Who knew "papaya" was my color?
I wasn't sure I'd end up liking this dress - neither orange nor ruffles are usually my thing - but oh, was this dress ever perfection. The ruffles didn't overwhelm me (at 5'3" that can be a problem) and the orange/papaya color was vibrant, but not obnoxiously bright. The fit was true to size - I am usually a 0, and the 0 fit just right, but with no room to spare. The dress has no stretch and is fitted through the rib cage and waist. The arms were slightly constricting, but not as bad as some cold shoulder dresses I've worn. There is a good sized slit in the front, which made it easy to walk in, but when you sit, it can climb a bit high if you're not paying attention. I didn't wear a bra with this, but it's definitely low-cut strapless bra friendly. The material is so silky and soft and light. It was comfortable and made me feel like I was floating along as I walked. I wore it to a show in Vegas and got compliments and stares from strangers all night. This dress was designed to make the wearer look and feel beautiful. One note for anyone renting this dress - tying the back can be a bit difficult to do yourself. I did manage, but it would be easier with a friend. Also, since the material is so silky, the tie came undone a couple times. It's not structural, so you won't be at risk for a wardrobe malfunction, and it stayed fine once I asked my husband to double knot it for me.

Perfect!
Loved this dress! The color was beautiful in person and the silk fabric made the fit perfect. Was worried that it would be tight around my curvy hips and booty but fit like a glove without feeling too tight. Definitely recommend for any occasion, fun to wear and got compliments all night.

I admittedly rented this without knowing when or where I would wear it. But alas, my grandmother decided to marry her nursing home beau! I disagree with the reviews saying this runs small. I think it runs true to size. I will say that if you have a little more bootyliciousness, this will bunch above it a bit and the skirt will be tighter. Overall this is a wonderful dress, it's made very well and the material is soft!

This dress is elegant, sophisticated, and modern. The color and style is unique.
Pros: This dress is gorgeous. I cannot say enough about the color, design, and overall elegance this dress exudes. It is so unique that you will have people stop you. The slit in the middle is high, so make sure if you choose to wear Spanx under get the thong or boy shorts. Cons: The fit is European. If you are US/4 normally, order this in a 8R. I got a 6R, and needed to wear a waist cincher in order to fit. Due to it being too small, the arms were tighter and the bootie area was snug. Wear a strapless low cut bra so you have a little support.

Hot Papaya
The color is truly gorgeous, papaya is accurate. Love the sheen and light weight of the stretch silk. TTS but very fitted so I wore smoothing spanx and everything I consumed was visible in the stomach region. Also the split up the front is a bit high so had to do some maneuvering with my spanx shorts and it was tonight to get low during The Shout. Wore a bunch bra. A beautiful and luxurious dress!!!

So beautiful
Silk but not too light - well constructed and it looks like an orange creamsicle pop color - the sleeves stand out and can make you look more broad - - the 2 is comfortable - any smaller would have been snugged - oh but when you're seated that split is really high off the front so cover up your lap with a napkin or purse

LOT'S of compliments!!
Total strangers stopped me to compliment this dress! The fit and color are amazing, very unique! I am 5'8", 34C, usually fit into a size 6, and that's exactly what I wore! It was a little snug in the hips with very little stretch, so size up for your back-up!

Beautiful dress but size up
Alright.. a little too snug in the ribs! I have a pretty big rib cage for my size so it fit me weird, probably should have ordered up. Length and the rest was great, and loved the color!

Pretty and fun!
I never wear orange but this color was very pretty and not overwhelming with nude shoes/bag. In order to get the neck tied I scrunched the sleeves up to get my range of motion back but I had to have my husband hook the top of the zipper for me when I got to the event. Wrinkles in the middle of you're sitting but most things do so it wasn't a big deal. Some cushnie dresses I'm a 4, some I'm a 2 - I couldn't have gone smaller than a 4 in this one. Great for spring!

So flattering!
I rented this for a cruise, and wore it to dinner one of the nights. It was definitely TIGHT, but nothing some Skims couldn't fix. The slit in the front does come up A LOT when you're sitting down, so just be mindful of that. Got a lot of compliments!

Great color
I love this dress. I am a 6-8, and the 8 was definitely quite fitted. It was lighter than expected and had some stretch. Couldn't wear it because it was stained, but I really wanted to!

Love this color and dress overall. You have to be careful because of the material. It shows all impections and undergarment lines.

Cute dress but it wasn't right for the apccassion I needed.
Turns out the party for which I rented it was a costume party. I'll definitely rent this again.

Beautiful but tight
This is a beautiful dress. The material is gorgeous, as are the arm details. I received many compliments. I'm usually a 0 or 2, and there's no way I could have fit in a 0 in this dress. I probably would have worn a 4 if I'd had one at home. Also, the slit in the front is tasteful when standing, but just be prepared to put a napkin over your lap when you sit. :)

Nice dress but size up 1 or 2 sizes
Fit is very small - I ordered one size up and it didn't fit. Fabric doesn't stretch at all, which makes it challenging!
