Just okay - no wow factor
I know the dress reads fairly plain on the picture, but it was really lacking that "wow" factor I look for. As you can see the flash also photographed it much more teal than a deep green. I wasn't sad to return it

This dress devoured me
Hot tip - if you're on the shorter side the sheer amount of fabric on this dress will swallow you up! I was shocked how frumpy it looked on me because I really like the pattern. Very heavy in more than one way.

All that glitters is gold
The shine on the gold accents of this dress really surprised me -- as did the "peak-a-boo" on the chest that I didn't notice in the picture! It was a fun wear to a dinner party but I think this was a "wear once" kinda dress.

Perfect for Thanksgiving
This dress was an excellent, elevated Thanksgiving outfit. It was surprisingly comfortable given the snug fit.

Great Christmas sweater
This sweater was great for Christmas day! Very comfortable but elevated. A little shorter than I like but I wore a tank top under it so I could still effectively parent small children (IYKYK)

Showstopper!
Everyone complimented this dress - it was beautiful! And very comfortable. I wore it to a fancy outdoor dinner. I thought I would have been worried about the midsection split, but it was easy to adjust bigger or smaller per your level of comfort!

This dress DELIVERED
When I saw this dress online I gasped and in person yielded the same result. This gown is beautiful in person and super comfortable. The sleeves are giving a little bit of Disney villain energy and that's exactly what I was going for. It is long though - I had to lift the dress when I walked while wearing a wedged heel.

Lovely!
I loved this dress - it was silky, flowy, and forgiving! I sized up like the reviews had said, but I think the 12 was big and I had to fashion tape myself into it otherwise there would have been a huge an open gap at the bust. But I made it work and it was a gorgeous color!

Gorgeous dress - tons of compliments
I wore this dress as a bridesmaid in a wedding! The most difficult part was the chest area, but with some stickies, tape, and a prayer we were covered the whole night. It's super nice that the straps are adjustable. Also it has pockets! The gold pattern is much more noticeable in person but it really is lovely and makes a huge impact.

Belly Beware
Based on reviews I got a small since I'm usually a 6 in shirts. But since this shirt is soooooooo short it wouldnt clear my belly! I had to really tightened high waister pants to make it work. It was a beautiful top though

This shirt was an mvp
The fabric was thick and stretchy and SO flattering. I was able to dress it up with a leather skirt and dress it down with jean shorts. Definitely rent this item!

Gorgeous and unique
When I saw this dress I got 80’s prom dress reimagined vibes and it delivered. So comfy and fit like a dream. I loved the velvet fabric that seemed to shine. A truly great, bold option

Felt like a knockout
What can I say - this dress DELIVERED. I would have normally worn an 8 in this kind of dress but the 10 was roomy enough so it wasn't too tight while still being form fitting. The top was a little large I had to use fashion tape to keep everything in place. I am 8 months post partum so I wore spanx for my own self comfort. Moral of the story? I had someone stop me in my tracks and say "you are working that dress." So yeah, rent this dress!

Tight but effective
I'm 6 months post partum so I squeezed into the 6 with spanx, a hope, and a prayer. But the 8 was waaaaaaaaaaay too big on top! I still had to tape the sides because there was a lot of gapping. IT was still a very pretty dress with great length

Neither size worked
Blah I was so disappointed in this dress. The 4 was SO tight in the stomach with no give, and the 6 middle area worked but the bust was WAY too big on me. The sleeves were also folded and looked funny. Did not care for it at all.

WOW! This dress was everything I hoped it would be!
This was a great dress! The 4 fit me, but I ended up going with the 6 for extra length and comfort, particularly around the neck. It is beautiful and surprisingly forgiving, and the color is just wow. I didn't like the look with a cardigan, so if you're going to be cold I suggest a shawl.

Was able to dress it down!
This was a great party dress! I was surprised I needed the 4 since I'm usually a 6 or 8 in sheath dresses, so I'm glad I read other reviews. I will say even in the 4 it was large in the shoulders so the jacket kept it from looking ill fitting.

Compliments at a Snowy-Winter Wedding
Thank GOODNESS I sized down. I am usually between an 8 and 10 and I wore a 6 and I feel like I could have gone smaller. This dress was beautiful and I got so many compliments. Please note if you rent this dress you really need fashion tape on hand. I was super taped into this top/sleeves to make sure things weren't falling all over the place. But the high maintenance was worth the pay out because people couldn't stop talking about it.

Great Work Holiday Party Dress!
This dress was perfect and true to size. Usually I'm between an 8 and a 10 depending on the cut of the dress, but since this one flared out at the hips the 8 was perfect. The material was gorgeous and comfortable and I could wear a normal bra so I consider this really easy to wear.
