It showed the girls a little bit and I had to use tape to assist. I loved this dress and the look!

I enjoyed dancing the night away at my friend's wedding! This was a fun dress to wear! 

The fabric looks even more beautiful in person. However, the neckline is quite low, or the straps might have been stretched out. It was fine while standing, but when sitting, it became too revealing, so I ended up pairing it with a sweater.

Since I have a larger stomach but a slim figure, it can sometimes give the appearance of being pregnant (thanks, genetics!). I tend to opt for fit-and-flare designs that help conceal my stomach. 

The fabric was gorgeous, the metallic colored threads gave the dress the right amount of Sparkle fory birthday dinner and office holiday party! Loved this dress, though if you're busty be warned, the girls will wanna party too! Lol but overall, great dress.

I wore this to an outdoor summer wedding - I wore a size medium and am usually a 10 with a fairly hourglass figure. I appreciated the fact that the bottom pleated skirt was good at 'hiding' my thighs/butt. Bust fit great (I'm around a size 36/38 D). The medium was just a *smidge* tight but the L was too big. The straps cut a bit into my shoulders which was my only 'complaint'. Otherwise, great dress and would get it again! 

I wore this to a fundraising gala I had to work. If you have boobs, be prepared to show them. The straps were a little too long so I had to pin them up for my short upper body. I got lots of compliments and felt good all night. 

I had to see the straps up at least 2 inches. This is really designed for large chests or will need strap shortening. I think people with A cups will have a lot of extra fabric on the sides too. 
Besides that: comfortable, not itchy (and I’m sensitive), and I stood out amongst mainly black dresses.
I had to convince myself to use this pic since my face is doing something strange. But like the transparency it shows. 

This dress fit perfectly. Didn’t need a bra, was comfortable all night. 

This was the perfect dress for a wedding in New Orleans. It moves great, it looks great and it’s super comfortable. I did have to shorten the straps a little bit, but I’m quite small chested, so If you have a bigger bust, should fit you perfect. I wore a small and am a 32B (34inch) 27inch waist and 40 inch hips. 

This dress is a showstopper to be sure, but I had to tie up the straps to ensure my chest didn’t fall completely out while sitting. I also used a fair amount of boob tape to keep everything put away properly. 
As other reviews noted, there was a bit of “puckering” to the fabric right below the zipper, seemingly caused by the lining being tighter than the outer skirt, causing it to bunch up, maybe?
I’m unsure of the cause but it wasn’t a total dealbreaker. 
I had told myself that if I loved it I would purchase it to keep in my closet for future events but I didn’t love it quite enough to keep it forever.
Still, it’s a beautiful dress!

This was a great dress for NYE where I went to a disco themed party. I’m smaller chested so the low cut looked great but I added some fashion tape just to keep it secure. A little tight to zip, but the clasp helped. 

I loved the colors on this dress- it was like a sparkle circus, perfect for NYE. Note: no black, only navy blue, so the shoes I had planned changed to a mixed media brown heel with some shine. I think I could have sized down. I’m a D cup, went without a bra, but the dress was pretty large in the chest and even fabric tape didn’t really hold everything in place, there was still some gaping of extra fabric. Overall though cool 70s vibe!

I wore this for my company’s big winter bash and got a ton of compliments! It’s very comfortable but I had to size up so the straps were very loose and they aren’t adjustable. I tucked them under in the back and put a few stitches in to hold them (that could easily be removed), which solved the problem. I went with stick-on cups since it’s pretty low in the front. Skirt is flowy and a good length even if you’re petite like me. 

Wore it for a wedding. Loved the dress, maybe a smidge too tight but a large would have been too big I think. 

Very comfortable, low cut but fit me just right! 

Unfortunately, this did not work for my occasion but I would rent again.

I’m 5’7”, 135, 36b-ish, 29 in waist.
I’m a pretty straight-figured person, not a lot of curve wide ribs and small breasts so I tend to go for low cut dresses with a fit n’ flare shape to give me the illusion of curves. ;) This dress his the mark! I am in love with it. I got so many compliments on this. 
The stock photos from the listing don’t do this dress justice. I chose this one based on all of the reviews where everyone looks just gorgeous in it and I’m glad that I did. 
It was pretty snug in the torso, but not too snug. Have just the right amount of cleavage for me to feel sexy but the flare made me feel really cute. I normally go for shorter dresses or maxi dresses, not usually a midi or knee length. This was actually a really great length, though. I felt comfortable and cute all night. 

