Gorgeous Dress
Not much stretch with this dress. THE bust was a bit snug, the remainder of the dress fit well. Easy to walk and sit with dress due to side slit.

Fabulous mermaid gown. Definitely a stunning dress that will turn heads.
Rented this gown for a fundraising gala event. It runs small and has no stretch. I did order the large dress as a backup option, however, I was swimming in the large. I wore the medium. Navigating stairs was tough. Able to sit and dance without issues. Able to wear without bra due to boning, but if you choose, the thick straps will allow you to wear a regular bra. Will hug your curves, perfect if you are an hourglass-shaped gal.

Great statement earrings.
These earrings made my outfit. Not too heavy. The sparkle and multiple colors crystals just are so pretty. Don't hesitate to rent these earrings.

Lovely fall dress. Runs large, size down.
So glad my backup was sized down. I usually wear an 8, the size 8 was a bit frumpy. The size 6 fit great and that was the size I chose to wear to my nephew's Confirmation service. Very comfortable. The pockets are hidden well and do not add additional bulk. I wear this with a pair of black heeled maryjane shoes due to rain on the day of the event, however sandals would have also worked.

Lovely summer dress.
Loved this dress so much I bought it. Fitted ruched bodice and tiered bottom. The straps were a tad long, but I did a quick at home alteration. Would be great for a tropical vacation.

A lacy version of the LBD
I rented this dress for an informal wedding in October in Chicago. Because it was rented pretty close to the event date my options for back up sizes were limited. I typically wear a size 8. I rented the 8 and a 12 as the size 10 was unavailable. (8/10 are my usual rental size options) I was able to wear the size 8, but felt the top was a little snug in the bust. (30FF-G for reference) I wore the size 12 for more wiggle room, if the 10 was available it would have been perfect. I found that clear straps on a convertible bra are a must for this dress, or a strapless bra if you prefer. Very comfortable, able to play a few rounds of bocce ball and dance without any problems. The dress does have some stretch to it. Loved that the lace pattern on the dress was busy so I didn't have to worry about accessories. I wore this with a pair of black flats. I found the length of the dress just right, but I'm only 5'3", it may be short if you are on the taller side. A great LBD option if you love lace.

Great dress to go from Church to Party.
I wore this to my Godson's First Holy Communion this past May. I needed a dress that was nice enough for the Church Service and not too fancy to be over dressed for a party hosted at the parent's home. This was perfect. I found this dress ran big, I wore my backup which is a Small, instead of the medium. The other issue as it only came in regular sizing, the dress is long for petite gals. I wore 4 inch wedges to Church and that worked out very well. However I wore flats at the party. I remedied the situation easily, I wore an elastic black belt and bloused the top to shorten the dress. The silk is top quality. Loved how the dress flattered my hourglass shape.

Great statement necklace
Wore it with a dress with a sweetheart neckline. Looked great. Not too heavy and the adjustable closure will work with a variety of necklines. The stones are a very vivid coral color.

Scuba material very comfy, the pattern helps hide trouble spots
Rented for a wedding. I wanted something with a bold pattern, and this dress was perfect. Top fit my large bust (30G) without any difficulty. The placement of the stripes hit at the navel, perfect for those gals with hourglass shapes. May be an issue for gals with long torso though. For my frame the waist was a tad loose, but not a deal breaker. The scuba material had a lot of stretch, so the dress was very comfortable to wear to the Church and reception afterwards. The material is thick, so no need to wear SPANX. However it may be too thick to wear in the middle of summer. Length was perfect as well, hit at the knee. Paired it with black wedges, black handbag, and coral necklace.
