Great for a summer wedding or derby party! The sequins is a little itchy, other than that it’s a vibrant and beautiful dress ⭐️

Zipper was hard to zip on the small so I wore medium. I’m usually a small/size 4. Dress fit beautifully. Many compliments. Skirt/slip underneath is much shorter than the dress but not bothersome 

This dress is AMAZING! Comfy, looked great on my postpartum body, and FUN! Most importantly it made me FEEL GOOD as someone struggling with body image post baby. I wanted to buy it. It even has pockets! I got a ton of compliments and loved it so much. Was great for the black tie wedding reception. 

Got so many compliments on this dress for a wedding, fits perfectly and true too size and even has pockets which was an added bonus!

This dress brings the celebration with it. The fitted bodice offers comfortable structure, while the flowing maxi skirt moves effortlessly, letting the sequins catch the light in a way that feels festive but still refined. The floral pattern softens the shimmer, keeping it elegant rather than flashy, and makes it perfect for daytime celebrations that call for a little sparkle. It’s flattering, joyful, and unmistakably special—the kind of dress that shines without stealing the moment.

This dress is stunning the pockets were a great addition! I got so many compliments and even one from the bride!!!  

This dress was even more stunning in person! I loved the opalescent quality of the sequins. I received so many compliments.

My one critique is that the pockets look a little odd because of the nude lining of the dress - two different women approached me because they thought my dress was unzipped when they saw me from the side! I didn’t mind too much but if that would bother you, it’s something to consider.

I nearly didn’t order this dress because of the number of comments complaining about it scratching their arms. I’m so glad I disregarded that - the sequins didn’t scratch my arms at all. I don’t know how to put this but if your arms don’t always touch your sides, you shouldn’t have an issue. 

10/10 loved this dress so much. Felt so confident and got tons of compliments. It photographs beautifully and it’s easy to accessorize. 

Pros: The straps are adjustable, the fabric is very high quality, it has pockets. Did not need to wear a bra. 

Con: a little scratchy under the armpits but beauty is pain 

I wore this for a black tie wedding on the Amalfi coast and it definitely matched the villa princess castle energy. I’m 5’6” and thought the Long was perfect with my tall heels, but wondered if the M would’ve been more comfortable around my bust (it felt a bit snug). As others have mentioned, the sparkles can irritate your arms a bit, but I thought it was manageable/very tolerable. Beauty is pain, Princess! No, but really, this dress was perfect, I got so many compliments, go ‘head girl, rent it etc  

I got compliments on my dress all night long! It was a bit short for me at 5’4 so if you are taller this might not be the dress for you.

This dress is a showstopper! Runs on the small side - I’m almost always a Medium but needed the Large. The straps are adjustable so I was able to make them tight enough to not fall off my shoulder.

Two things I’d caution on:
1. Because it has pockets, and the inside of the pockets doesn’t have sequins, in photos it can look like a slit in the dress. Easy fix - in the full-length photo attached you can see where I used the edit feature in Google Photos to hide the pocket.

2. The wedding I wore it to had an outdoor ceremony - this dress SPARKLES in the sun! Gorgeous, but very reflective!

Overall: HIGHLY recommend! I literally got compliments alllll night!

I got SO MANY compliments on this dress. It fit perfectly (was not floor length on me, but that was perfect for walking the mile from ceremony to reception). Paired it with nude wedges. I didn’t have to wear a bra (and I’m at DD/E) and the straps are adjustable. The only issue was the design flaw noted by others: the inside of the pockets were nude colored so looked like a rip. 

The dress fit me perfectly. I do have a smaller bust, which the dress was great for, but it would be a bit small on those with larger busts. The liner inside the dress was also a bit short on me, but the dress is not super see through and I still felt comfortable in it. The was the perfect length in a small long and I received tons of compliments on it all evening. It was also incredibly comfortable and the sequins did not bother my arms much at all! I really felt so confident, like a princess, in it… highly recommend renting this one. :)

Dress was great! I wore the X large rather than the Large for comfort. The event was a black tie seated dinner and auction. The liner is about knee length, which worked well. It’s nice that the straps are adjustable. 

I wore this to a formal spring wedding and felt perfectly on brand. This dress definitely stands out. I got so many compliments and felt so beautiful! It actually has a lot of give/stretch in the bodice so sitting and dancing were no problem! I love this dress! 

I loved this dress. It was form fitting without being too tight and the pockets are sooo great! The sequins near the underarms started being a little uncomfortable at the end of the night but not unbearable. I got compliments all night! 

The sequins are slightly uncomfortable under the arms but this dress fits like a glove 

I have never received so many compliments in my life while wearing this dress. Felt beautiful in it!

Oh my goodness sakes, this dress is absolutely STUNNING!!! I mean I cannot talk about it enough!  I felt so beautiful in it - I wish I could buy it - if it just sat in my closet it would make me happy!

I am usually a size 12, but 14 in dresses and jackets.  This dress fit like a dream.  My husband had to help zip it up, but it was only because of that seam from the bottom to top.  It wa snug enough I didn't have to wear a bra and I pushed the ladies down a bit so I wasn't spilling out.  The length was perfect with high heels, but even with shorter heels it looks good with a little drag.  I received TONS of compliments on the dress and how I looked and I mean TONS.  Every single person I spoke to at the gala mentioned the dress and I had women coming up to me to compliment.  I also had a lot of compliments and "hearts" on instagram when I shared it.  One of my girlfriends is going to purchase it just from my pics.  I'm telling you - it's so gorgeous!

