Fun yet classic dress!
I absolutely adored this dress. I would've worn the 18 (or maybe even 16) but it wasn't in stock and I just had a baby so I'm self conscious about things being tight. The material is expensive and heavy, great for a fall Michigan wedding with outdoor activities like we attended. It fits true to size so make sure you don't go up, it tends to get baggy up top and in the arms. It's a definite conversation topic and hit. Would rent again in an instant.

Very figure flatter dress!
I didn't end up wearing it because I ordered as my backup style but it was incredible- and it's not often I pick two dresses that I love BOTH. This was perfect in all of the right areas. Great materials, great figure and great length. Highly recommend.

Beautiful dress!
It was TIGHT up top. Like unbreathable tight. Which was unfortunate because it was beautiful and such a cute cut. I was traveling for work so I didn't have time to exchange by the time I got home before the event, but I would recommend it in the right size.

The dress was truly classy with an ounce of sass.
It was a little large on me, but I always welcome the extra room for my chest (38G). It was so comfortable, a great length, and quality material. The "cape" as my husband calls it was one of my favorite features.

Perfect, in every way.
I loved these. So fun and fancy! A little larger/heavier than I expected but didn't scare me. The statement they made made it very easy for me to wear no other jewelry other than my ring because they were so standout!

Beautiful dress that accentuates curvy girls well!
I didn't wear the dress. It was sent because my size in the one I truly ordered wasn't available. This dress is BEAUTIFUL. Very elegant and classy. The only reason I didn't wear it because the material is not forgiving. Definitely a snug, sexy fit, which is not what I was going for.

The dress was lovely, classy and elegant!
I technically wear a 16 waist, and 18 mostly because I have a (38G) chest. The 18 did not come in with the order like scheduled, so I went with the 20WL. I'm SUPER glad I read the reviews and got the long. I stand about 5'9" and wore barely a 1-2" heel and it did NOT touch the ground. (I cannot imagine where a regular length falls.) It was loose, to be imagined, and I actually had to pin the top of the dress to my strapless bra because it was loose and saggy, but I'm telling you, it was comfortable, classy and super fun. I could move and dance and sit and chat. Never worried about anything. You can dress it up with drop earrings and heels, or dress it down with flats and more casual jewels. I would definitely recommend ordering true to size. It was one of my favorite rentals to date and I could only imagine my expectations if they actually had my size. :)

Perfect last puzzle piece to wrap entire outfit together!
It was wonderful, light-weight and fun. A hint of sparkle, without being over the top. Definitely would rent again.

Beautiful dress, very eye-catching and flowy!
This dress was a bit tight for me in the rib cage and bust. It doesn't concern me very much, as I have a very large chest (bigger than 38DD), so most dresses this is my problem area. As far as cinching the waist and flattering the hips, it was WONDERFUL! Highly recommend.

Super fun, glamorous addition to any outfit!
They are clip-on! I must've missed that somewhere- which would be my fault, but it totally threw me off. They were decently heavy and uncomfortable after 7 hours, but that includes dancing and what not of a wedding. I LOVED the look, and received many compliments.

LOVED THESE!
As a fan of studs, versus chandeliers earrings, I REALLY like these. Subtle but sparkly. Great with any look!

Great Dress, Comfortable!
Unfortunately for me, I ordered too big and my actual size was out, my fault for ordering so late! It was a great dress, but because it was too big, it never stretched and took the "ruched" look, it merely looks like several pick-ups everywhere. The fit was slimming and looked great, definitely order your size and one down for ultimate look!
