I rented this for my son's graduation and it was just perfect!!! 

This dress is a beautiful color and fabric, I received tons of compliments all day, even from people who don't usually talk to me. The cut is unique without being unusual, the fabric is very lightweight so fantastic for summer. I felt that it made a great work dress even though it's a more formal fabric (I think it's chiffon), but it could also be dressed up beautifully for a wedding or other more formal event. It is a little sheer, so be careful with the undergarments you choose. It also wrinkles pretty easily, I steamed it thoroughly before wearing but in the photo taken at the end of the day you can see the wrinkles that formed from sitting at my desk. Also, before taking the picture of the back, my husband informed me that my bra was showing and he had to play with it quite a bit to get it to cover my bra for the photo. 
My measurements are 33-26-35 and the size 0 fit very nicely. There was some extra room so it would probably accommodate a slightly larger person, but there is no stretch. 
Overall a very pretty dress I loved wearing for a hot summer day

I wasn't sure the yellow would look good on my skin tone, but it was fine. I ended up wearing it with the sleeves just loose instead of with my arms put through the wrist holes because it was more flattering on my arms this way. I was able to wear a regular bra, though I did wear spanx. The skirt is more fitted than the bodice. After sitting through 2 hours of a reception, this fabric did not have creases across the lap/waist, so it still looked good in photos even after a long series of events.

This dress is all about the back, which is stunning! Loved the color, super flattering fit on me, minimal accessories, and comfortable to boot. Only downside is it really is complicated to get on properly. 

The dress is a really fun, beautiful color yellow. In some lights it looked more lemon and in others more marigold. The material is on the thin/sheer side - I wore nude spanks and a white, regular bra which worked out just fine. The back is open which I loved, but not to the point where a regular bra would show. The sleeves and "cape" effect added a nice touch to take the dress a little bit out of the ordinary. The dress runs slightly small; I am usually a 6/8 but am wearing a 10 here. The 8 fit okay, but clung a little more than I wanted around the hips/butt/thighs.

It’s a little difficult to get into the sleeves the first few times you try but the dress is versatile and very breathable.

I wore this for a bridal shower and got so many compliments.  I usually wear a 10-12 in dress, depending on the curvage.  This was modest but still sexy. 

I wore this for a family photo shoot. It was chilly, so I couldn't show off the lovely sleeves and back of the dress. I'll have to rent it again when it's warm. The color is amazing, the fabric is lovely and delicate. The lower ab area is unforgiving, so it's best to size up if you have anything to hide. The length is also good.