On my body type the pockets did show a little, but I could care less - it was a definite show stopper!  GET THE DRESS!

I won “Best Dressed” at the wedding, and could not take two steps without someone commenting on my dress! 

It fits like a glove and doesn’t stretch, so go with your regular size and one up. I am typically a size 10/L and the L fit exactly right. 

This dress was beautiful! It did run small, and I sized up to a large. My only issue with sizing of the large was that the pockets did flair out a bit. 

It was such a fun dress - easy for dancing too!

Leaving this review for my fellow large chested girlies. I’m a size 14/16, 36DDD and this fit like a glove. You can’t wear a bra with this, but the fit was perfect and this dress had plenty of support (which is RARE). If I had been any larger it wouldn’t have fit, any smaller, it wouldn’t have been enough support. 

Fortunately, it was just right and I got a TON of compliments. I was definitely one of the best dressed people there. 10/10

This dress was everything I hoped it would be. It was fancy and flattering. It was just a little tight, and the sequins rubbed my arms a little by the end of the night, but I highly recommend this dress nonetheless! I received lots of compliments and felt beautiful all night. If you're on the cusp of sizes, I recommend sizing up.

Stunning details and perfect for a floral garden wedding. I’m 5'9" and sized up to a Large for extra length and comfort for dancing (the Medium fit too). I skipped taller heels and went with one inch sandal heel so the dress grazed the floor.

I got so many compliments on this dress. It is very sparkly in person. The one thing that surprised me was it’s a mini dress liner underneath and then the long sequined layer over top. The outer layer is pretty thick so you couldn’t really see through it much. Overall I loved this dress! 

This dress fit like a glove!! (The medium was better than the small for me). It was very comfortable but formal at the same time. I’m only 5’2 so I was worried about it being too long but it was the perfect length with 2 inch heels. The detail of the beading was so pretty and I got lots of compliments! The pockets were a nice, fun bonus. I also wore a black faux fur jacket when the sun went down and it got a little chilly. I would definitely recommend this dress!

I want to buy this dress. It was beyond beautiful. The colors and fit were amazing!

5’6”, 145lb, 36D. Wore a size M and it fit perfectly. So comfortable with the adjustable straps. I didn’t adjust or tug once the entire evening. Sequins under the arms were not an issue at all as some reviews have said. Countless compliments. Frankly heartbroken to be returning her. 

Endless compliments on this one! It was snugger in the bust than I planned so just wore silicone covers, but everything stayed put. Worth noting that the underlining is actually a short, nude dress, so I kept having to confirm it didn’t wise up!

If you want to wow everyone, wear this. And it has pockets!! 

Rented this dress for a formal wedding and got stopped a LOT for compliments! The fit was great! The straps were adjustable which was wonderful because there weren’t any stretch to the material. My only complaint is that my under arms rubbed the sequins and were raw by the end of the night

Slightly large on top despite a large bust and could’ve used a medium but still fit :) sooooo many compliments. Perfect for black tie wedding 

Got so many compliments! Perfect for a summer wedding or event! 

Absolutely gorgeous pattern. Fit perfectly! Was generally very comfortable 

I love the way this fit, but it was too showy for the event I had to go to. 

As expected the sparkles can catch on things and will probably scrape your arms a bit but totally worth it!

Absolutely beautiful dress. A bit snug but overall very comfy, easy to dance in. And so many compliments. I felt like a star!

Only complaint was the pockets- they looked like a tear in the fabric! Otherwise perfectly sparkly for a black tie affair 

I wore this to the Grammys and got so many compliments - loved the high quality multi colored and iridescent sequin flowers and it fit well. The only thing is the lining (which is nice and soft and thick where it is, is pretty short which I think is on purpose to give it that sheer look on the legs which looks great but when sitting, my thighs were right on the backs of the sequins which wasn't very comfy when it wasn't a cushioned seat or for a long time. That's the only thing and I'm only saying it to manage expectations for anyone who plans on wearing this gorgeous gown - not unbearable but if you'll be sitting for a long time on uncushioned seats, be prepared :)

4 stars because the under lining only goes down to the top of the knees vs all the way down. Great for shorter girls, I'm 5'3 and the photo is with no shoes on. also POCKETS!!!!!didn't know it had them - great surprise!

I loved the fit on the dress but the pockets massively gaped and ruined the line of the dress. Also the sparkles were a bit too sparkly. But loved the fit. 

Thought it was really nice but I would have been overdressed. Not sure if it's just me but I also think it made me look shorter than I am.

I really liked this dress! I chose another option because it was very sparkly for the event. Some of the sequins are irreverent in a way that can read light purple, fyi, which made it playful vs overly formal, though is black tie appropriate for sure.

I would rent again and size up due to personal preference/comfort/feel it would be more belly flattering on me. Though the MR could zip with shape wear.

I would def consider this!! It’s really high quality in person. 

I’m 5’4” and it was pretty long on me even with heels

I got soooo many compliments on this dress. It fit like a glove and I felt very secure. Love love love the pockets. BUT beware: very !!!!!! itchy. my under arms are all scratched up but if you’re willing to put up with a little pain, definitely rent! 

Look at the size guide. I’m usually a 14 and wore the XXL, I could have fit into the XL if necessary. The XXL was shorter though, went to my ankles. XL was floor length. Slip only goes down to your knees so it was good for a summer wedding. Stunning dress, so many compliments!
