait forever to get my shipment again.
