This dress ended up being runner up for a gala event I had to attend. It was a little more bright and fun than I think I needed to be for the event but I REALLY loved the shape and the pops of color. If I could justify wearing it more I probably would have tried to buy it. 

Waist was a bit snug and hook and eye closure hard to manage on your own.   Phone a friend! 

Wore this beautiful dress as mother of the bride to a small beach wedding. Very elegant, fabric was lovely and high quality. I ordered a size 6 and 8, ended up wearing the 8. It's a little tight through the middle, but I'm 54 (lol). Also, it's nice and long, I'm 5'9" and it skimmed the floor in flats. I did need to safety pin to avoid too much cleavage. All in all, great dress! 

I kept the girls secure and I was fine.  I didn’t dance or move erratically so I had no issues.  

I normally wear a 0 but I could barely zip up the size 2 backup. I eventually got it on with a control top hose assist. Otherwise it was very nice fabric. A bit long on me even with heels.

The fit was great -make sure you have someone there that can help you get in it. Getting in to it is a little challenging.  I got so many compliments at the wedding from strangers and on social media.  It was a gorgeous dress.

When I rate fits just right I mean it. There was no wiggle room at the waist, recommend having someone to help zip you in as it’s placed on the side. That being said - the dress is fabulous, I got nonstop compliments, the color is gorg! 

I rented this in a bigger size like most reviewers said, and that was needed because I’m more pear and this dress doesn’t give on the bottom at all. It’s tough, because it’s the opposite on top and I felt like I was swimming in it. You can see the bunching from the back in my picture.

I had to do some faux tailoring and try to tuck it in the waist in order for it not to look bad, and of course had to adjust it throughout the night. 

That being I did love this dress, it felt expensive and beautiful and I got many compliments. If someone has a long torso, I could see it working better:

stunning dress, got so many compliments! the fabric has no give like everyone else says, but fit perfect with a shapewear bodysuit underneath. boob tape is also needed since it is so low cut, but not a problem since there is so much coverage otherwise. perfect length with a small heel. cannot recommend enough!!

I felt very expensive in this dress, the color is amazing and I got a lot of compliments! I would recommend sizing up at least one size. The dress is very tight in the middle and if you have  hips/curves you’ll want to size up to accommodate. I wore some sticky tape on top to help the dress stay put (no bra required) and also wore spanx. Very comfortable and easy to dance in. Would totally rent again and recommend! 

This dress was beautiful. This was a replacement to another dress that I didn’t like. I think it’s a newer design and so it didn’t have very many reviews. This dress has absolutely no give! And the way you put it on and the closure don’t help. In the end I chose this dress even though I had 3 others. But it was a serious spanx situation. You need boob tape too. But that’s not as big a deal. I usually wear a 6, this should have been an 8 to be comfortable. 

The color of this dress is everything!! I love the red/pink combo and the ruching under the bust is really flattering. The style has no stretch but I do think it runs true to size. There's a side zipper with hook & eyes above the zipper which were a little confusing to get on but overall a gorgeous style!
