Beautiful Classic Dress
Received this dress as a backup for my original dress that was damaged. It is absolutely stunning, more conservative length-wise but still a beauty. The quality was top notch and because of the price point (I'm guessing) there were minimal signs of wear. Sadly, the bust ran small, as you can tell from me holding it closed in the pic. I couldn't get this to zip at all and believe me I tried. With that said, I am a solid D cup so that may play into the issue but I fit into most 6s and even 4s when it comes to the bust, so I think this does runs small. If you don't have a smaller bust, I wouldn't definitely size up.

Top was VERY tight. The zipper had a difficult time a the transition between the corset like top and the fluffy bottom of the dress. I wore gold jewelry and FUN heels with the same pink. I originally ordered a pink "Hi-Low"dress but it couldn't be shipped so they sent this one to me instead. I usually wear a 6 so I was surprised when they sent me an 8 and a 10. They knew what they were doing because the 10 was still very tight up top. Very pretty. Tons of compliments.

Beyond perfection... Super tight waist.
I was a size 4 when I rented this size 8 and it was still super tight. It was comfortable standing but wasn't so good to sit in. But beauty is painful. It's the best dress I have rented so far.

STUNNING SHOW STOPPER!
This dress was a perfect choice for the 142nd Kentucky Derby! When the dress arrived, the fabric on the bottom was a bit wrinkled so I immediately hung the dress in hopes that the wrinkles would "fall" out. While they did straighten out a little, I was still concerned that they would be noticeable. I wore it to Millionaires Row at Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Derby and not a wrinkle was there (or it couldn't be noticed). What I was most concerned about did not take away from the dress one bit! Because I am much shorter than the model, the dress was tea length on me, which I loved! I am so glad that I read the reviews, which helped me to decide on the 10 (I normally wear a 4/6) for this dress. It was so very comfortable and fit just right around the chest area...reminded me of the fit of my wedding dress! A must rent!

Beautiful dress but I didn't end up wearing it
This dress truly is beautiful. The fabric and color are lovely and the detailing at the bust is beautiful. However I thought it might be a little too traditional for a fun wedding in Barbados so I didn't end up wearing it. I'm usually a 6 but know that most reem acra dresses run very small, so I tried the 8. Even though the dress fit around my rib cage and chest (I could close the hook and eye closure and could pull the fabric together), I could not for the life of me get the zipper to budge past the seam at the waist. Even when I took the dress off and tried to zip it up, I still majorly struggled with the zipper. Might be easier if you have an extra pair of helping hands.

SIZE WAY UP
This is a gorgeous and high quality dress but it runs VERY small. I have a 24 inch waste and wear a 32C bra. I am usually a size 0-2, but the top of this dress fit like a glove in a size 6!

Fit perfectly through the waist but was WAY too small in the bust (I usually wear a size 6 but have a bust size of 30G). Couldn't even get it on.

Beautiful dress in a gorgeous color but returning for a larger size.
I am generally a size 4 in regular clothes but in dresses with a tight bodice, I generally size up to a 6 because I have a large rib cage. However, the 6 in this dress wouldn't come close to zipping. I am going to try to exchange for an 8 and hope that one will work! For reference, I also rented the black Kate Spade black "pave trim" dress and the size 4 in that fits perfectly for me.

Didn't end up wearing- DEFINITELY need to size up!
I usually wear a size 0 in just about every designer but I was glad that I read through the reviews because I ended up ordering a size 6 and it just barely fit. I would definitely recommend sizing up at least one size, if not two or more. The color is striking in the picture and it is beautiful in person, but I couldn't help but notice that in certain lighting, the fabric looked a bit worn. I don't think it's because the dress is actually worn out but just because of the fabric itself. Overall, I decided not to wear because there really was no wow factor besides the color of the dress. Fit was snug but not spectacular.