Super flirty and festive for a party! Medium fit, even 4 1/2 months pregnant (154lbs and 36DD). Material isn't the most pleasing on the skin if it starts rubbing the wrong way, but did not find it to be an issue throughout the night. Underskirt is shorter than over skirt, which allows for the over skirt to swing so much more. Did find it to bunch in the back a little, but I think that was because of my bump! Would love to rent again and again. 

The dress is more stunning in person than online.
Unfortunately I was not able to wear the dress because it did this weird bump in the back like the dress was shrunk or repaired and the material was sewn to the zipper for more support but not flattering at all. 

I rented this dress for pride month, and ended up wearing it to my friend's rainbow-themed baby shower. It was so comfortable, and fit true to size. It was lightweight, romantic, and flowy. Perfect for a summer party! 

Decided not to wear but it was very comfortable. Could foresee needing tape to keep straps up since I have narrow shoulders. It plunged but I didn't need a bra. Fun and flattering. 

First of all it's even more stunning in person. The colors are electric and I got tons of compliments all night!
Here's my experience with the fit::
I am 5 ft so the xs was the best fit, BUT the waist is tight and I needed shape wear to smooth it out. The straps were a little long, but maybe that's because I'm pretty up top. I kept the girls in place with a sticky bra and I liked the way the plunge looked.  
I highly recommend this dress!

Loved this dress. Got lots of compliments on it.  It's super low cut so plan accordingly- it does not work with a strapless bra so you'll either need to go braless or go with the sticky "chicken cutlets" like I did. I wore it to a drag show engagement party and it was perfect! 

The dress was TTS and I was able to wear it with a strapless bra, which was good because it is a plunging neckline.  It was a very comfortable fit, fully lined and flattering.  I got compliments all night!

Got so many compliments on this dress. It was definitely brighter than expected in color (almost Mardi Gras colors) and I was worried it would be too loud but it ended up being a very fun and flattering dress. I did feel a little bustier than I'm normally comfortable with when bending over or dancing but I was able to go without a bra.  For reference I am 5'5, 125 lbs and wore an XS. Would recommend!

Wore this for a rehearsal dinner and it's super cool and unique! I honestly would have bought it, but unfortunately there was a very strange bunching in the back where the lining is attached to the outer dress by the zipper. It kind of looked like the dress was tucked into my underwear all night. It's a beautiful dress but maybe I just got a flawed one. Only wore for a dinner, so I was sitting most of the time, but it was a bit of a bummer. 

This dress was so cute and fun, I got lots of compliments. However, I have a pretty small chest (32B) and the top was a bit too big. I inserted pads but that wasn't enough. I needed clothing tape which I didn't have. The straps were a little loose too. I had to sit with incredible posture so as to not let the top bag out and reveal what was underneath! I paired it with a leather jacket and it looked very cute.

A fun party dress with sparkle that is just sexy enough - I'm a size 8 and rented a M which was a perfect fit. I was able to go bra-less with pasties & felt comfortable all night 

Obsessed with this dress. The colors are better in real life. The straps were a little itchy and dug into my shoulders but it was worth it. So many compliments 

Dress fit fine, but the color was brighter than pic & seam was done incorrectly causing it to bunch.

This was perfect for a glitzy party, as others have said the straps run a little bit loose. The most annoying thing was that it does this weird bunching thing on your butt once you have it on almost as if the liner is caught up underneath but it wasn't. I wore a jacket with it so it wasn't quite as noticeable. 

Great fit but straps could have been a bit more snug. Had to pin them but otherwise great fit and numerous compliments.

As soon as I got this rental I was so excited because the colors are much more vibrant in person than the photos portray. But unfortunately the cut (neckline & length) just wasn't my style. Didn't end up wearing. 

I rented this for a company holiday party, and while I didn't end up wearing it due to the low v neck being a tad too low for the event, it was very comfortable and cute! Would rent again for a non work related event.

I'm petite and I have a short torso. The dress fit but the straps were way too long & not adjustable. I had to safety pin them to fit and throughout the night had to keep adjusting. Great dress overall, but wish there was sizing variety that took body length into account. Or even had adjustable straps.
