Shows just enough skin to be a nice date night outfit without being too revealing. The adjustable straps and back made it perfect. Highly recommend 

I wore this for my best friend’s wedding in North Carolina at the end of September, and it was perfect! I would say it’s just as vibrant as the pictures, and the material is very light and soft —When I think of lace on a dress, I imagined it to be hard and thick, but it’s not at all. The lace-up back lends itself to the wearer since it gives as much or as little room as you want. My only real concern was that it can pull easily, so I was careful not to get caught on anything, including my rings. Overall, I got many compliments on the dress, and I had a tough time deciding whether or not I wanted to buy it at the end of it all! 

Fit was spot on, felt beautiful, so many compliments!

Rented this dress for a summer wedding in the South and it was perfect for the heat and humidity. The blue is rich and vibrant, loved the color. Dress is backless so it's sexy and yet, quite appropriate for a wedding. 

I'm short (only 5 feet tall) but it was a good length on me. Hit just above the ankle. 

I loved the color and style of this dress. As someone with a decent sized chest I'm always a little concerned about open back styles and not being able to wear a bra, but because this is high neck and entirely adjustable it worked out great! It was a little long for my 5'3" frame but I think it still looked great. My only complaint is that I have a bit of a broad back and shoulders and the strings to tie up the back were BARELY long enough to tie up at the bottom.

This dress fit true to size. I'm 5'4", 125 pounds and the size 2 was perfect. The material is light enough to brave the summer heat but thick enough to cover any sweat marks. The bodice has some boning which is great for a little structure but not too much to trade comfort for style. I would suggest ordering 2- I also ordered a 0, which would have worked as well, but the embroidery was snagged (which I'm sure over time is bound to happen). So many compliments on this dress- loved it. 

The dress is beautiful, and I received several compliments. However, if you're tall, the slip underneath is quite short. I am 5'9", with a long torso, and the slip went down to my fingertips (ie, my upper thigh, a few inches, if it were an inseam on a pair of shorts). The lace provides coverage, but you can still see skin underneath. I had some doubts about wearing it, but ended up going for it. I wore it (with a cardigan for the ceremony, since it is backless) and it was beautiful. 

I thought this dress fit true to size and was comfortable all night long. I received a ton of compliments. The back of the dress was stunning as well!

This dress is very flattering! Runs TTS, and hit mid-calf on my 5'3 frame. The color is beautiful and stands out almost as much as the back. The only con- the underskirt hem was stiff to give the dress structure, and it was kind of warped... I think it has been messed up with wear, but you couldn't tell when the dress was on, so I didn't care.

The dress was great and I got several compliments.  At that time in 2017, I was a size 12 and probably like 180 lbs 

This dress definitely required help with the back ties, but otherwise it was a show stopper.  I got so many compliments on the beautiful indigo blue color.  I wore it for a fall wedding in Texas.  The little straps stayed surprisingly secure and comfortable throughout the night.

I wore this to a wedding and got so many compliments on it! Beautiful bright blue color, very comfortable fit. I have a small chest so loved the high neck, and didn't even wear a bra with the strappy open back. Don't hesitate- rent this, or buy it even! 

5'5", 130 lbs. Usually wear an XS/S or size 2-6, depending. 

Size 2 fit perfectly - bc of the strings in the back, you can really tie it as tight or loose as you want.

You could really dress this UP or Down. I wore this to a relatively fancy September wedding (many but not all women were in floor-length dresses) and I felt appropriately dressed with the midi length. 

The color is super pretty, too. 

One small "complaint" is that the lace by the arms/shoulders was a bit floppy. I would have preferred it to be stiffer and stay flat on the skin, but no biggy. I tried to iron it down, but it didn't stay. 

Heads up: It shows a lot of back, and you'll need to wear a bra without a back.

I usually wear a 4 in dresses, a 6 in pants. Wore a 4 and it fit true to size. Strapped back allowed me to tighten the dress to accommodate a small bust. Tea length would probably work best on taller girls. I am 5'8, wore 3" heels and the hem hit mid shin. Beautiful dress, love the color!

