Overall the dress was beautiful, I received lots of compliments, points and stares. I am a curvy size 4, understandably sometimes I require a size 6; not the case of this dress. I could've used a size 4 for my lower half and a 2 on the upper, it was both true to size and too small. I was completely drowning in the bust area, I had to have a bra specially made to be able to fit the dress properly. (Foundation is always important in this case it was lingerie). The material was very nice I liked the alternating sheen of the satin and matte of the tulle also the raw edges. However I had to continuously brush down the layers from coming up or being folded. In the bum area I'm assuming from wear the spacing between the fold was large enough show my skin through the sheer under layer. **The picture of the back of the dress shows the peekaboo as well as 2 upward folds. The length was manageable I'm 5'5 I wore 4 inch heels, dress did not complicated walking, I had to been careful on stairs. The reviews of this dress suggests the use of fashion tape, wish I would have used on a few of the folds it would had made everything look perfect. I would recommend this dress to any bride that wants to look sophisticated well spending under $200.

I rented this dress for upscale all black party on a Sunday before a holiday. Received both dresses on Friday 4L and 6L(based on the recommendation that curvy women should go up a size), I needed regular length but it was not available either size. When trying on the dresses I knew that they were going to be long, I didn't expect to be drowning in the 6L and 4L was only a little bit better. I attempted to have a 2R delivered but due to the holiday the soonest I could receive a dress would be Wednesday. Had no option but to wear the 4L, I have a small waist, flat stomach and I'm not very busty 30D, the top of the dress was very loose. It made me look shapeless not feminine at all, left a gap in the back making it easy to see down the dress. I got very creative with undergarments and body tape and was able to make the dress work. I did receive tons of compliments on the dress, both verbal and nonverbal. Dress was very comfortable, even with the body tape and extra padding. I was able to dance and walk, I did need a little help going up and down the stairs due to the length. I would recommend an eight day rental if your event is in conjunction with the holiday and/or weekend.
