An easy, breezy dress for a job interview!
I was worried when the only size available in this dress was a small, but it fit great! I tend to be more hippy, as well, so I was pleasantly surprised when nothing was tight on me, or too short. I wore this for a job interview in Southern California and got the job! I wish I owned this one; it's the perfect mix of classy and fashion-forward in one easy package.

A gorgeous dress for a winter wedding!
This was a great dress to wear for a mid-December wedding. The fit was sexy but conservative, with slits up both sides and an interesting neckline. The only drawback was that the front kept bunching up (maybe it was my hips) on both the medium and the large, so I think the tailoring in the waist may have been a little off for my body type. I went with the medium, my usual size, and got many compliments throughout the night! Beware though- because of the fit and the side-slits, it was a bit hard to dance in and rode up every once and awhile.

A great birthday dress for a night out!
I wore this on my birthday to a concert and casinos. It's a great dress! True to size and stretchy, I ordered a medium and a small. I ended up trying on the medium first, and it fit so well that I didn't try on the small. The sequins scratch a bit, but it wasn't too bad at all. I wore a strapless bra, as I had a feeling the straps would show with a normal one. I wish I could've kept the dress! I got countless compliments. Rent it! You won't be disappointed!

The perfect Little Red Dress for a rehearsal dinner!
I love love LOVE this dress! I rented it for a rehearsal dinner for a wedding that I was in, and the compliments didn't stop! The strapping back was so cute and the halter top was flattering. The only complaint is that the crinoline underneath the dress to poof it out itched after awhile. I love the see-through flower lace on the top and sides! The back is low and sexy, but the whole dress screams "class". True to size and wonderful to wear. I wish I owned this one!

Perfect bridesmaid dress...just size up!
I rented this for a bridesmaid dress and got compliments all night! The only downside is that it runs small for us ladies with a curve, so size up for your second size if you're worried. I usually wear a 4 but found the 6L to be tight on me. I threw on a pair of Spanx, wiggled in, and then breathlessly unzipped at the end of the night. Wasn't dancing-friendly but it looked beautiful on.

Summery, classy dress!
Rented this for a bridal shower. Boy am I glad I read the reviews and sized up! I am usually a small/medium, but needed a large to fit this dress comfortably around my hips/thighs. It wasn't my favorite, most flattering fit based on my body type (small waist, bigger hips, average bust), but it still looked classic and summery. The sleeves were definitely a nice touch.

Beautiful, unique dress!
Loved this dress! I rented a 4 and a 2 because other reviews said it ran large, and it does. The waist was a bit too big on the 4, so I opted to wear the 2 and it fit like a glove. I love the asymmetrical skirt! The mesh back was also a great accent, and I wore a NuBra with it so there wouldn't be anything showing, as for me the mesh showed even on the side.. It was just long enough for me and looked nice with heels, but for someone shorter I definitely recommend heels so the back doesn't drag. Makes a dramatic entrance for sure!

A perfect mix of classy and sassy! Loved it!
Worn for my dad's retirement party. Fit true to size. I am usually always a 6 in dresses, and fortunately this one fit like a glove. I did wear Spanx though, because the sparkle on the green center panel is a little more unforgiving on the shape. I got so many compliments on it all night- it was comfortable and long enough to be modest (even on my 5' 9" frame). Rent this dress!

Comfortable and stylish!
Love love love this romper. I was scared to order it because I have a long torso, but the fit was great! I loved having the pockets. I'm a small-busted lady so I didn't wear a bra, but if you're bending down all night you may need to get some dress tape. Great quality and so many compliments! Runs large in my opinion.

Loved this dress! It was so flowy and perfect for an indie concert.
Fit true to size, and runs long- I had the 4R and didn't wear heels, so the length was perfect. Very, very comfortable. Wore a Nubra with it, since the back is a little open.

Just wasn't right for me
Unfortunately, I had to return the dress and swap it for another one at the Georgetown store. The previous reviews were right; the dress isn't white- it's almost a grey color, and it doesn't fit as nicely as it looks on the model. I wore a 4, and usually vacillate between a 4 and a 6, but even though it fit, the back sorta just hung there instead of being fitted. Glad I was able to return it and get something else, but it just wasn't right for me.

Went perfectly with the dress!
Got this clutch as a stylist surprise item, and it went perfectly with the dress! It IS very small though , so if you have a lot of things to carry with you it might not work so well.

Compliments all night long! I loved the pockets, too, because it made it easy to store my camera!
Loved the fit, though I'm not a large-chested girl so I sized down for a better fit up top (which is admittedly the most important part based on the way this dress is cut.) The size long (I'm 5' 9") fit great with three-inch heels, though it would be far too long for shorter girls. The pockets were great too! My only complaint is that you NEED someone to help you put it on and take it off because of the way the back zips. Other than that it was a great choice! Very unique and fun, and elegant as well.
