Opting out of a floor length gown, I rented this for a friend's black tie wedding. It was a good choice and I still felt very dressy and festive among the floor length gowns. The dress was very comfortable and the pleating in the front is very forgiving. I wore it with nude shoes to keep the focus on the dress and minimal jewelry. The dress says it all -- no need to overdo it. The only negatives about the dress is that the zipper in the back was really hard to pull up and I needed help getting it on and off. The dress is also very revealing in the front and you will have to pin it.

I wore this dress to my friend's summer wedding and received so many compliments. I don't normally wear dresses this color but I was so intrigued by it that I took a chance. I'm glad I did becase the color was spectacular. I wore the dress with very simple and delicate gold necklaces, a gold bangle, and drop earrings. I also decided on nude shoes instead of black shoes -- I thought the black shoes against the color was too harsh. I ordered both the 6 and 8 size but the 8 was too large on top -- it just hung on me. Thankfully the size 6 ended up being the better fit. If you're not tall, I don't recommend this dress for you. I'm 5'7" without heels.

Beautiful dress but it was a tad tight. I recommend going up a size.
