I loved this dress and got many, many compliments, though it wasn't the easiest to wear of the dresses I've rented. Let's acknowledge that it wouldn't have happened at all if not for fashion tape! Maybe if I was bustier, but I'm not, so I wore lots of tape and stick on bra cups (it dips too low for anything else), and all was well. It also helped ensure I sat up straight all night! In the picture you can see I'm utilizing the pockets, which are fab. The uneven hem made shoes easy--heels or flats, there was no tripping to worry about for me (I'm 5'5" and wore the regular length). I'll note that in my back up size--thankfully the one I didn't wear--the straps were starting to pull out of the dress. It would have needed some stitching or had a major risk of pulling apart. The size I wore was fine, but make sure to give the straps a check before you leave!

This dress was so fabulous I still think about it a year later. The fit was super comfortable (pockets! flowing skirt!) and the 3D pattern was so unique. Wish I was standing up straight in the picture so the top didn't look a little weird, but you get the idea. I loved the dress and felt fabulous all night. I'm 5'5" and wearing 3" wedges. The skirt wasn't dragging or anything but I did still pick up the hem when I was walking so as not to trip.

This was my backup dress for a summer wedding. I didn't end up needing it, which was good, because though it was beautiful and I liked it, I would have needed some major strap wrangling and tape to keep my small boobs covered. Maybe it's because I'm a big pear, heavier on the bottom than top, which left the top just too big for my barely B chest. So, just a consideration if that describes you too. It might also have fit better if my shoulders were broader, to help spread the straps more. Beautiful fabric and colors!
