Great dress, especially the back!
I thought this dress was fantastic. Fit great. Beautiful, the back was stunning. Worked perfectly for a Speakeasy 20s themed event.

Mercury Sequin Dress
Diane von Furstenberg
Size Worn: 16R
Usual Size: 16

Simplistically glam
I liked the dress very much. I felt comfortable. I am a person who usually wears professional clothing, so this was still appropriate but glam and bombshell. The back is a little low and showed my bra. I imagine ideally one would wear a backless bra.

Night at the Oscars Gown

Cute dress, little bland
I liked the dress. It definitely necessitated sprucing up with a statement necklace. Also, the top half seemed disproportionately large. I felt like I was constantly tugging up the dress to hide my bra inside the armpit holes.

Wore this dress for an Alice in Wonderland themed cocktail party...PERFECT!
The color and fabric are fabulous. The dress was stretchy and comfortable, yet still eye catching.

Great color!
The color pops! The dress was a little clingy in the midsection and a little big in the boobs for me, but overall, I really liked the dress.

Super cute and understated.
Wore this dress to a black-tie optional wedding and it worked great. Possible to dress up the dress without being TOO formal. Comfortable.

Such A Tease Dress
Elizabeth and James
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 11"
Bust: 36C
Too Small
The dress did not fit. I wore my back up dress. When the reviews say the dress has no stretch, the dress REALLY has no stretch. The material is like a plasticy polyester material. It's a beautiful dress; I just expected a heavier material from the picture. It really is a very pretty dress but the material does not feel like $2000.

Take The Throne Gown
Vera Wang
Size Worn: 12L
Usual Size: 16

Sophisticated and fun!
Loved this dress. I felt very sophisticated and chic, yet still fun. I would say I am somewhere between a 12 and a 14, and went with the 14 for a more comfortable fit but the dress runs pretty true to size if not a little on the small side. The fabric is a really great bright floral print that is more far spectacular in person than in the picture. I would highly recommend this dress.

Cute and casual!
I rented this as a back up and ended up not wearing it, but it was super cute! It was too casual for the party for which I rented it. The dress was very comfortable, light and stretchy...and fun!

I wore this dress to my bridal shower and it was PERFECT!
The dress was definitely longer than it appeared on the model. I also can imagine on a shorter person the straps would be long but on someone my height, they were just a tad long. The fabric was heavy and a little itchy but the dress was super cute! Such a cute, flirty party dress. Definitely perfect for a bride for any wedding related functions. I got a ton of compliments on the dress, and outfit in general, at my bridal shower!

Wedding Cake Dress

Wonderful!
I wore this necklace with the Wedding Cake Dress by ERIN BY ERIN FETHERSTON to my bridal shower, and the two worked perfectly. I got a ton of compliments on the necklace. The jewels were brighter and more sparkly than the picture, which doesn't do the necklace justice. The necklace was a little heavy and irritated my chest a little but I would say as long as you're not wearing the necklace for HOURS, it's nothing that's unbearable.

Literally everyone complimented me on how fabulous the dress was!
Definitely short on someone 5'11 so I wore the dress with black hosiery, which also added some glamour and drama. Loved the back of the dress. Very flattering and comfortable actually!

Jetsetter Dolman Dress

I did not end up wearing this dress.
I didn't end up wearing this dress - I wore my backup dress. This dress was super cute but for someone 5'11, looking to wear the dress to a wedding it was WAY too short, like barely covered up the backside. I agree with what someone said previously - the zipper never really laid right and the extra straps for hanging the dress kept sliding to a visible spot through the mesh.
