I wore this to my husband's work party, and it was the perfect level of interesting and modest while still being fun. I'm 5'5", 135 lbs. and I feel the length and fit was perfect for me. The arms were a smidge tight but I could definitely still dance. The lace detailing was nice and breathable. Overall, would consider buying & will rent again!

The material is pretty comfy, by the end of the night I was really thankful that the long sleeves had some built in ventilation. The shape of the bodice was so flattering! 

Received many compliments and ended up buying, because I loved it so much

Nice fit. A little tight for arm movement but other than that fit great! 

Little restrictive in the arms but other than that the dress was perfect. 

Unique dress, great fit. Wore to winter wedding in Georgia. Somewhat restrictive to arm motion (dancing) but otherwise fabulous.

I found this dress to be perfect for a winter wedding.  The fit was true to size, as I usually wear a 2 and that was the size that fit the best.  The only drawbacks were that the sleeves were a bit long (so I tucked them in-unnoticeable) and the top was a little baggy on me due to having a super small chest.  It was great not having to wear a bra though!  The colors in this dress are way prettier than the website photos show...see my close up for more details.  I felt sexy and classy in this little cocktail dress.  The length was short without being too revealing and the style of the dress hugged my frame in the right ways.  I paired this one with some small earrings, sheer black hosiery, and some super cute deep purple, open middle heels.  I wish my phone camera worked properly...only my selfie one takes photos these days.  Believe me when I say that this dress gets noticed and I received multiple compliments on the design.  

I liked this dress a lot! It was comfortable, fit well and was perfect for the winter time and the party I went to. I will say I probably should've gone with a 0 but the 2 fit me just fine as well. I got many compliments throughout the evening. It's easy to wear and cute and flirty at the same time.

I rented this for my boyfriends holiday and while it fit the occasion, I felt it a teeny bit dated in style , yet gorgeous, the fit was great and I received compliments from people which I wouldn't expect from which is definitely a great sign. When I sat for dinner, it did ride up some, but otherwise a great look with booties and a leather jacket. 

Loved the lace! The color and cut was great for a formal, winter event. I would rent again.

This dress is pretty short but I think the sleeves and neckline make it more modest. Got tons of compliments, but my only complaint is feeling restricted in the arms, but I tend to carry more weight there anyway!

The length and fit was great.  Not a very stretchy material.  Fit was true to size. 

I rented the 4 and the 6 and ended up wearing the 4 because the sleeve length and waist were too big/long in the 6. I'm 5'2" and the length was perfect. Was a little tight across the chest. I'm a 34c. The lace doesn't give much. Received so many compliments on this dress! Perfect mix of stylish and sexy, yet classy. 

This dress was a bit of a risk for me but I ended up loving it! Usually mini dresses are too short on me but this one felt super comfortable especially with the long sleeves. Got so many compliments! Perfect for early spring or fall 

fit was good, dress is short so hard time bending over without mooning anyone.
But got so many compliments and I Loved it! Usually wear size 6-8 but this runs smaller and tight around the waist.

I wore this dress out on a date to the theater with my husband and a baby shower. I love when I get to wear a rental to more than one event! I rented this dress for these events specifically, but it was not my number one choice. Most of the dresses I wanted were not available. This dress was very appropriate for the events and for the weather. It is also a great work dress that can easily go from day to night. The dress is definitely more purple than it looks in pictures. I received some compliments, but definitely not the amount I usually get for a rental. It was fine. 

I loved this dress! It's beautiful, comfortable, and perfect for a fall or winter formal event!

I wore this to the Breeder's Cup and it was the perfect dress for a formal daytime activity - I even accidentally matched the event colors so it really was almost too perfect. No fit issues at all. Loved this dress!

I found this to fit true to size. I am smaller up top with wider hips and thighs. This dress had no stretch so I decided to go with a size 6 (my pants size). The 6 fit perfectly! I got a lot of compliments. Loved it!! 

I'm so excited to wear this dress for NYE. The 2 fit perfectly and I can't get over how beautiful this dress is in person. I love the sleeves and the length makes it not as conservative since it's a bit short. 

