I felt like it was a good, modern, youthful dress. It also is extremely comfortable so you can dance, move around, etc.

Somewhat disappointing

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

I really wanted to like this dress, but it did not flatter my figure at all. It was tight on the bust and very loose on the waist. The lace sleeves did not compliment the dress pattern one bit and were somewhat ill-fitting. Not Matthew Williamson's best design.

Helped me nail it and feel fun and fashionable at a fancy NYC cocktail with fashion types.

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

Great dress. Great fabric and the slightly shiny bodice plus the lace sleeves really add great details. Fun cocktail party dress that really stood out in NYC at a high fashion event. Got lots of compliments. I'm short and it was fairly 'mini' on me - on taller women I could imagine it would be super short. Very flattering and sexy on my petite frame. Also, I wore the size 6 which really fit well - usually I wear 0 or 2 (petite) but I guess this was sized up because 6 was the smallest size avail and was perfect on me.

I'm in my mid/almost late 20s and it made me look 10yrs older, but good for a reserved event.

Overall fit: True to Size

Sleeves were a little long for me, but I have short arms. The dress fit well and I have pretty big hips (40'') and small waist (24'') so it's hard to get the size just right, but it hugged well.

Loved it!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I was worried about the sleeves being too tight since there is no stretch in the lace, but they were perfect. I received a ton of compliments!

Amazing print

Size worn: 12

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Date

This dress was really gorgeous in person and I really wanted to love it, but the fit was a bit odd. Perhaps it's just not suited to my body type and would look better on someone much more straight and narrow. The size 10 fit well everywhere else, but was a bit snug in the hips. I opted to wear the 12 so I wouldn't be yanking it down all evening. However the 12 was just a bit too large all over, especially in the shoulders and bust. It still looked good, but I was expecting great.
