I got a ton of compliments on this dress. Runs a bit snug in hips and bust. 

Unfortunately the strap of this dress tore the minute I sat down in the cab and I had to pin it for the evening. it's an adorable dress, but does not do anything for you if you're small busted like me! This dress looks like it's black in the web photo, but is closer to navy so keep that in mind. 

I loved this dress. I had to order a size up from my usual size and it was maybe a touch big but still totally fine, so runs somewhere between true to size and a little bit small. Great for ladies with strong shoulders, really shows them off. 


I'm torn on how to review this dress.  It is a beautiful dress and I love the print.  It photographs really well and if it cost less to rent, I'd be tempted to rent it again for family pics.  Be warned that it's long.  I'm 5'6" and it hit right below my knee - wish it was a little bit shorter.  I'm a size 6 and wore a 42 - worked fine, but was a little big and I wish I had sized down for my back up.  The gathering at the waist is very pretty as well as flattering.  I rented it for a casual cocktail party, and ended up wearing another dress as I didn't think this dress was formal enough for my event.  Didn't want this dress to go to waste though so I wore it to a much more casual event the day before.

Here's the downside.  I think $175 is way too much to spend to rent a dress for a very casual event, and you could buy a dress for that price or less.  It's absolutely a beautiful dress, but I don't think it's worth the rental price.  In my case, I rented another $175 dress for a black tie event and got this for $25 as my back up.  Thankfully, it was a busy event week and I was always to wear both, but I doubt I'd ever pay $175 to rent this one on its own.

This is a very pretty dress. The strange thing about it for me was that the liner was very tight but you couldn't tell because the exterior fabric was form fitting but loose. I didn't end up wearing because my back up dress was just more comfortable.
