Promising review: "I searched through about 300 'cocktail dresses with long sleeves' options before finding this gem! The material is great, stands up to wrinkles/long car rides, and doesn’t cling at all. The cut is (really) low so I got some skin/fabric tape to close it up. I got the large — a medium would probably have been too short. I love it!" —Amazon Customer

The fabric does not have any stretch at all so you want to be sure to order the right size. Also, the color is a little more vibrant than the picture on the site." —Tori H

Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress — it fits perfectly and it's so adorable. The first day I wore it I got so many compliments and it was so comfortable.

Promising review: "Absolutely gorgeous. So soft and the color is rich. Does hit ankle length on me, I'm almost 5'4". The breast cups are of course too small (38DD) but with a lacy balconette bra, it still looks very pretty." —cpmcwilliams

Promising review: "This red dress is thick yet has a beautiful drape to it. The sleeves are lantern-shaped and have a cute ruffle detail on the edge. The pintucks in the front and back are placed in the perfect spot to accentuate the waist. The dress fits like a glove. It is a bit longer on me than the model (I am 5'2" for reference). A perfect dress for Valentine's Day or the holidays!" —ruth maldonado

Promising review: "I love love love this dress. I wore it for Easter this year and got so many compliments. My ONLY complaint is the boob area. However, this was only a complaint on Easter when I would have liked to have been more modest. I had to pin the dress in the cleavage area to make sure the girls were covered. Since then I have bought another dress in a different color and am excited to wear them this summer! BUY THIS DRESS. If you’re second-guessing whether or not to buy it, BUY IT." —Rhianna Hill

Reviewers have pointed out that this dress seems to run a tad big — customers suggest ordering a size down!
Promising review: "I bought this for my company Christmas party. It was a runaway hit — so much so that people who didn't attend the party were asking about the dress because so many people said how pretty it was. I was called 'Marilyn' since I wore this with red patent heels and classic red lipstick. The fabric had enough give to make it comfortable to wear the whole night without feeling constricted. The fabric itself is smooth, of a good weight, and irons to a crisp finish. I am 5'4" and the skirt hits several inches below the knee. I bought a petticoat to wear with it, and while you may not need it, it does add to the drama." —Christine Garcia

Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress! I hosted my NYE party at my home and it was excellent for the occasion! It arrived on time. The sequins stayed in place, none dropped off. I was worried that it may be too short and fit like a huge T-shirt, but it didn't. The bust area is a tighter fit than the bottom portion of the dress. So if you are extremely big busted, my advice would be to go a size up. I'm a size 34DD bust and it was a bit too tight but manageable, (wore it with no bra), if I had gone up a size the bottom part would have been way too big and require alterations. I'm overall very pleased! I received a lot of compliments that night!" —HeyNiks (YouTube)

Promising review: "Ohhhh my goodness, I have been RAVING about this dress ever since I got it. It’s so comfy and the top stays up so it never needs constant readjusting like other off-the-shoulder clothing. It looked great in photos! It closely matches the color in the pic. I also appreciated that I really didn’t need to steam it at all, which was surprising considering it came folded up tightly. Highly recommend for spring/summer weddings, vacation, etc.!" —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "This dress is soo cute and the material is great for how cheap it is! I was so impressed by the quality. I ordered a size bigger than normal and I probably could have gotten my normal size but I wanted to have it a little longer so I could wear it to work!" —Gracyn Herman

Promising review: "Love everything about this dress! The red color is vibrant, the material is versatile, and the flutter sleeves are adorable!

Promising review: "I loved the way this dress fits me. It's a very, very pretty dress. I bought it for my daughter's fortieth birthday and it's perfect. It's festive without being too dressy, fits great, and a good fabric that doesn't wrinkle. I will buy from Lark & Ro again." —Georgia Browne

Promising review: "God this dress is gorgeous. It’s tough to zip up the last two inches but once I do it fits perfectly. Other reviews are right, the breast area gaps weird on the sides. I can wear this without a bra but it looks better with. Anyone with more than a small C cup would have a really hard time containing anything in this dress. I also agree with some reviews that it puffs a little weird at the hips but that’s because it’s sewn to the liner to make POCKETS!!!!!! It’s mid-calf on me but since that’s only the overlay it still looks good. It’s lighter than I expected but def heavier than a typical summer dress. Also, the straps are stretchy but mine definitely came with an adjuster. The construction is beautiful so if you’re on the fence definitely get it!" —D12

Promising review: "Beautiful dress. The length was perfect. It did run small due to my large chest and broad shoulders, so I returned and got a larger size. The material is heavy, the swing isn't as dramatic as it is in the picture. I received so many compliments. I had originally wanted this dress in black but it was sold out so I got the blue, which I was surprised by how complimentary it was." —Shauna
Get it from Amazon for $34.88+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 18 colors). And for anyone worried about the plunging neckline, try a convertible V-bra.
