Perfect spring dress
Very cute, but a little lower in the back than I was expecting.

Wore it to brunch with girlfriends. - tons of compliments
Agree with other reviewers, it does run large. The small was a perfect fit. Paired it with leather leggings and a long sleeve light sweater.

Great color, too heavy
I got these to go with a teal dress. Right color, but they were very heavy. I couldn't wear them for more than an hour.

Figure flattering without being too flashy
I wore this to my husband's holiday office party. It was festive but modest and the lace had just the right amount of gold. I'd definitely rent this one again.

Perfect amount of sparkle for an outdoor December wedding
I wore it with black tights since the length was a bit shorter than I was expecting, but it looked great. I got a lot of complements and was super comfortable all night.

Stand out for all the right reasons
I wore this for a 'Royal Wedding' themed bridal shower where all the guests doned fascinators. I got a ton of compliments on the color and style of the dress. It fit perfectly and hit about mid-thigh. The fabric was light (not hot) and the belt did a nice job adding shape. The only downside was how it wrinkled after sitting in it for a while, but it wasn't too bad.

Classy, perfect for my bridal luncheon
I was thrilled with how this dress looked for my bridal luncheon. I thought it may be too formal and not appropriate for a sunny, mid-day event - but it really looked great.

Great dress to stand out in
I rented this along with another dress for a wedding weekend (a black one for my bridesmaid dress and this one for the rehearsal dinner). This dress was just perfect. Very comfortable, and I got a lot of compliments. Be sure to wear a strapless bra and nude undergarments. The fabric is sheer, but not see-through.

Wore this for my bridal shower and it was perfect for the event. The dress does have a good bit of sparkle to it, but it's not over the top. I went a size up (from and 8 to a 10) so the chest wouldn't be too restrictive for a 36 C, but ended up using the size 8 belt to better accent my waist.

Great fit and no worries about dry cleaning.
I rented this to wear as a bridesmaid dress for a fall wedding. The fit was great and easy to wear all day. The fabric held up very well through sitting and dancing. Plus the pockets were very handy to hold tissues and emergency lip gloss.
