Black Tie Beauty!
This is probably my favorite dress that I've ever rented! It is so sexy! It fits like a glove and the plunging neckline is just to die for! I got complimented on this dress all night long. I'm usually a size 4, but sized up based on reviews and it was perfect. I wore shorty Spanx and used fashion tape along the bust and had no problems with exposure. Fashion tape is a MUST with this dress. The material is nice and thick and the long length was perfect with 4 inch heels (pooled perfectly around my feet). I'm 5'6 and have an athletic build. I also have a small bust (34B), so I can get away with this neckline. Someone with a larger bust might have some difficulties with this one.

Not made for athletic girls
This dress is HUGE! I get that it's supposed to have that look, but it also runs large, so it's even more HUGE! It's very light and breezy and can be sexed up or played down, but if you're looking for any structure whatsoever, this is not your dress. I have an athletic build and it looked okay on me, but would probably look much better on a taller, thinner build. I'm 5'6 and wore 5" heels to try to fake the frame needed for this dress. The only undergarments I wore were nipple covers and that's it and that was totally fine. If you don't feel comfortable that exposed, you'll need some kind of lacy bralette and panty because you can see through the sides of this dress. I tried the slip that it comes with and I thought it looked horrible! It covers up the exposed skin at the sternum, which is what makes this dress so attractive.

Perfect Summer Dress
This dress is absolutely gorgeous! The material is heavier than it looks in pictures, but I was still able to comfortably wear it to an outdoor wedding in Palm Springs (temp = 105 degrees). The bust and arms have a loose fit, but the rib cage area has zero give whatsoever. I couldn't get the top button buttoned to save my life, even though the dress fit perfectly everywhere else. I ended up tucking the top button back into itself on each side to create a little triangle cut out of skin, which was super cute. I actually liked that look better! If you don't want to end up going that route, I'd suggest sizing up, although I think if I had sized up the bust would have been way too big. I didn't need to wear a bra or nipple covers with this dress. I ordered a regular length so that I could wear it with flat sandals and the material just grazed the ground. If I had wanted to wear heels, I would have needed more length. I'm 5'6 with an athletic build.
