This was a formal military ball event.
Fits true to size, but the long is very long so I would've been fine with regular length. But otherwise, comfortable and easy to move in.

Beautiful color and fabric!
This dress is just beautiful on! The beading really accentuates the neckline and waist, but be aware it is very low in the back. Normally I have trouble finding things that fit me in both the bust and waist, but this dress seemed to be cut right for more hourglass figures. If you are busty, order a larger size, this was very tight across the chest, but because it was backless it ended up fitting.

Lots of compliments and a lovely shade of blue. I felt beautiful in this dress.
The only con was the neck strap was really uncomfortable by the end of the night.

Nice last minute replacement
I grabbed this dress from the rent the run way store in soho after the dress I originally ordered didn't fit well. It was really the only option I had in my size. But it worked well, most of my friends knew it was a last minute replacement and everyone said it worked. The dress I had was more of a grey teal, not the baby blue in this photo. I did needed to wear a nude bra with it since the back is very low, so I could not wear a regular halter bra. Also bc I have such a short torsoe I needed to pin the back of the halter so that I wasn't showing 6 inches of cleavage.

Perfect length with 3 inch heels, Fit perfectly on my hips, however the waist was a bit large but thats probably just my body type! Overall great dress, 100% recommended

This dress is stunning and I got plenty of compliments at my senior prom!
This dress is a pretty blue but is a lot darker than the picture on the website. The neck halter is a little long, I had to use fashion tape so my bra wouldn't show. Overall it's very comfortable and able to dance in. 100% silk is what makes it very unique.

Dress was a huge hit, received many compliments.
Fit was great, I am 5'7", 36B, 128lbs. The 4R was fine, wearing 3 inch heels. I do not like anything dragging. It was comfortable but the hooks for the halter neck were a little funny & had a tendency to unhook, which made me a little nervous. No malfunctions however, but I was very careful not to raise my arms too much dancing. It is close fitting & not too much room in the hip area, which might be a consideration. Loved it!

Everyone loved the dress!
The top was too big but was able to pin behind the neck to pull it up to stop the gaping on the sides. It was a little big in the waist but it does not stretch so I think the size down would have been too tight across hips. I am 5'3", 32dd, 120lbs for reference. The length was long for me even with 4 in heels but made it work. The color is more teal than the light blue on the website. Received tons of compliments. Would rent again.

The fact that the dress color matched my eyes!
I am 5'7. The R length was fine with 3 1/2 inch heels! It runs a bit long. It is silk so I had to be careful all night not to spill! The color is a wedge wood blue - a bit darker than it appears on screen. My eyes are the same color and I received so many compliments about that! The bling is beautiful. No other girl had a dress like mine so I felt very special in it. I also rented the suggested earrings (gorgeous!); bracelet and clutch.

Most beautiful dress of all time!
I picked this dress at the 11th hour for a last-minute elopement. There was little to choose from, and I was leery that this dress would be too bright or glitzy in a bad way. I couldn't have been more wrong: I'm 51 and this is the most beautiful dress I've ever seen. It's pure silk, a dusky, subtle, hydrangea blue (not the aqua pictured on the website). The beading is elegant, tasteful and not at all tacky. The 0 fit me perfectly (35-25-33; 115 lbs). I'm 5'6" and wore 3.5" heels. The regular length was just right, although the dress is longer in back, so I had to hold it up walking up stairs, across grass, etc. Also, you'll need a stick-on bra that can't be seen from back or sides, as the back and sides are very plunging, and the thinnish silk, though lined, requires some coverage for modesty. I received SO many compliments. Complete strangers were gushing and my now-husband was blown away. Finally, this dress is super-comfortable -- almost like a nightgown. Get this dress, and you'll be the fairytale princess of your (and his) dreams!

Very elegant and curve hugging
This dress hugs all of your curves, it shows skin in all of the right ways and keeps you covered where it matters. It definitely shows all bumps but it's comfortable and flattering. It was definitely a show stopper. I liked it.

STYLIST REVIEW
This gorgeous beaded Marchesa dress is a showstopper! It fits true to size, and has a little stretch in the fabric. I would recommend wearing spanx as this dress shows every curve. The halter neck is comfortable and supports all bust sizes. I would recommend a nubra.

Perfect for black tie wedding
I wore this for a black tie wedding in Michigan and it did not disappoint! I am 5' 8" and the regular length was perfect for mid-height heels, and not too long late into the party when the shoes came off. Works with a sticky bra, or no bra if you are on the smaller side (at 34B I felt borderline so went with the sticky bra). This dress really shows off your back and shoulders--great for us sporty types who find ourselves at the gym more often than at formal affairs.

fits true to size, needed a size smaller but still was able to pull it off pretty well. great length for those of us who are a bit more vertically challenged, and didnt' have to wear a ridiculous heel. one of my more favorite rentals

I'm on the shorter side so the 'L' was way too long. I'm typically a 2 and I was swimming in the 2L.
Needed the 0R, I'm typically a 2. Not really sure how this would look since I was swimming in it

The dress was beautiful and unique - a lot of compliments.
Very tight around the waist, and low cut. Don't plan on wearing a bra. Also, the fabric was unforgiving when it came to spills. I got 2 drinks spilled on me and it was very obvious.

This was way way too big. I thought it was gorgeous but it was gaping open at the top and at lease six inches too long. the zero seemed like a medium.
