    It's a beautiful dress but very well known which I think has caused it to be over-used.

    Its pretty, but ive seen way to many girls wear it. I feel like every blog I looked at I saw  a girl wearing it. Maybe that doesnt really bother you thouglh.

    I don't like it, but I don't like most dresses of that style. I think the way that it pooches out back behind the knees looks strange, like the model has some bizarre lower-thigh tumor. And from the front, the shininess of the fabric and lack of any ruching would probably make it fairly unforgiving on a lot of body types.

    I love this dress b/c it's simple, and I feel like 25 yrs from now when I look at picts I'll still feel the same way about it.  I didn't even know it was popular until after I purchased it.  Doesn't bother me that it's popular as long as I look good in it!!

    I'm not a huge fan of the pleats where her hands are in the 2nd shot. It looks awkward, even though in the first picture I can see it travels all the way to the back and forms a V shape after the buttons. It just looks odd at the front. It reminds me of gills on a fish IMO. 

    That being said, I like the rest of it and I agree with crebe that it'd look good on most body types.

    I like it.  It's a simple and elegant dress, I would wear it but it is kind of popular so I probably wouldn't get it because of that

    I think it's very flattering on the body because of the sleek fabric and cut. But there's like a dozen of these on the preowned sites right now and I keep seeing them in the "price reduced" category, so I agree with the overexposure.

    I loved it!  It was a bit heavy even with alterations, so we added thin straps to it.  It is a very popular dress, but I was in love with several designer dresses out of my price range (including Lia), so the popularity helped me find a preowned one!

    Maybe its the model, but I swear its so tight on the girl on the runway it gives her a faux bump.
