This dress was beautiful, and easy to wear! I received a ton of compliments!
It definitely runs large in the body, however, it is a bit tight in the arms. If you are athletic, or have bigger arms, be mindful of that with the sizing. I usually wear a 4, but easily fit into the 2, however, I did feel like the arms were a bit snug on the size 2 and 4. Otherwise, this dress was pretty effortless to wear. I paired it with the Kendra Scott necklace they recommended, and it really popped nicely for the all white attire (girl) baby shower I attended.

Beautiful dress, but runs big and LONG
this was a gorgeous dress...beautiful color and fabric detail. As you read in other reviews, the color is a deeper pink than is pictured on the model, but that does not hurt anything. I am 5'8, and found this dress to be too long to pull of the full, bubble skirt that it has. I had to do an emergency "hem" with pins just to pull it off, otherwise the dress looked a bit sloppy on me. Also, the dress is very large. I run very small through the rib cage area, where the seam is. With my small rib cage and smaller chest, even the size 2 ran large on me (i normally wear a 4). If you are small in that area, I would recommend going down 2 sizes....and definitely have some hem tape/pins on hand. If you can get through that, this is a very pretty and fun dress to wear!

Great dress for a night out on the town!
i rented this dress for a night out in Miami. The colors are perfect and really pop against tan skin. The dress is extremely form fitting, so be mindful of this when you order it. I decided to wear the M instead of the S so I didn't feel so packed into it, but the material is very very tight spandex (almost like spanx). Loved this dress and would definitely rent again!

Gorgeous dress, Stunning color!
I rented this dress for an outdoor wedding in Miami. The picture and even the pics in the reviews do not do it justice. It was the perfect dress for the occasion! I will say that the dress does need the right undergarments. I found a nude slip at Dillards and wore a nude bra, and used a little double-sided tape around the neck line to hold it down. Also....I would highly recommend a belt at the waist...It really helps to give your body some definition and break up the dress a bit. I also rented the earrings pictured to go with this. I received so many compliments all night, from people at the wedding, and even people just hanging out at the hotel where the wedding was held. If you are on the fence about this, do not hesitate to rent it. I am 5'8 and normally a size 4 dress and I wore the 2R with flat sandals. The dress is so pretty and light and airy when the wind catches it. By far one of my favorite rentals!

Perfect dress for a dinner party!
I wore this dress to my going away party. I live in DC and since the weather was cold, I paired it with some black tights and the necklace pictured, and it was the perfect outfit for the occasion! I did feel the dress ran a bit small in the hip area, and with the long sleeves, it doesn't give a lot of wiggle room. Normally, I would wear the size 4 in these rentals, but for this one, I was lucky to have sized up to the 6 as my back-up. Even in the 6, it felt a bit snug, but with tights, was just right. Also note: the fabric on this dress is VERY thick....almost thermal/sweater-like. Be mindful of this when you rent it!

Not what I expected
I had such high hopes for this dress when I saw it in the picture. Unfortunately, the fabric and the cut of the dress don't compliment a curvy figure. It seems best suited for girls with straight up and down figures/ boy figures. The dress grabbed me around the hip/thigh area, and was way too loose up top. The fabric was so much heavier than I had anticipated, even despite reading the reviews. Overall, it was just uncomfortable and unflattering. Beautiful print, but not for everybody.....

More beautiful in person than the picture!
This dress showed up as a back-up when the dress I had originally intended on wearing wasn't available at the time of shipping. I ended up wearing this one and loved it. I usually wear a size 4, but only the size 6 was available. The fabric does hug your body pretty closely, so I actually felt comfortable in the 6. It was a little loose around the chest and armpit area, but barely noticeable. I received so many compliments on this dress all night- I paired it with the necklace shown in the picture, and the look was amazing! The back of the dress also creates quite the statement. I would definitely rent this dress again!!!

Your basic black clutch
I received this as my mystery accessory, but did not use it. The size is really small, and could barely hold my phone, much less any of my makeup or keys. I also didn't care for the shiny material, paired with the diamond snap on the top. This clutch was actually difficult to pair with my outfit.

Gorgeous statement necklace!
This necklace exceeded my expectations, as the picture doesn't do it justice. The color of the stones is perfect, and it sparkles perfectly when the light hits it. I wish I owned this necklace because it is so versatile, you can dress it up or down with so many different pieces.

Loved this dress!
I wore this for an outdoor wedding in the fall and absolutely loved it. I ended up wearing the size 6 under slip, and the size 4 lace overlay. While the size 4 slip was true to size, it did pull a bit under the lace, which created wrinkles. It was better for me to have the larger slip and smaller overlay to remove those imperfections. Very happy with this rental!

Wore this to a country club wedding. Loved the dress- perfect for the occasion!
The dress is a bit long, and hit right above the knee for me (I am 5'8"), and was a little loose around the waist and neckline. I would recommend sizing down if you are smaller on top.

beautiful necklace!
This necklace is gorgeous but a lot chunkier in person than it appears in pictures. I would recommend wearing this with a very simple dress, as the necklace makes a huge statement on its own.

Gorgeous Dress- easy to wear!
the dress ran a little small in the hips so I opted for the size up(6). I used double sided tape to secure the top but did find after dancing a bit that I was tugging at the dress to keep it from folding over on one side and exposing my bra. A fresh tape job fixed it right up. Other than that this dress really does all the work for you. It made such a statement and received so many compliments all night!

I wore this dress to a black tie wedding. I loved the color had had fun wearing this!
I am 5'8" and wear a size 4 dress. I am small up top but have curvy hips. The dress fit perfectly! Although the slit is high, the dress has good movement in the skirt, so it covers the deep slit while you Are walking or sitting down. I was able to pair this dress with existing gold shoes and accessories. I am tall so I only needed a 2 inch heel to prevent the dress from dragging the ground.
