Named for the titular character in "Lady Audley's Secret", a Victorian sensational novel by Mary Elizabeth Braddon, this dress is as dangerously stunning as its namesake! Its sensual, taupe cotton sheath is embroidered with an intricate obsidian lace pattern, and the lightly padded bust and delicately ruched bodice lend this frock a figure-flattering shape. Final touches include hidden side pockets in which you can hide your precious secrets, and a generous sash at the back, which you can tie into an elegant bow. Pair with cunning heels, a capelet, and sparkling jewels, and then prepare to undermine Victorian paradigms!

There are many things I liked about this dress. The top actually fit my 38 DD which was a nice surprise. However, I think that the side photo is very misleading. I love the ruching from the front, but the view from the side is very unflattering. I realize that this is a popular cut at the moment and it may look good with other dresses, but the material here is so thick and stiff (which I like actually) that when you move, the ruching puckers and stays extended, making you look pregnant. Perhaps if the material was lighter, more fluid it wouldn't be so obvious, but as it is I don't really like it and if I can't have it fixed, I will be returning it.
The dress is really pretty however, like mentioned above, the bust is very large. I ordered a size L and it fit me everywhere except for the bust and I'm a 36D and normally have a hard time getting dresses to fit in the top, so it was odd for me. The dress is also short. I didn't fit it made me look pregnant from the side at all though. But it wasn't flattering so I'm returning it.
I LOVE this dress and cant wait to wear it! Although I have to have it taken in first it is still worth it!
