Beautiful, high quality dress
I'm giving this dress 5/5, even though the sizing was weird because it ended up looking good and I felt good in it. As mentioned in other reviews, the top is really tight but also manages to be too loose. I ended up sizing up to an 8 as I couldn't get the 6 zipped over my chest. The other problem was that the straps were about 1 cm longer than they should've been. It "fit," but was a little low and I looked like I was falling out of the dress. We tried to pin it but the straps are delicate and one looked like it had started to fray, so I didn't want to risk it. I ended up getting black ribbon to tie the top together. Other than occasionally adjusting the straps/ribbon and having to wear my hair down to cover it, I was happy with the result. The dress is lined and (especially with my ribbon trick) I didn't need to wear a bra. I would wear this again.

Loved the color, perfect for a chilly, late September wedding.
Reading other reviews had me convinced that this dress in my size would be too small. I'm usually a 6, but instead rented an 8 as the normal size and a 10 as the backup. My thinking was that I'd rather it be a little loose than too tight for dancing/sitting/etc at a wedding. The 8 was too big, but I loved the color and wanted something with sleeves as it was a chilly day, so I wore it anyway. It worked out fine. It wasn't as form fitting as the right fit would've been, but it was still wearable. Make sure you order true to size so it's not baggy on you!
