Ice!!
Rented for a formal affair with a Fire & Ice theme. It's not often you get to wear white. Dress is fun and cute. Thick material. Modest on top, but short, fitted, and dips low in the back. Lots of compliments. I'm 5'8" and about 150 lbs here.

Nice dress. Fit nice. But thick and heavy.
I liked this dress. It fit well. Was snug and fitted. It did feel kind of heavy and bulky at times though, like I was wearing a coat of armor. Back was pretty, but I couldn't wear a bra. Just went without.

HOT!
Showstopper of a dress. Tons of compliments. Nice thick material. I even wore a regular bra with it, as it had clips inside the straps to hold your bra straps in place under the dress straps. Super easy to wear. I wore the 8L. I'm 5'8", 36C, 148 lbs.

Showstopper!
Fun, flirty dress. Super cute. Pretty short, but perfect for New Year's Eve. I'm 5'8" - 140 lbs. 34C. I wore the Medium, with some help from some Spanx and some creative bra solutions. Probably could have worn the Large, but the sleeves were really long and bunched up. There's a very deep V in the back, so a normal bra is not an option. Had to use some stick ons to give me some shape, since I don't have a naturally big chest. If you're booby, you could probably wear this without a bra and be fine. It's lined well, and none of the sequins bothered me at all. Wore it all night and got tons of compliments. Super fun dress.

HO HO HOLIDAYS!
Wore this for a holiday party we were hosting. It was perfect. Flashy, fitted, and I was the hostess with the mostest in this baby. Super fun and comfy. Easy to wear. I'm 5'8", 140 lbs. 34C. I wore the 4. Maybe could have done the 6, but it got a lot bigger in the chest and arm hole area, so I put on my spanx and wore the body hugging 4. Great dress!

Nice.
This dress is very nice. It's very structured, and made of thick fabric. I was going to a conservative event, so it was appropriate for that. Not the most flattering dress I've ever worn, but ok. There is no give to this dress. I needed the bigger size to get it zipped. I'm 5'8" and 140 lbs. 34 C bust. There was ok enty of room in the chest, it's the fitted waistline that has no give.

Gorgeous dress.
This is a gorgeous dress and will definitely turn some heads. Sexy but classy. I received compliments from guys, girls, and even some older women (so you know it wasn't overly revealing)! Just enough to make it interesting. I'm 5'8" tall, 140 lbs, and a 36B... I wore the 8. It was snug in the waist and chest, which was good, because you definitely need a creative bra. I wore some stick on bra pads. Get this dress if you want them be noticed!

Noticable.
Very pretty, flattering, and easy to wear. Stretchy on top, and thicker material around the waist and bottom. I tried to order in a Medium - and Large for my backup, but it wasnt available, so got the small as my backup size. I wore the small! I'm 5'8", 140 lbs, 36B. I just liked that it fit more snug and showed off more curves. Beautiful bright red color, great for a holiday wedding! You do need a decent and smooth bra with it though, as the material is one that will show flaws and textured.

HOME RUN. This dress knocked it out of the park.
I LOVED THIS DRESS. I wore it for a large holiday party we were hosting at our home. If I got one compliment, I got 50. Fun, flirty... hugs you in all the right spots. And yet, super easy to wear. Has some give. I'm 5' 8", 145 lbs, 36 B. I wore the Medium. I will say, the arm holes cut in a little further above my chest than I was expecting. I planned to wear a regular bra, but switched to a strapless, just to be sure my straps didn't show. You could probably do a regular bra though, if necessary. Overall, this dress was a home run. My husband and I were both sad to have to ship it back.

classy, yet sexy.
I rented this for a fundraiser event with a rather conservative crowd. This dress was very pretty, classy, and yet sexy... all while covering up most of me. I'm 5'8" tall, 145 pounds and a 36B. The back is all open, which was fine with my smaller bust - I just didn't wear a bra. I didn't feel the need to pump up my girls in this dress, as the focus is on the lace neck and sleeves. Just a really pretty dress. Great for when you need to dress a tad conservatively, yet still want to stand out.

VaVaVoom!
Rented this for a Masquerade event where the outfits/costumes are known to be a little on the risqué side. This dress was fun and flirty, while still being appropriate. It is pretty short and will show off the girls (especially with a push up bra, as in this pic), so beware if you're going somewhere where that may not be appropriate. I probably would wear this out to a club, but may not be appropriate for a more formal or classy event such as a wedding. Fun dress though. Comfy with some give. Easy to wear.

Fun, flirty dress
This is a great little dress. Fancy without being too formal. Great for a wedding or a nice event. I got tons of compliments on it. I typically would probably wear an 8, but I carry my weight in my belly, and this dress has no give in the waistline. I needed the 10 to get it zipped. Once I did, however, it was a great dress for hiding my mommy pooch!
