This is a pretty dress. Wouldn't say it's a showstopper, per se, but it'll fit into a lot of wedding venues or dress codes, I think. I went up a size from normal since I was 12w pregnant. It was snug, but I think a 10 would fit me normally. The straps were a touch long on me so they kept sliding off my shoulders, but that's a normal problem for me. Pretty! 

I wear a 34 C and wore my usual size 2. The top was a touch snug but not uncomfortable. The body fit perfectly, no gaps in back. It was perfect for 90 degree humid outdoor weather. Prettier in person than pictured. 

This dress was so pretty in person. I ordered a 0 & 2 both fit great I chose to wear the 0 just for a more fitted look. I received a lot of compliments while wearing this dress. The only complaint about this dress is that the straps are a little irritating and rubs your skin. 

This dress was a bit snug in the middle / thighs but still looked really cute and is a fun color / pattern. I liked the length and the fabric was lighter so good for an outdoor summer wedding.

Straps were a tiny bit long but overall the fit was great. Way more flattering on than I expected. Comfy and easy to dance in. I’ll definitely be renting it again for another event. Might even think about buying it 

Tight in the hips & unadjustable straps hurt shoulders 

Wore this to a wedding, it was cute and fit well besides the straps were not adjustable, so it slid down a little from time to time. Could’ve probably fixed it with a safety pin but it wasn’t terrible. Overall I liked the dress a lot!

Wore for a welcome drinks during a wedding weekend and thankful it wasn’t for the actual wedding! Got stuck in an Uber for 30 minutes and was beyond uncomfortable- not stretchy whatsoever. I am normally a size 6 and I wore the 8 as I am 7 weeks postpartum 

Loved the fit of this dress. My only complaint is that the straps were not adjustable so they were a little too long. 

Rented a 4 and 6 and decided to go with the 6 to fit the hips. The one thing I wasn't too keen on was that the straps were way too long for the length of my torso since I'm pretty short so I ended up having to tuck those in. Luckily the dress fit me tight at the top (34DD) but if it didn't there wouldn't be a chance this would've stayed up.

I loved wearing this dress! It fit me perfectly and the fabric was light and didn't wrinkle throughout the long day at a hot summer wedding. Occasionally the straps fell off my shoulders, but that wouldn't keep me from recommending this dress. Danced all night long and kept eating until the late night food was over. 

Loved this! It was a bit tight in the hips but I wore it anyway. Didn't need to wear a bra either!

Loved the beautiful pattern/colors of this dress! It fit nicely and the side ruffle was fun and flattering (works well if you were self conscious about your midsection at all). The straps were very long so had to tie them but that worked fine! 

I am normally a 4/6 so I ordered both. While they both fit, I ended up going with the 4 because the 6 was a little more roomy in the chest/back (but not by much). Some of the reviews stated the straps were too long, but they were the perfect length on me.

I rented this for a wedding but I couldn't wear it because it was too tight on my butt/hips/thigh area. It was a pretty dress and maybe I would've worn it if fit. Might not be an issue for you but I have a big butt!

I rented this for an outdoor wedding. I'm usually a 6, but it wasn't available. I rented the 8 and it was big on me - the straps kept falling off, the stomach area was much looser, and the bust area required a thicker bra. It was still gorgeous and I'd say is TTS. 

Was a little tight around the chest but still comfortable and so cute!

I am 5' 3", 150lbs, 34DD. The 8R fit but it just barely zipped and looked tight on my upper back so I went with the 10R (which was a little loose in the chest but nothing a bra couldn't fix). The straps are super long so you'll definitely need safety pins to fix that. But otherwise, I loved this dress! The colors of this dress are much better in person and the ruffle hid my stomach nicely! 

Loved this dress and got so many compliments! It fit like a glove. I'm tall and the straps were a little long and slipped down once in a while 

This dress is cute and perfect for spring/summer. However, whoever had this dress before me cut one of the straps and tried to sew it back on which made it worse. The straps are already too long so I had to safety pin them in the right place. I also didn't love how it looked on my body but I still got a lot of compliments on it.

This fit me perfectly in my normal size and was super fun to wear. The length was great for me but could be too much on a shorter person.

I was able to pin the straps to make it work. Wore it to a rehearsal dinner, very comfortable 

I rented a size 4 for one of the nights of a wedding, but the straps were a little too long and it just didn't look right. You could tie the straps to make it work, but I had other options, so just wore a different dress. 

Absolutely stunning and flattering! Gorgeous colors, feminine, not too tight. I received maaaanny compliments so I highly recommend! The straps were slightly too big but manageable with a strapless bra. I would buy if it wasn’t too $$. For size reference I’m 5’4” and 135 lbs. 

Dress did not fit. Couldn't zip up the dress. 

This dress was perfect for my dad's beach wedding. The straps are long so I had to pin them shorter and it was a bit tight around my hips but overall a very flattering and beautiful dress! 

This dress was amazing for an early fall wedding. The straps were a little long and not adjustable, but the neckline was still super flattering (the straps just fell off my shoulders occasionally). The slit was fun and not too high at all. I would 10000% recommend!!! 

Wore this to a rehearsal brunch and then for a welcome party that same night. It was a wonderful fit. I feel like it could be dressed up or down. I did not wear a bra with it, just nipple covers. It lent enough support to go without the bra. Beautiful length and ruffles, I loved it. Would be great for a destination/tropical wedding! 

Runs a little small and tight around the chest area. I'm typically a 6 and wore a size 8.

Rented my usual size 8 and a size 10. Both fit but went with the 10 because I wanted to feel comfortable drinking, eating and dancing all night. Gorgeous colors and shape. 

I've been dying to go to a formal event for the past year so I could wear this dress. It lived up to everything I imagined. The slit was great, as it was easy to move around in, but wasn't too high. Some people noted an issue with the straps being too long... mine did occasionally fall down but my chest was big enough to keep the dress up, no issues. I am a TRUE size 4 and wondered whether the 4 or 6 would fit me better, as some said the dress ran small. The four fit like a glove. I also liked the draping around the stomach of this dress and it was very flattering. 

Very cute dress, the pattern/color was super vibrant. The fit was also perfect (stayed true to my size 6). It's a bit chesty -- I'm a full 34C and I was definitely filing in the dress to capacity (but didn't mind it!). It's true was the women say on here about the straps -- I was pulling them up all night. Overall it was a cute fit and I'm glad I rented. 

Fit perfect! True to size in my opinion. The 4 was comfortable enough to dance all night. The color is beautiful!

Fit very well .  Was a very warm day August wedding . This dress was very comfortable and light!. Only issue was the straps where long and difficult to keep on shoulders.  I did see the others said the same. Beautiful dress over all! 

I wore this dress to an outdoor summer wedding and received a ton of compliments. I usually wear a 4 but had to go with the 6 - definitely size up if you are pear-shaped like me.  The straps are not adjustable and were a tad too long. I had to adjust a few times throughout the night but that didn't stop me from dancing!

I’m 5 ft, 115 lbs with a size 32D chest so I ordered both the 2R and 4R. I ended up wearing the 4R because the straps were a bit tighter than the 2R. Since the straps were longer on the 2R, the dress fell on my hips weird since it bunches on the side but I like that it hugged my body more. The straps also kept falling and did not stay put. For some reason, the 4R fit a little looser, but I wasn’t drowning in it. Since the straps were shorter, it fell better on my chest and waist. I think the last renter may have taken in the straps. For being 5ft, it wasn’t too long - just wear heels if you’re short! Overall, I loved the dress and felt comfortable eating a lot of food and dancing all night!
