 LOVE This Dress!, 4.23.2013

I'm 5'6" and bought the black version in 3X. I wore this with gold accessories to an upscale event and received tons of compliments. The dress is slightly stretchy and was very comfortable. The ruching was flattering and the skirt didn't hug or emphasize my stomach, like some dresses do.
The lace is NOT sheer over the chest area, there is nude paneling. I wore a strapless black bra and it worked perfectly. I probably could have worn a regular, nude-colored bra and that would have worked too.
Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and can't wait to wear this dress again!

I have never purchased a dress over the internet before, but when I saw this dress, I had to buy it. I ordered it in blue and it fits perfect, just like I had hoped. It looks so sexy on and it accommodates my big bust. The top with the net lining blends in with my skin perfectly and hides my bra. The lace is very natural looking and hides all my bulges. The skirt is flowy and makes me look as though I have hips. I just wish the lining was made with a silkier material instead of polyester. This dress is a bit overpriced for the material, but it has a nice fit and the ruching makes it worth the price. I knew I would need it shortened because I am short and it is very long. Although I need a place to wear it to, I do not regret buying this dress.

This dress was purchased for my work holiday party and definitely made me memorable; I received so many compliments on it. Not only is this dress great for special occasions, but it's also a great dress to wear at work. |

I have pined for this dress since it first appeared on the website and finally received it as a Christmas gift. As soon as I pulled it out of the box, I knew it would not work. When I tried it on, I was disappointed that my assumption was correct. The nude lining really doesn't work for me. I think that a more sheer fabric at the top would better accommodate the multiple skin tones of shoppers. The fit over my tummy was frumpy and the ruching made it look worse. The length was pretty unflattering for me (I'm 5'6"). I so wanted this to work, but it just didn't. Plus, I just wasn't happy with the quality of the lace. I have another Kiyonna lace dress that I love love love, but this one just missed the mark. I'm returning it for another dress.

This dress is gorgeously made! I have an hourglass figure, carrying most of my weight in my hips. The top of this dress looked great and LOVED the cranberry color, but the bottom of the dress seemed to emphasize my hips. Oh well. I purchased the Smitten Lace Top (basically the top of this dress) and couldn't be happier. If you are more straight waisted, this dress will be divine!

This dress is too cute for words! I ordered it for a holiday party and was excited about the grey since I knew everyone else would be in red and black! When I received it, the dress had a purple tint to it, which is fine. The mesh was perfect for my darker skin tone. It relieved the problem of having to find a special bra. The only problem was the sash at the waist. It hung awkward on me. I wanted it to give me a nice flattering fit since I can look a bit boxy in dresses, but it didn't work. Maybe it works in a smaller size. I returned it and got the Valentina Illusion Dress and I felt it worked much better for my body type!

This dress is absolutely adorable, but it just didn't work for me. The ruching at the waist was too loose and just hung limply rather than creating the nice waist band as pictured on the site. I don't think the size was the issue, as the lining part fit great and another dress I have in the same size fit fine. I'm sad that I have to send it back; otherwise, it's just what I was looking for!

I'm a 2x, this dress is gorgeous and fit exactly the way it looked on the model. I wore it to a special event and got tons of compliments. The nude lining works well because I wore a black bra under the dress and you couldn't tell at all. Also, the dress is a great length and the ruching over the tummy works miracles. Love the deep slate gray color.

This dress is amazing! I originally bought it in black for an "Adele" Halloween costume, knowing I'd be able to keep it afterwards for many other occasions. I did have to return my original purchase for a smaller size (I am a pear shape), as the bust/mid-section was not as fitted as the pictures made it seem. Got many compliments. Also, got around the bra strap issue by simply wearing a strapless bra. |

This dress wears EXACTLY like it does on the model. I'm a 3X and it was gorgeous and so slimming. Not only that, but I have a large chest (as in, they don't sell my size chest in brick and mortar stores) and I can still wear a bra with this and it's undetectable because there is a mesh lining under the lace in the chest and back area. Also, this mesh blends with various skin tones so easily. I'm nice and chocolate and my friend is creamy and fair and we both tried it out and it worked. I don't know how, but it does! Get it!

I got this for a military ball; it has such a Mad Men feel about it. I tried it on and just fell in love. I'm 5'10 and a size 14 up top and it fits like a glove. It's the perfect length on me and it's just gorgeous. My husband's eyes popped out of his head. ;o) Thank you Kiyonna for this dress! It's so hard to find dresses that fit a curvy woman and you guys do it every time. I heart Kiyonna!

This fabulous dress was the perfect thing to wear to a wedding. I bought it in Twilight Grey, wore it with flower patterned wedges (pink/yellow/grey), and was stopped by two women telling me that I looked gorgeous and that they'd been admiring my dress since I showed up and wanted to know where I had bought it. This is no surprise to me, as this is the fourth Kiyonna dress that I have purchased and I have LOVED all of them! With each one that I have worn, I have been repeatedly told how beautiful my dress is and how beautiful I look. This one is no exception. I will be buying yellow suede pumps to wear with it this fall. I am a size 12/14 and bought it in size 1. Fits perfectly.

I love this dress for its Mad Men like look and feel. I purchased this for a late September wedding and will feel like a million, assuming I can figure out a bra situation. My only complaint is that bra straps show and strapless just doesn't work for me. Would have loved this even more had there been a matching fabric wide strap under the lace to seamlessly go with the style of the dress and to serve the purpose of covering the strap. I love it too much to send back so, again, I'll figure something out! Another great dress from Kiyonna!

I purchased the Luna Lace Dress in grey. I copied the model and wear yellow heels and loved it. I ordered a 2x and it was just right. It is on the fitted side, but it was so comfortable that I did not mind. Husband said I looked awesome! I felt awesome! |

Just received this dress which I bought to wear to a rehearsal dinner (I'm a bridesmaid). This dress is perfect! Lightweight, but my tummy and thighs are well-disguised. Will wear with really cute heels and feel great next to the skinny bride and bridesmaids. |

This is just a lovely, comfortable, and beautifully-made lace dress. It is hard to cover the bra straps, but you can easily get inserts or really thin straps. The raspberry is a gorgeous color that would really compliment just about any complexion. I was very pleased and I think you will be too!