I LOVED this dress! It fit true to size for me, and the style of the back allows the dress to fit looser or tighter depending on your needs. It was comfortable and flattering. The bodice material was thick enough that I didn't even need a bra. I received multiple compliments on the dress. I would definitely rent this again! 

This dress is true to size, the color and detail is beautiful.  I hung it overnight and the subtle wrinkles straightened out.  I did not wear a bra I used boob tape instead.  I love love love this dress and wish I could keep it. I would rent again. 

This dress was perfect! It was cute but not revealing and I got tons of compliments all night long

This dress is very flattering and the color is beautiful! I wore this to my cousin's wedding.  The back is open so you most likely can't wear a bra.  But the back is so pretty with the strap detail! 

The dress fit really well and was very flattering! The open back would help if you are questioning your size. I found it was true to size though. Got tons of compliments!

Rented this dress for a summer backyard wedding and it was perfect. Fit just right especially with the adjustable straps. It was slightly longer than a typical "midi" length. Given how popular this dress is, I felt it was in great condition and didn't appear worn, especially the blue color being very vibrant. 

I loved this dress! It was comfortable, the color is gorgeous, and the open back details are super cute!

I rented this for an early summer wedding and it was a hit! I got so many compliments and loved how the dress made me feel. The blue was stunning and lovely. I wore without a bra and didn't have any issues. The ties in the back are a little complex but nothing I couldn't figure out on my own. I HIGHLY recommend this one!

The color was great and the dress fit true to size. I loved the open back and how it added to the look of the dress. The back ties were easily adjusted and allowed for a secure fit all night long. 

Writing this review in Feb of 2021. We went to this wedding in 2019 and I still get compliments on this dress now.

Pros: Fit, style, color
Cons: the back straps were a bit difficult to figure out (but that was probably a personal problem lol)

The dress was the perfect hue and style for a fun outdoor wedding! The fabric (lace) had a good weight and perfect hid any small imperfections but there were a couple places that the dress dug into the skin and was a bit uncomfortable - nothing unbearable though. Overall a great experience! 

Loved this dress and received so many compliments! Fit is true to size! Open back is flattering and sexy! The bust is rather structured, so I was able to not have to wear a bra and felt supported the whole evening! 

This dress is gorgeous. I received so many compliments! 

Super cute, adjustable back thanks for the tied back so there's wiggle room to custom fit the top.  The color was a show stopper.  The lace at the top back stuck out a bit when the strings were pulled tight but didn't bother me.  Elegant yet sexy dress for a wedding!

Cute dress, great color. Fits a little weird in the underarm area and was a little pokey. I usually wear a 4 or 6 and the 6 just fit. I'm 5'7" and 143 lbs.

This was a hit! I the lace was gorgeous and if you have a bigger bust you didn't need a bra! Only rated 4 stars due to you literally need another person to tie you in to this dress other than that I loved it and got so many compliments!

Perfect for a summer outdoor wedding!

The torso fit was definitely a little big for me, but the straps made it easy to adjust. Also the length was a bit too conservative for my taste. Not my favorite fit but very appropriate for a wedding. 

If your on the fence about renting this one, just do it! You will not be disappointed! Runs true to size, can be a little tight in the rib. Backless sticky bra, and spanx highly recommended.

Absolutely loved this dress! I tried both the 6 & 8 and went with the 8 for a little more breathing room (zipper close). The lining underneath is a tad short (I'm 5'9") but didn't feel revealing because of the lace overskirt. The color is divine, and the back is a showstopper. I wore this to an outdoor summer wedding and stayed cool and stylish. Highly recommend!

Only thing I was not fond of on this dress was the tie in the back, created a slight bubble of fabric. I wish there was maybe 1 more criss-cross to keep it together better. The slight A-line cut was super flattering, I felt comfortable the whole night.

I have always loved this color on my skin tone. It  is such a great fitting dress and it came out awesome in our pictures. I would definitely rent again for an event! I was worried it was going to be too long on me, but it came out perfectly!
