This is a high quality dress, and feels like a designer gown should feel. Very easy to wear and comfortable. This dress photographs well and is very flattering! I was afraid it might be too simple, but it turned out to be more beautiful than I had imagined. Perfect for our formal military ball.

I loved wearing this dress! The fit was great, which made wearing no bra no problem with the open back. I felt comfortable and enjoyed the pockets in the skirt too. I am a little short, so the back of the dress was longer on me than it looks on the model, however a wedge heel did the trick to keep the skirt off the ground. The fabric is VERY thick, which I liked, but my husband couldn't help but compare the dress to a quilt or a couch several times (haha)...I definitely see where he is coming from. Quilt-y or not, the heavy fabric makes for a nice structured look. Would rent again.

This is a fun dress that could easily be dressed up or down. Overall it was a comfortable fit, and a high quality with a nice lining and cute embroidery details. The skirt is a bit pouffy, but I think that makes the dress fun. I felt like the waist was a little bit roomy in the size 4, but it was definitely still wearable. I rented this dress as a backup dress for a wedding, but ended up wearing it wine tasting instead and dressing it down.

I was super excited about this dress, but after trying it on I found it was such a bad fit for my body type. The cutout on the side was all wrong, and there was excess fabric in the stomach area that created a "pooch". I felt like it highlighted everything I wanted to hide, and hid everything I wanted to highlight. Overall I was disappointed in this one, but luckily I had a backup style to wear instead! This dress would probably work better or a shorter torso person. I have a long torso and it didn't work for me.

This dress runs a little small, so size up to be safe. Im between a 2 and 4, so the size 4 ended up working out for me. The dress is well made and the color is so fun! I would definitely rent again. I felt sexy yet sophisticated.

You guys, this dress has pockets!! And I was able to wear a normal bra! How great is that?! This dress is super easy to wear, very comfortable, yet so elegant! The high low cut and "spider webbing" really make it stand out. Lots of compliments! I would go one size down if I were to rent this again. It was wearable, but could have been even more flattering in the waistline if it was a bit more fitted.

I received so many complements in this dress, and it was perfect for the formal Navy Ball we attended. It is a classy fit, with some modern flare. Overall very flattering! I rocked it with red lips and channeled my inner TSwift :) However, be warned! There is LITERALLY NO BRA POSSIBLE when wearing this dress. Other reviewers warned about this, but for some reason I didn't believe them... turns out it is true! In order to avoid some mild underboob from showing I did some magic with tape that kept things more modest. It worked out great, but be aware of this! Overall, love the dress - I wish I could keep it forever!

I wore this dress to Dining Out with my boyfriends squadron and received many compliments! The dress is comfortable and the open back is gorgeous. I did use dress tape to secure my boobs, as I had a bit more cleavage going than I thought I would in this dress. The tape helped to keep things in place and keep the straps positioned. Overall it was beautiful and exactly what I was looking for! Highly recommend!
