Perfect little dress to dress up or dress down, loved it
Loose fit but true to size, good length (I'm 5'2") and easy to dress up with jewelry and heels or more casual with sandals. Wore it on vacation in Barcelona.

Best way to make a milestone birthday feel young and free - Valentino + bold colored mini!
This dress is gorgeously made and a perfect shade of red. It made me feel young and free for my 40 birthday celebration with my husband. The fit is loose and flowy but the length made it feel a bit sexy and fun (I am 5'6"). Highly recommend this style.

Lots of compliments in Red!
The color of this dress was very eye-catching! I rented this for a rehearsal dinner where i wasnt sure of how formal the event would be, the shift silhouette made it casual but i elevated the look with heels and jewlery. This dress is great for petite girls, if i were any taller it may have been too short.

Amazing color, easy to wear, short sassy number!
I wore this dress twice and got so many compliments. It's very short but very loose. The color is gorgeous. I wore it in Vegas and 3 random people in the casino stopped me to comment what a great dress it is. Best part is that it's suuuuuper comfortable. Highly highly recommend if you want to feature your legs.

Versatile and fun!
Just perfect for a summer wedding! I never wear red but it was just the right shade to make me still feel comfortable. A little bit short on me (I'm 5'9") but for a wedding/party I think it is a completely appropriate length. Would recommend!!

Flirty and Fabulous
Beautiful cherry red, covered by ruffles on three sides. At 5'7" it was quite a bit above the knee which makes it flattering if you like to show some leg. It is otherwise bell shaped and not at all fitted. It swings, the fabric is thick, lovely with a slick but not shiny feel. The ruffles are seamed with a hint of black. I wore with barely grey / silver hose and black and white animal heels. Tons of compliments. Definitely rent! Love!!

Really like the style and fabric of the dress! Downside is it can crease fairly easily but I spent the whole day walking and driving so that's somewhat expected. Would definitely rent again

Great Shift Party Dress!
This dress was a fun, flirty dress for a birthday party! The fabric flows really well but I do recommend wearing spandex underneath for a smoother shape. I'm 5'8", wore a size 38, and it was just the right length- not too short! I wore it with knee high boots and was comfortable all night. Definitely recommend, it's a fun dress! :)

I'm not usually a fan of ruffles, but Red Valentino gets it right with this perfect red dress! I love how comfortable this dress is without losing its shape and the ruffles definitely help with that! This dress is comfortable throughout and I would recommend to size down for this one. This dress is a bit short for my 5'6 frame, so I would keep that in mind if you are taller. Can't wait to wear this dress to my next event!

Christmas party!
I wore this to my family's annual Christmas party. I received many compliments. It was so airy and flowy- it made me look thinner (2 separate people asked if I lost weight) probably because it has an oversized look to it. Definitely long enough to wear as a shirt dress, however I have a 1 year old and had to be able to move around after her so I paired it with black leggings and boots.

Fun and Flirty
It's short so if you're trying to show off your legs this dress is for you. However it goes so high on your chest that it feels pretty conservative. The only problem I had was picking out jewelry for the neckline but ended up going with a long gold necklace.

Gorgeous color - hangs beautifully
I don't know whether it was the rich color or how the fabric just hung so perfectly, but I got so many compliments on this dress. I wore it to a conference, and I knew from reviews and photos it ran short, so I ordered several sizes up to make sure the length was okay. It's very drapey, but not "bag like" or anything. I think because the fabric is pretty thick, it keeps it from seeming like that. Would buy it, much less order it again.

Pretty dress but very large in fit.
This is a very pretty dress and the length is perfect (not too short to be uncomfortable but just short enough to be flirty). My problem was that it was really big in the size I normally wear (especially in the underarms). I would recommend sizing down.

Good friend's wedding
I am almost 8 months pregnant and this was a great dress for fitting a bump. I am only 5'2", so the length worked for me, even with my bump, but it might have been a little too short for someone taller.

i'm typically a 4 and got the Italian size 38 and still had plenty of room. love the color the dress. it's a beautiful red. i did have trble finding undergarments that worked because everything shows in this dress! i liked the length because i'm short so it was mini on me. the ruffles were a great addition.

Fun details and lots of compliments
I am post-partum but wearing a 2/4 and am bustier than usual and the 38 fit well. I am short and wore it with very tall heels to accentuate that it was a mini-dress but I was hoping it would be a little shorter. Fit is boxy so worked well for me in my post-partum state! Color is a great red, bright but not obnoxious and perfect for the Christmas party that I wore it to.

Didn't wear because it was huge and I ordered 2 sizes down
I'm usually a size 8-10 but after reading all the reviews about this fitting so big I sized down to a 6 and it was floating on me. It did absolutely nothing but hang on me with an athletic build 5'6 155lbs 36d. I wouldn't rent again! Obviously personal preference because the dress is cute just not on me!

I honestly don't even think the 00 would have looked nice. It was so oversized I felt like I was in oversized designer pjs. The only pro for me was it was the perfect length for my height.
