Very pretty dress but for a less formal occasion
I decided not to wear this to a black tie wedding because I was looking for more of a glamorous look, but I would definitely rent it for a less formal affair. It fit like a glove, very comfortable and secure. No bra needed if you’re small chested. The embroidery is very pretty.

Glamorous for a black tie affair.
Loved wearing this to a black tie wedding. I felt so glamorous, it was the perfect combo of class with just a touch of sexy. The hot pink color is fabulous and I got compliments all night! In regards to sizing, the length was perfect and straps are adjustable if needed. I’m very small up top so the XS fit nicely with sticky cups to give some shape. I’m wider on the bottom and it was pretty tight around the hips and butt, but I added some shape wear and it laid perfectly. Of note, the front slit is pretty high so be aware when sitting down! I had to put a purse on my lap to cover up! Also, it is not the easiest to move in if you’re one to break it down on the dance floor, so would go with a different dress if you’re a dancer. I would absolutely rent again for another “non-dancing all night” event though!

Way too big in chest
Loved the dress, quality of material, and style, but it was wayyyy too big in the chest. Fit well through hips and rib cage, but I wasn't even close to filling out the halter portion. If you are very small chested, try something else. Couldn't wear it unfortunately.

Want to buy this dress!
LOVED this dress. It was the perfect length with 3'' heels and fit like a glove. Felt elegant with a little edge to it from the cut outs. I am pear shaped with a small chest, 5'4'' and typically size 2 or 4. Hugged my curves in all the right places without making me self-conscious. Definitely recommend this dress, would buy it if I could!

Awesome party dress!
I rented this dress for a wedding and it was fantastic - fun, flirty, and youthful, but fancy enough to pass for black-tie optional. I wore a size 4, which fit very nicely, but would have preferred a size 2, as I am small busted with a small waist and had some room to go down a size. Regardless, the dress is soooo comfortable, very soft inner lining, you can wear a bra, and the fit is super flattering on any body-type. The toulle skirt puffed out just enough to be fun and flirty, it didn't look ballerina-esque or "fru-fru" at all. Many reviewers commented on how short the skirt was, but I thought it was perfect for my 5'4'' height with 3.5" heels - and I am not a girl who is comfortable in super short skirts. It hit mid thigh and the back was kinda short when you sit down, but I was up dancing the whole night and was not self-conscious at all. Some reviewers also mentioned the toulle was a little tattered and the lace had a few tears, which was true, but only I could tell and it made no difference whatsoever in pictures. No one noticed but me. In summary, I absolutely LOVED this dress, am considering purchasing it, and my husband thought I looked super hot:)

Pretty, but way too long
I rented this dress for a black tie wedding at the Plaza in NYC. The pro: I was hoping for an elegant, classy look to go along with the location, so the long gown with pretty chiffon material was great. The red-orange color with sweetheart neck also allowed me to standout amongst many black dresses. The con: the dress was so long I could barely walk or dance without tripping over the material and had to hold it up all night. I am 5'4'' and was wearing 3 1/2'' heels. I typically don't rent/buy long gowns for exactly this reason.

Awesome fit!
Wore this dress to my own rehearsal dinner the night before my wedding and loved it. The dress itself is plain, but it is the perfect platform for jazzing it up with awesome accessories! (I wore it with a very bright and colorful collar necklace and glittery gold heels.) The material is thick to hide any imperfections you're self-conscious about, and snug in a "hold you in" kind of way. The cut is very flattering for hourglass or pear shape bodies and flares at just the right moment to emphasize a small waist. Would re-rent this dress in a second as the perfect little black dress.

Beautiful, comfortable, and feminine
Wore this dress for my medical school graduation last May. Just special enough, the dress was my favorite shade of purple with very pretty feminine lace detail that fit the occasion perfectly without being overly dramatic. I felt very comfortable all day (both indoor and outdoor), easy to move, walk, and sit. Dress ran true to size. Great for girls like me with little waists and smaller up top, but bigger hips. Felt beautiful all day!

Pretty earrings, but they are HUGE
I ended up not wearing these earrings because they were way more enormous than I thought from the picture. Great color, but just too big.

Great dress! So comfortable.
I ordered this dress for a non-black tie wedding and it was perfect! It runs small over the hips so the size 4 fit better than the 2. It's really good for small-chested girls, like me, who don't need to wear a bra. Got lots of compliments and it was super comfortable!!!

Defective zipper, but cute dress!
I ordered this dress for a bachelorette party but couldn't wear it due to a defective zipper. Hence, the one star. If the zipper worked, the size 2 fit better than 4, which hung too much like a bag off my body.

Great bridal shower dress!
Wore this dress to my own bridal shower and it was perfect. Comfortable, feminine, great color, and gots tons of compliments! I am always self conscious about my hips and this dress was very slimming. It showed off my slender waist instead. Great cut for girls who are larger on the bottom and smaller on top.
