Stunning
Such a beautiful dress!! It is so incredibly flattering! The material is super stretchy so I wish I would have gotten a smaller size so it would be a bit more snug. Will definitely rent again!

Mixed Feelings!
I was very excited for this gown. The color of this dress is stunning but the fit...not so much. I am not abnormally proportioned, however, the dress was pretty loose in the waist. I still wore 0R but it was noticeably loose. My waist is 25 inches for reference. The length was perfect, I am 5.5 and wore 4-inch heels.

You need this dress. Enough said.
I absolutely loved this dress! It could not have been more perfect for my formal engagement photo shoot. This dress is just crazy beautiful! It legitimately has a cape/train which is just so neat. The color is bold and rich. The fit is probably where people struggle with this dress. I am 5.5, 124 lbs, and 32C. I got size 2L and it was perfect. I wore 4inch heels and it barely touched the floor so be mindful of this. I wore a strapless bra (you could probably get away without a bra because it has boning) and the top fit just fine. The hips were somewhat tight but it does have a slit in the back which made walking easy. The dress does not have any stretch so this is something to be mindful of. I would HIGHLY recommend this dress!

Absolutely breathtaking.
This is the kind of dress that will make all of your Cinderella dreams come true! It is gorgeous!! I rented it for my engagement photo shoot and did not end up wearing it only because we ran out of time. This dress is so beautiful! It looks bulky in the pictures but was not so in real life. I am 5.5 125lbs and 32B-C. The 0 fit snugly so I would suggest if you are larger in the chest, consider a size up. The top was lined and had boning so a bra was not needed. The skirt is to die for! It is so full and had a slit as seen in one of my pictures. I really wanted to keep this dress! It is definitely my favorite rental to date!

Not my favorite dress
This dress swallowed me up and then some. It was very very thick and felt like a blanket. Because it was so thick, it did not show off anything. It made my waist a few inches too wide and was just overall bulky. It did not want to stay up due to the weight of the dress so I did not end up wearing it. I am 5.5 and 125lbs and rented size 0. If you do rent this one, do size down or order your regular size. The material has some stretch!

a stunner!
I loved this dress! I wore it to a wedding and it definitely stood out in sea of neutral dresses. This dress is true to size. It flows beautifully and was so easy and fun to dance in. I am 5.5 and wore 4inch heels. The long would have made it hard to move, so plan accordingly. The only downside of the dress is the bust area. I am a 32B-C and it was quite large. It also a significantly plunging cut, so be prepared to show some cleavage. I ended up pinning the shoulder straps with safety pins and using fashion tape, that was okay, but restricted some movement of my arms. If you are fuller in the bust this might be the perfect dress for you!

Showstopper of a dress!
This dress is a stunner!! I rented it before in a size 2 but it was too small in the hips and it was a no go. This time, I sized up to a 4 and it fit alright. I am 5.5 and about 124lbs. The hips on the 4 were pretty tight, sitting down for a long time was not the most enjoyable thing, but not painful. Since I sized up, the top was a bit loose. I pinned the straps with safety pins, and it held up well. This dress is heavy and flows with you. It is a perfect mix of elegant, edgy, and sexy. I wore it to a NYE gala and received compliments all night long. I will definitely rent it again!

C+
I wanted to LOVE this dress, but unfortunately it did not live up to the beautiful pictures. First and foremost, the detail on this dress is exquisite! The gown is a nude color and I thought a little darker than the pictures (very pretty!). The disappointment came in the bottom tulle section. It appears fluffy and full on the model in the pictures, however it was one layer of crinoline, one layer of very soft tulle, and one layer of regular tulle. These layers are all different colors and did not stay. They had tears throughout and just lay there all flat. I steamed the bottom and tried to fluff them up (see picture) and it helped but I thought the bottom could have used 3 more layers of tulle. The last disappointment was the length. I am 5.5 and it touched the ground without heels. With heels above 2 inches, the shoes were very visible. If you are over 5.5 and want to wear heels, get the long!

Very flattering
You cannot go wrong with this dress. It hides all your imperfections. The material is pretty stretchy and is forgiving.

Sparkle heaven
This was such a beautiful dress! The fit was phenomenal. It is very stretchy like other reviewers have mentioned. The back is low but I was able to wear a normal bra with it and it didn't show. I would recommend spanx under it as it is really form fitting and not very forgiving. Im 5.5" and got this in OR and OL and went with the L because with the R, the train was invisible because the dress barely touched the floor. I would recommend the long for anyone over 5.4 if you're planning on wearing heels.
