    Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2024
    Size: X-LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase
    Do not downsize. I can wear a L/XL and ordered an XL in this and hoo boy…it was work to get it on. But after all the back rolls were in…it looked like a million bucks. Lol.

    Slimming right on down to the ankles- I am 5’6” 189 and I am gonna look sooo hot in it!

    One more thing- you are not going to get this off to go to the bathroom, so be prepared- you will have to hike it up and situate the leg hole just right. The good news is it is fitted like a panty not a boxer brief…if that makes sense, the leg hole appears to be pretty stretchy otherwise you would literally have to hold it.

    Btw saw this same dress listed for sale at a local retailer for twice the price.

    Oh and also my husband had to help me pull the back up which was terrifying- lol- but he stood back and said I looked beautiful in it.. Norma Kamali for the win!!

    This dress was almost impossible to get on. It was very unflattering. The siding looks like a bedsheet. Because it’s so hot and thick, you feel so hot and uncomfortable. Honestly, the quality looks like shein too. You can see the panty line from the built in shape wear, and it also flattens your breast. Doesn’t nothing for your figure! Glad I have a few days left to look for another dress. Don’t waste your money

    5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, flattering evening dress
    Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2023
    Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase
    This dress was beautiful, flattering, comfortable, and elegant. I’m a US size 12 and got a large. For the most part it fit perfectly, but it was snug on the butt area for me. If you’re between a 12-14 or you are large on the butt area then go for the XL. There is a built in underwear piece where the fabric on one side is gathered to connect to it that made getting the dress over my butt a challenge. Some reviews say there is a visible panty line, but I didn’t notice it. Overall great staple evening dress that I will continue to wear.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected
    Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2024
    Size: MediumColor: BlackVerified Purchase
    I had high hopes for the Norma Kamali Women's Diana Gown, but unfortunately, it didn't quite meet my expectations. The material was jersey-like and didn't appeal to me personally. While I can see how it might be flattering for others, it didn't flatter my figure as I had hoped. I purchased for a gala but didn't think the material would be appropriate for the occasion.

    Another issue I encountered was the length and asymmetrical design of the gown. It was longer on me than expected, which didn't suit my height or personal style preference. The asymmetry added a unique touch to the design, but it didn't translate well when worn.

    On a positive note, the gown arrived promptly and was well-packaged, and the construction seemed solid. The color was true to the images online, which was a plus. However, ultimately, the material and fit were not suitable for me.

    If you're considering this gown, I would suggest keeping in mind your body type and height. It might work beautifully for someone else, but unfortunately, it wasn't the right fit for me.

    Fabric felt nice and it appeared very good quality other than issues listed above.

    I looooove this dress to the moon and back. ONLY THING IS - if you buy the LAMÈ, PLEASE make sure to rinse the dress in cold water before you wear it!!!! I had to rinse it three times in my bathtub to get the excess dye out, to ensure it wouldn’t transfer to my skin! Do that, and you’ll be golden!!

    Great quality jersey dress with built in body suit to hide the panty lines. Built in body suit sucks you in and the ruching is flattering. Great for a formal evening wedding or holiday event. Fits true to size

    Reviewed in Canada on April 18, 2023
    Size: SmallColor: PapayaVerified Purchase
    I’m so happy with this dress. I tried this dress on in a store in red and wanted to find it in the papaya color for a wedding that is next week. The only place I could find it in stock was on Amazon and I was nervous it might not be authentic based on some reviews. The dress I received is definitely authentic, is exactly like the one I found in store, and is so flattering! I can’t wait to wear it to the wedding! The only thing I dislike is the bodysuit that is built in as it is a full-bum, but I’m going to take it to a tailor to have it changed to a thong. Definitely the best dress in my closet now.
    I bought a small and am 5’ 3” and about 135lbs. It fits great…it’s to my ankle on one side, which is exactly what I was looking for!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, flattering but too long for petites
    Reviewed in Canada on October 1, 2022
    Size: SmallColor: BlackVerified Purchase
    It is comfortable, flattering and stylish! However if you’re petite, the long side hangs at your ankle and touches your shoe, which isn’t ideal. I recommend having it altered 2” shorter and it would be perfect.
