I can't breathe!
While I don't regret buying it, I doubt I'll be wearing it for very long ever, and probably not very often. My boyfriend loves it, but I can't deal with the constant strangulation. Too bad for him!

Pros
cheap, opaque
Cons
neck hole is too small, short, quality, one size fits who?
I've been eying this dress for months, so with some saved up points, I took the plunge and bought it. Its design is definitely not for everyone, it's very edgy and sexy in a tough way (if that makes any sense to anyone else?) but I love the way it looks. The way it fits, however...is a slightly different story. Let's move on to the review...
This arrived in a little Music Legs paperboard package, pink, with the stock photos we have here on Eden printed on it. Very cute, practical packaging---this dress loses no points in that department.
When I took the dress out of the package, however, I felt my heart sink. It looked practically see-through, and more like a pair of tights than a dress. I sadly unfolded it and prepared to put it on, assuming the dress was going to look horrible.
Putting this on is, not going to lie, a HUGE pain in the ass. My fingers got caught on every slash, even when I balled up my fists it still got all messed up. My boyfriend had to help me put this on, amidst me screaming, "I can't breathe! I can't breathe! I'm choking!" the entire time. (The neck hole on this needs to be about twice the size it is.) As soon as it was on, I heard some threads break, and I looked over the garment but nothing appeared to have torn. I guess that speaks for the quality of this item...Yeah. Not great.
Moving on!
Somehow, this DOESN'T go sheer when it's on! I was shocked and amazed! Despite being slightly blue in the face from lack of oxygen, this looked great on me! The biggest slash around the stomach area is a little unflattering, even on my mostly-flat stomach, so that's something to think about before buying this. My intention is to wear this over a bright-colored tank top or something, so I wasn't too concerned with that aspect, but if you're buying this as a sexy, lingerie piece...you've been warned.
Lastly, this is nowhere near dress-length on me. I know I have a very long torso and I'm about 5'7" but still. The material is so clingy I can't imagine this being a dress on anyone, unless maybe they're less than 5' tall and weigh, like, 80 pounds. This also might have the potential to get itchy!
Anyway, I can't be too upset about this not fitting very well. (even though plenty of "OSFM" things fit me well!) It was a cheap item that frankly, looks and feels cheap. I'll get some use out of it but definitely not much. Fun for every once in awhile.

Follow-up commentary
1 month after original review
While I still think this is an awesome-LOOKING piece, it's just not practical. I wore this today and it took me quite a big chunk of time to get into---the arms had gotten twisted and you had to individually pull the arm through each slit. Sooo annoying.
I ended up cutting small slits in the neck to keep from feeling strangled, but even then, this was highly uncomfortable. Boo :(
