A bit short - order long!
The fit itself here was perfect, comfortable, and extremely flattering. However, I wished I had gotten the long! The regular was a bit short and I had to wear a different pair of shoes than I originally planned. I'm 5'5", wore 2" heels, and it was just barely long enough.

ALMOST bought this one
Loved this one so much I wore it twice - once for a rehearsal dinner and again for Easter! Fits like a glove and is very cute for spring. Almost bought it rather than sending it back because I loved it so much. Would recommend a strapless bra because the detail on the shoulders is not lined

Nearly White!
I rented this for a rehearsal dinner but ended up not being able to wear it because the color was so close to white. It's definitely blush, but looks white! I'm a size four and went up a size after reading reviews and I definitely needed it. It's a very cute dress but the skirt is somewhat short and flies up Marilyn-style in the wind. Liked it, but probably wouldn't rent again.

Super flattering!
Loved this dress and got so many compliments all night! I'm a size four, and wore a size four, so this is pretty true to size.

Stunning dress, but small!
I wear a size 4 in pretty much every brand. Some brands, I can even squeeze into a 2. NOT THIS DRESS. This dress runs small and short. I ordered a 4R, but after reading the reviews, added a 6L as my extra. Thank goodness I did! The size 4R fit like a 2P -too tight and much too short. The 6L, however, fit like a dream. It was an absolutely stunning dress and I got compliments all night long! I'm 5'5" and wore 3" heels and the length for the 6L was perfect.

Runs small
I am usually in between a 4 and a 6. I rented the 4 and 2 in this dress and wore the 2! Even then, the straps were falling down all night and the chest was still a little big. I loved the way this looks, but I would recommend wearing a strapless bra underneath (even though it's already padded) to fill out the top part. A word of caution though, my strapless didn't work because this dress is so low cut that the bra showed through. The material is stretchy and comfortable and is thick so very forgiving!

So many compliments!
This dress was super flattering and very comfortable! The material stretches and is thick enough to forgive the extra helping of mac & cheese I grabbed during the reception. EVERYONE came up to give me compliments on how great this dress was!

A little baggy and flimsy
Rented this dress for a summer rehearsal dinner. The material was light and the pattern was fun, but it ran a little big. Though I can typically pull off a size up, the flows material made this less flattering and look more like a sack. Also, this particular dress had a rip in the back of it when I received it. It seemed pretty flimsy and I was paranoid all night that I was going to rip it even more.

Weird fit
I rented this for a formal rehearsal dinner. Loved the way the dress looked and loved the pockets, but the top half fit very loosely. I had to keep adjusting it all night to make sure it stayed in place. I rented both the size 4 and size 6, but ended up wearing the 6 because of a defect in the size 4 closure. The 4 fit better in the chest, but was tight at the waist, while the 6 fit me better in the waist, but was too loose up top. Worked for the evening, but not my favorite.

Perfect brunch dress
Rented this for a bridesmaids' brunch/tea, and it did not disappoint! Very comfortable and super flattering, I was extremely pleased with this dress. The pattern is bold, but not tacky, and worked well for our nice tea room venue.
