I rented this dress for a work event & it was perfect! The dress code was sparkles…. BOOM! I got a lot of comments & compliments. Loved it!

Wore this to a bachelorette in Vegas and it was OK. Not the most comfortable or flattering fit but did the job for a themed night. Fits TTS, extremely itchy around the underarms 

So many compliments! The boning is flattering and it accentuated my hourglass shape. 

It runs a little bit small and I’m usually between a small and medium so it was a bit tight but fine with some shapewear. I have a small chest and even so it was a bit tight, so would def err on sizing up if you have a bigger chest!

It was too snug and the sequins were itchy. I didn’t wear.  

I didn’t end up wearing this, made me too self conscious. Your own body must have a shape to make this work. If you are a straight and narrow shape it will not work, IMO. Also spanx are a must. It’s stretchy and has adjustable straps too. 

Loved this dress! 
My only issue is that the photo indicates the pattern on top and bottom will match but I found that the vertical lines were different based on how the garment was stitched together. It is the typical itchy under the arms that any sequin dress will give you, but I felt so cute wearing it for a night out.

Wore this in Vegas and felt so sexy! Just the right amount of glitz. There is boning in the bust area but it was comfortable enough for me to wear all evening. Would rent again!

Super sparkly, loved it for a holiday dress. 

So comfortable and flattering!! Sparkle Sparkle!

I wore this to a casino themed holiday party and felt like a million bucks, even if my gaming only broke even. The length was perfect and sequins in good condition. The only tricky part was adjusting the length of the straps; they don't move easily which is helpful when you have them where you want them.

I loved the dress! I was a little nervous ordering the dress after having a baby 2 months ago. I normally wear a 4-6 but the medium 8-10 was a little snug. Unfortunately all the large sizes were out of stock but I make it work! If you have a bigger bust, I recommend going up a size. 

Dress has some stretch and the straps adjust.  Very sparkly!  The slit goes high when you are sitting down.  Was very fun to wear.

I didn’t have to wear a bra, the dress offered a good amount of support. It has stretch to it. The sequins rub under your arm but it’s not brutal. I’ve rented this twice. It’s so well made. The sequins are different shapes, it’s so pretty. 

Wore this dress to chaperone a high school prom so I didn’t want anything low cut or too short and this dress was perfect. It came in great condition. I ordered a small and it was snug around the armpits (by the end of the night, those scratchy sequins in my armpits were irritating me), but everywhere else (bust, waist, length) it fit perfectly. Size up if you have a bigger chest since the dress definitely doesn’t stretch up top. Overall, a great experience that saved me a ton of time (no shopping at stores that are hit or miss with sizes) and money! 

Loved this dress! It did run somewhat small. Normally I would be between an XS/S and I wish I got the medium to compare, but the small worked fine for the event. There is some boning structure in the top half of the dress, which dug in a little on one side, but nothing too bad. Overall it was pretty comfortable with no scratching from the sequins, and the side slit was perfect! I wore a strapless bra but you could easily get away without one. Loved the adjustable straps too! 

I wore this for a 1920s themed fundraising event and got so many compliments! I love the sparkle, colors, and style. Great length and the little slit adds a little bit of sass. I’m really glad I got a backup size though because although my regular size (L) fit fine, the boning was reallllyyy uncomfortable. It was easier to deal with wearing the XL, so I went with that. 

I got a Small and Medium. Both fit, but I went with the medium. The small sit good in the waist because it helped snatch me in more, but it was pretty tight in the chest. Medium was very comfy.  

I wore this for a wedding in North Carolina. It was sexy elegant. Danced all night without feeling uncomfortable. 

Perfect dress for NYE or cocktail party! Very comfortable! I'm usually a size small or 4 in most dresses, but the small was a little too snug. Was very happy with the medium size and the fit was awesome. So different than some dresses I've worn previously; I didn't need to re-adjust anything throughout the evening. I recommend wearing a bra for a little lift.

For whatever reason this dress looks great in real life and in every picture at every angle it seems to emphasize my tummy. I’m usually a 10-12 36DD and the size Large was a perfect fit, although the boning definitely digs in around the waist. I will probably go with on of my other options for my event, but it’s still a good dress.

Adjustable straps and very fitted but still classy while fitting the sparkle party theme. Some reviewers said dress was scratchy.
It didn’t bother me much but I did opt to go with the bigger size for more comfort. (Medium, 145lbs, 5’6) Small fit but was very snug.

Wore this to a themed, backyard party! “Red Hot Nights in Rio” 
So Many complaints! Hugs in all the right places! 
Only a little itchy at first, under the arms. But after a while I didn’t notice as much! 

The dress was perfect for a disco-themed birthday party except for the sequence irritating me under the arm. 
The top, above the belly button, has some structure to it. I didn’t need a bra for real. The rest is stretchy and comfortable,

A little tight around the mid section. I loved the slit. The top is not low cut so nice if you have a bigger chest.

This was originally my backup dress for an event, but I fell in love and wore this. It fit me perfectly, it's absolutely eye-catching, and it gives off a cool modern-meets-vintage vibe. 

Notes on the construction and fit: In the past, when I've worn sequined dresses/tops, the sequins have rubbed and left me with small scratches and irritation. I weirdly did not have that problem with this dress. The fabric is nicely stretchy in a snug/supportive way, so you feel free to move around but also a little sucked in. It really smooths over imperfections and made me look curvier that I am (bless). There is plastic boning in the top, two in the front and two in the back. The bones end at the waistline. I'm personally cool with boning, but a pet peeve of mine is boning that ends at the waist because it means the ends dig in right at the top of the hip and can lead to irritation and discomfort. I will say that at the beginning on the night it was fine, but by the end I had raw marks at where the bones ended in the back of the dress. Part of this is probably because I'm sway backed (meaning the base of my spine curves in more than most people), but still... ouch. It's been a week and I'm still healing. I would recommend a slip or some ultra high waist shapewear to add a little more protection to prevent that. Otherwise, just be aware this may not be the dress for dancing the night away if you're not up for a little bit of irritation from the bones and possibly sequins. As for length, I am 5'10" and it hit exactly at the knee. The slight was midthigh and did not expose anything, even when sitting down.

I styled this with plain nude pumps, chunky hoop earrings, and my hair down and in waves. Everyone I talked to at the party complemented the dress and asked where I got it. I felt great! If it weren't for the comfort factor, I would have bought this dress.

Got this dress for a Christmas work party and it was perfect. Got so many compliments all night. The dress is very well structured since it is a bit heavier with all the sequins. If was a snug but perfect fit for me and I’m not busty at all so if you have a larger bust might want to try up a size. 

The dress ran small & was not the most comfortable. I got lots of compliments though!
