This wasn't my first option for a winter's party night in Vegas. But the other colorful prints more appropriate for winter were already taken. I took a chance and I don't regret it.

FIT: 
I'm 33-26-34. I usually wear anything from size 0 to size 4. I rented the 2, with 4 as a backup. The 2 fit well. I could have gone down a size to have it look more sexy and form fitting. But I didn't mind not having to suck it in all night.

DRESS: 
*As everyone says, the colors as so much more gorgeous in real life. I'm neutral toned with black hair and hazel/green eyes, and this did wonders for my coloring. 
*As you can see from my measurements, I'm virtually curveless. Thankfully, the form with it's piping, draping and diagonal neckline really gave me curves!!! Gorgeous! 
*I have broad shoulders--so the hanging shoulder looked great on me. HOWEVER, be aware that the higher shoulder actually sits more naturally on TOP of your shoulder. If you want to wear it like to model, you will have to keep pulling it down and it will pucker under your shoulder.
*The pencil hit mid-thigh on me. So the lower zipper was a god-sent essential for general mobility. :)

THIS RENTAL: 
*It smelled funky!!! Like it had been sitting in musty storage for a very long time. I have no idea what it's actually from, but I was blown away by the stench on both dresses immediately upon opening up the plastic covering. Airing it out and spraying perfume on myself helped with the smell. 
*There were so many little tears and fraying along the seams of the delicate silk on both dresses. Fortunately, this is something you could only see upon close examination.

I loved this dress! I've never gotten so many compliments in one night! It was perfectly tight while I was standing but the bottom of the skirt was too tight to sit down or walk anywhere far. Luckily there's a little zipper down there to help with that. I also tucked the litte brown strap down under my arm... Not my fave part. The colors are really bright and the fabric was silkyish and smooth. Love it!

I LOVED this dress. It is comfortable and very flattering. Like the Sarah's review, I found the loose sleeve to be a little big but it didn't bother me too much. I usually wear a size 4 but it was far too big - the 2 fit me perfectly.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous pattern in person!  Very delicate with two zippers.

However, the right sleeve/strap was extremely baggy and just not flattering so I ended up just tucking it into the dress with just the chain on the right.  Nobody could tell. 

I loved this dress. It's hard to tell, but there's a subtle accent piping (I'm not sure of the correct term) on the side that really flatters your figure and brings the rouching together.

I think this dress is for someone who has more curves and a bigger chest than I do! It was difficult for me to fill out the dress, even though it technically "fit."  

I'm just pointing out that the brown strap is leather and chain, so it's not as innocently sexy of a dress as it first comes off to be.  I wouldn't have worn it to a wedding. It seemed a little more appropriate for going out to a party or a girls night.

Also, I wasn't a fan of the strip of fabric that hung off the side. It seemed to not ever look right and was really baggy, but you can kind of suck it into the dress and no one will notice.  

It was incredibly soft and comfortable. The material was light and almost slinky. Like I said, I wouldn't wear it to a wedding. It seemed to sexy for that.
