My husband and I were invited to our first Indian wedding, and I thought this dress style and color would fit in well with guests who may be wearing traditional Indian attire. The dress came in good condition with no stains and fabric issues. Like every dress I rent, the torso section was a little long, so I had to take in about 2-3 inches at the shoulders. If I hadn't, the cleavage section would have been too loose and I would have ended up flashing half the guests. Once I took in the fabric at the shoulders, the length was manageable (I'm 5'0" and wore 4.5 inch heels). The hem was skimming the floor (maybe a quarter inch on the floor), so just to be safe I still lifted the dress a little as I walked so I didn't tear the hem. Overall, I liked the look of the dress. It's not very tight so it had a slight "am I pregnant, am I not" look on me but I was ok with it. My only issue was that, though the fabric was very pretty, chiffon shows stains way too easily. I have some pictures where you can see where a piece of salad fell on my dress and by the end of the night, there were white wine stains on the front after people backed up into me holding a glass of wine. It's not an issue if you are in a dark room for the entire event, but it was just making me self conscious and super cautious the entire night. Overall, it wasn't a perfect dress for me, but given the workability of the fabric to allow me to take in a few inches at the top and the style I needed for the wedding, I was happy with my rental.