I ended up buying this because I love the design, color combo and fit. I am 5'7", 140-145lbs, 36B bust, 28" waist, 36" hips. It was fitted all around but had a little more room below the waist than above. Sitting down, the skirt moves up quite a bit. I wore hosiery so not revealing. I will wear this year-round with/without hosiery, with knee or ankle boots, and can wear with heels. Will get use out of this dress!

Very unique with the lace embroidery and the color combination was perfect for a fall/winter event. I read the reviews and sized up to be safe. The 6 fit me perfectly, but there is not a lot of give so someone with a larger chest may need to go 2 sizes up.

Was a great fall dress. Beautiful colors and fit!!! 

I'm a pretty solid 6 & this dress fit me perfectly. As others have described the shoulders / top of the sleeves were a little awkward but nothing that bothered me throughout the evening. I wore this out to a nice dinner & drinks for Friendsgiving & received a ton of compliments! The colors in the dress are really pretty & perfect for late fall. 

I loved this dress. I'm usually between a 0 or 2, in both petites and regular, though I usually aim for petites because of my height (5'3"). This dress fit like a glove. I loved the sheer arms parts. The slip is sewn into the dress, so no issues with either that or the skirt riding up. I wore this with the nu bra. The dress was comfortable, even after eating. The shoulders and underarms are on the tighter side, so I wasn't able to get my arms up as high as I normally do when dancing, but it did not hinder me from having a great time. I was sad to send this dress back. 

So I got the 8 and the 10 and the smaller size still fit and definitely was a little shorter and made my waist look smaller. The fabric was a little stiff in the sleeves and chest so I almost wore the 10 just for a more comfortable fit. Loved the dress though and the colors are amazing for a fall wedding! 

I usually wear a true 4 but had to wear the 6. The length was fine but I could hardly lift my arms up - the sleeves were restricting. But I received a ton of compliments and it was great for a fall wedding!

Loved this dress. I found myself going with my larger backup size due to the dress being pretty tight and unforgiving in the chest area. I usually run anywhere from an 8-12 depending on make. All in all, it was a great rental and I got so many compliments by complete strangers. It was perfect for this gorgeous fall wedding.

I ordered a 4 and 6 and ended up wearing the 6. I'm petite/short so the sleeves were a bit long but I tucked them under and it was perfect. The detail was gorgeous and it was a comfortable dress. Really pretty fall colors. 

It's a little stiff if you are an active dancer. 

Fit is like a dream. I honestly could have lived in this dress. The flowers a whimsical and girly but the cut and fit of the dress and colors scream all woman to me. Wore it to an annual fundraiser in a generally drafty venue but I felt comfortable temperature-wise in this dress while not sacrificing a single iota of style. Would buy this dress to keep in a heart beat. True to size and no one else out of hundreds in the room was wearing anything like it.

Loved this dress! The fit was adorable. Wished it was a tiny bit longer but it was still long enough to be office party appropriate.

I loved this dress. I am a size 6 and rented the 4 and 6. The 4 fit good in the body but the sleeves were too tight. The 6 was just right. I was able to move around and shower the bride to be! The color was also really pretty like an eggplant color. It was great overall. 

Dress was lovely. The lace is beautiful and elegant, and with long sleaves and a shorter hemline, this dress is elegant and classy. I rented an 8 and a 10. I wore the 10 because it gave me more room in the arms - it was New Years Eve and I knew I would want to dance unreatricted. The 8 fit me like a glove in the body and looked beautiful, but the sleves were too restrictive. I was cery comfy in the 10. The material is well crafted, does not have much stretch to it, but runs true to size. I wore it with tights and over the knee flat boots. I think it was a big hit! 

Loved the fit. Very forgiving too! I was super bloated this day. Fabric has no stretch and it pretty true to size. 

 The fit was good in my waist and hips. I have broad shoulders which made it tight across my chest and arms. I stuck with my normal size and you couldn’t tell it was tight. 

The fabric doesn't stretch so I needed to go a size up to ensure I had a full range of motion. It was a great dress for a cocktail party and I got a ton of compliments! 

Wore this to a cocktail attire company holiday party and it was perfect. It is fitted and has almost no give, so be cautious when picking your size. I rented the four, with my backup size being a six. Either would have worked, but I went with the four for a more fitted look. Sorry the picture does not really do the dress justice, we got carried away and forgot to take pictures!
