I normally wear a size 8, however that wasn't available for the event I was renting for. And based on the reviews, I figured I would be fine with a 10. It actually was too big on me throughout. The slight advantage of that is that as the dress has no stretch, it was nice to have some extra space for things like getting in and out of the car. The dress is quite beautiful, got many compliments, but the make of the dress is just a little too restricting. I imagine that the 8 would have fit and looked way better, but I definitely would have been uncomfortable due to the non stretch fabric. I think a slit in the back would have made a huge difference in wearability. I also wonder if the dress had been stretched out over time because it pooched very oddly in the stomach area. Not very flattering but probably something only I noticed anyway. 

The fit is pretty tight so do some crunches before wearing this number unless you don't mind a little muffin popping out. I'm usually a size 0 and wore the size 2. The material is thick, almost like tweed, but it was comfortable in an October wedding. The neckline looks better in person and very unique. 

Kaleidoscope dress is the perfect name for this dress. The colors are vibrant and beautiful. The fabric doesn't have much give minus the black elastic sides. I'm a true 0 so this dress fit perfectly even after a 5 course meal and dessert. The only thing weird about the dress is the shoulders, because of the cutouts, it didn't sit perfect on my shoulders and sometime would awkwardly 'bunch up'. 


I ordered both a zero and two; the dress runs small and tight all over so I wore the two. Also,, I thought the fabric would be a shiny patent but it turned out to be a woven dresses- the threads seem to fray a little all over. 

Still, I really like the dress and it looked great for the wedding- just a little warm for summer,

This dress is so much fun! The fit, the colors, the cut outs, its a true show stopper. I wore this to a concert and after party in Nashville for the first night of my husband's 30th birthday weekend. The pictures online do not do this dress justice!! It is way more fabulous in person. I paired it with black pumps and gold accessories. The fit is very true to size, it fit like a glove. I would recommend going up a size for your back up if it is available because it is very fitted across the bodice. I got so many compliments on this dress and it was perfect for a night on the town! 

Just like the other reviewers, I thought this dress ran small and has no give in the fabric and was tight in the hips and a little too loose in the waist.  But it is a beautiful dress, wonderful metallic tweed fabric.  

Its a beautiful woven fabric, but does not give and runs a little small. It sat very tight at the hip,  and sadly the next size up was not available.  It was not the most comfortable dress I have worn, but it was worth it!

I rented this dress as an option for New Year's Eve, but I ended up choosing to wear another dress. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the fabric of this dress, both the color and texture were better than I had predicted. It wasn't as dressy looking as I was hoping for though, and I had read reviews saying to size up, so I ordered the 10 when I am usually an 8, and I wish I had just ordered an 8 because the 10 gave my body no shape. In the picture I am holding the extra fabric in the back to make it look more flattering. This would be a nice dress for a work function, maybe I'll find an occasion to order it again, next time in size 8.

I ordered a 6 and an 8. The 6 ran rib-crushingly small in the waist, and while the 8 was comfy in the waist, there was a ton of extra fabric in the belly area, which was unflattering. So, comfort, or flattering??? I went flattering, and took off the dress the moment dinner was over... The dress wasn't nearly as shimmery in the evening light, and the length was a bit matronly on my shorter 5'4" frame. I felt more like a politician's wife than a not date : ( I still love you though, RTR!

I wore this dress to my 10 Year High School Reunion - I obviously wanted to stand out from the crowd (LBDs everywhere) and look great. This dress was definitely fun (love the color and cutouts) but it fits a little weird. I usually wear a 4 or 6 in dresses, but I almost wish I had gotten an 8. The hips were super tight, but the top (including the black cinched in section) was pretty baggy. I don't have huge boobs, maybe if I did this would fit better. The dress kept shifting around my hips and the side seam would end up in front, so I was constantly adjusting all night. I'm glad I wore it but it's by no means my favorite rental.

I received a size 0 and a size 4, unfortunately the zipper of the 4 was broken, so I had to go with the 0. It was SUPER tight, and the material does not have a lot of give. It was perfectly comfortable while standing and dancing, but very short while sitting. I would've definitely preferred a size 2, so make sure to get your real size! I wore it with nude strappy heels to play off of the blush color in the fabric, and a simple gold bracelet and a bag with gold hardware! I did get a ton of compliments on it, and I loved how much personality the dress had!

I rented this dress for new years. The material was a little different than I expected, but overall it fit great and looked great as well. 

I like your look!  Short hair looks great with this!

This dress was amazing.. I suggest going a size up. I am 5'8", 130lbs, and I ordered the size 4, which I found to be too tight. Nonetheless, I looked great in it, and received major compliments. I paired it with a black blazer, and some structured black heels, to keep up with the futuristic edge look of the dress. Minimal jewelry. My first Proenza dress and I would DEFINITELY go back for another.. 

I wore this for a summer wedding. I received a lot of compliments. The fabric feel like linen and the shiny part is threading woven into the dress. The only problem I had was that it was narrow in the hips and it had no stretch. I loved the color!

There is glittery threading woven in through out and it looks great in pictures! The only downside is it is not stretchy at all! Order a size up if you have larger hips. 

This dress is fierce in person!! Beautiful variegated colors.  I wore this to a wedding with black heels and minimal jerwerly, let the dress do the talking! Runs very tight thru the hip area!!! I always wear a size 0, good thing I order the free backup size...I wore the size 2 instead because it was more comfortable sitting. I would highly recommend this dress if you want to impress!
