Absolutely Gorgeous - Stands Out in a Sea of Black Gowns
Rent this dress. The color is beautiful and the lace makes it so interesting. I actually tried to rent this again for another wedding but it wasn't available. So stunning.

Great bag, but small
Such a cute bag and it really brought the outfit together. It wasn't large enough to hold an iPhone which was a bit annoying.

Frumpy, too much fabric
I had high hopes for this dress based on reviews, but the fit was very weird and I just felt like I was drowning in fabric. I thought the neckline looked pretty in the pictures, but it was very low cut and gaping to the point that I didn't feel comfortable. I ended up not wearing the dress and wouldn't recommend.

Comfortable, long-sleeve dress perfect for a cold New Years Eve!
This was a perfect dress for New Years Eve! The long-sleeves and high neckline kept me nice and warm and was modest enough. The entire dress is covered in sequins, however it wasn't at all constricting. I rented the 2 and the 4, however the 2 fit a bit better in the body. It was still a little boxy, so I added a belt. Gave it a 4 because the boxy-ness wasn't really my thing, but overall it was great!

Didn't get to wear it, but it was a great LBD alternative
Fits a bit small in the crotch so I recommend sizing up. The cutouts and neckline were very flattering. I'd love to rent this again.

Excellent dress for my first wedding anniversary!
The pattern on this dress makes it such a standout, and the open back makes it super sexy. I rented the 2 and the 4 and while both fit well, the bottom of the 2 was a bit too snug and short for my comfort. I was worried that the 4 would be too large across the shoulders so would sag open in the back, but it fit well. I wore this for my first anniversary dinner and after the big meal and our wedding cake topper, I was glad I went with the 4. The hemline is a bit weird on this dress. It doesn't seem to want to lay flat. Otherwise, the fabric and fit were fantastic. This was my first RTR and I will definitely be renting again!
