Form fitting, sexy, great color
The dress was very form fitting with minimal stretch, so it is really beautiful, but keep that in mind if you're curvier like me (i.e., I wore the 6, not the 4). There isn't much give at the knees either so you're somewhat limited in how much you can dance or raise your knees for stairs. The color is gorgeous. I'd be interested in renting it again in other colors. Loved it, especially for the price.

Super beautiful, feminine, flowy. Sexy on top, flowy on the bottom. I'm 5'8" and it was touching the floor with sandals, so if you're shorter, you'll definitely need heels!

Too small on the hips. Not made for anyone that isn't a straight pencil!

Fits great. Love the length. The little flare on the shoulder is enough to make it special, but classic. Just a little stretch.

Great casual daytime dress
Lovely dress with a unique print. The dress was hitting the floor on me and I'm about 5'8. The open slit in the front is great with the skirt to keep it airy, but conservative enough that you don't look like you're all out of your dress. Wish I could keep it

Great shape and color!
I really liked the color and shape of the dress. My only issue was that the slip underneath would ride up when walking leaving the lace see through higher on the thigh than I wanted. I am also more bottom heavy than top, so I guess it would only be an issue if you're a large bottomed pear like me. Otherwise, really classic and curvy.

Lovely top
The dress itself is beautiful with lots of rushing to flatter your curves. The top of the dress with the stretchy off the shoulder lace is stunning and the best part of this dress. Everyone said they loved it. As for the only negative, the dress was too short for me. Not sure if it's because it was just a shorter cut or if my hips took some of the length off, but it landed at my ankles which I hated, but managed with anyway. If you have any hips at all, I would either order a size up to make sure it doesn't take the length away OR just get your size in a long length. Really lovely classy dress :)

Lovely
This is a lovely, classy jumpsuit that has some sexy appeal. I ended up not wearing it because the torso was too short for my body and the crossover in the front had a weird way of laying flat on me so it looked like i had a belly bump. Otherwise, beautiful details and fabric.

Great jumpsuit, but not for long torsos!
I ended up not wearing this super cute jumpsuit because the torso was too short for my body. I also have large hips and big behind, so the jumpsuit was a tad too tight there also. The fabric isn't very stretchy, so I couldn't get away with it. BUT it is otherwise very cute!

Great black dress
Wore this for a formal event and ended up wearing it twice. The material of these dresses is amazing and flattering and comfortable. The neckline on this dress initially felt a little funny, but as the night went on, I appreciated how unique it was and how cute it was. Great LBD.

Pretty color, fell a little funny on me
Dress color was lovely and the material is fabulous. But for some reason, the hips just fell funny on me and it wasn't flattering. Maybe I got the wrong size, who knows!

Loved the fit of the small, hugged my waist a bit better and the design of the sequins gave my shape and beautiful look. Ended up wearing my alternative dress because it was cold and I wanted sleeves, but I actually ended up renting this one again for next weekend!

Cute, but short!
This dress was cute. Very simple and more informal than expected. The only reason I didn't wear it was because it's shorter than I expected. I'm 5'8" and dresses tend be a bit too short sometimes. Very cute otherwise!

POCKETS!
The dress is really pretty. The gold detail on the skirt is beautiful and much nicer than in photos. The dress also has pockets, which is a game changer. The dress is also flattering because it fits the waist closely and opens up at the hips so you can hide some big hips, but still look thin at your waist. I would recommend sizing it true to waist and forget your hip size if you're a pear like me.

Vibrant color, great fabric, pockets!!!!
The dress is beautiful. Color is vibrant. Skirt is feminine and there are pockets! Only complaint - I needed to wear a belt at the waist because it was a tad big and shapeless there on my body.

Dress is lovely. I am normally a 4, but the 2 was large at the waist for me. Otherwise, it was a great simple black dress. The alternating lace texture was lovely.

I loved this dress.

Very pretty on the hanger, not flattering on body
The dress color is beautiful and the pockets are clutch. However, the shape of the dress is not flattering, especially for pear folks like me. I ended up not wearing it because it made me look huge.

Lovely lace, narrow skirt
The dress is beautiful in every way. Only issue is the skirt is narrow and hits below the knee, so if you have long legs, it is hard to walk normally because you are forced to take smaller steps. Going up stairs is also comical.

Pretty, but not best for pears
The dress is super pretty. I would have loved to wear it, but the dress is not meant for drastic pears like me. My waist is disproportionately smaller than my hips. So the dress fit everywhere except my waist. It was huge there. At least 4-5in too big. The lace is beautiful and so is the color. Too bad it didn't fit me well :(

The color of this dress is dynamite. Didn't wear it because it was a little too short in the back.
The dress is a gorgeous color. But, when I put it on, it was short in the front and even shorter in the back. When I walked, the back bounced up a little towards my bum and thus was far too short to wear. Definitely a beautiful dress otherwise.

The dress was very cute, but ran pretty small.
My friend was going to wear this for her bachelorette, but went with the alternative dress because the other one was a bit more festive and fit her better. Cute, though.

Dress was a replacement for another dress that wasn't available. It fit her well, just a bit low cut. Pretty dress.

Lovely, comfortable, and bright!
Dress was great and comfortable. It was looser than I'd like below the bust, but that worked out fine. The green is beautiful, though less bright than on the website. Highly recommend the dress.
