I rented this dress for a surgery residency graduation and it was the perfect dress for the occasion; I also got compliments all night, including that It made me look tall, which is something that has never been said to me as I'm 5'3". It did run small. I'm usually a 0 in dresses and the bottom half of the XS was a bit too tight. I wore the S, which was a bit too big in the top, but not the end of the world. I probably would not have purchased this dress because the overall fit was inconsistent, but for one night it was fine.

I loved wearing this dress. It ran true to size and the 4R fit me like a glove. Yes, tape is required for this dress, but I only had to reapply once during the night. The dress I wore did appear to be hemmed, however, and not done very well; the back of the dress gathered a little oddly in the back, on both sides of the slit. It wasn't a big deal, but that dress wasn't exactly perfect. And I'm only 5'3", and wore lower heels. If I was taller or wore sky high heels the dress probably would have been too short. It worked perfectly for me though.

I rented this dress for a holiday party and have no complaints. The 0 fit well and the length was fine, despite that I'm only 5'3". It wasn't a showstopper but the ruffle gave it enough to make it more interesting than an average lbd, and I was comfortable all night.

This dress was fine, although like others have mentioned, the under skirt fit weird. It wants to ride up and looks really bad when it does. The rest of the size 0 dress fit me fine. Maybe if I wasn't pear shaped I wouldn't have had the problem. The size 2 was too big. Returned.

Several have mentioned that you may need fashion tape for this dress. I am a 32A so rented it assuming I would need tape. I did get compliments all night but I did not enjoy wearing this dress at all. My chest was just too small to make this dress wok, even with tape. The layers of the dress and natural folding of the material made it impossible - the tape wouldn't stay. I was dealing with the tape showing and constantly readjusting and/or reapplying it all night. If you're an A cup, I'd just avoid it altogether; it's not worth it.

I rented this dress last minute so I don't know if it would have been my first choice, but it worked fine. I did get a good number of compliments and it was comfortable.

Only the long was available in 0, so I rolled the dice and hoped for the best. It did drag a little on the floor but because of the high low style, I didn't have a problem walking in the dress. The zipper was a bit of a problem as others mentioned. The dress fit fine so it wasn't a matter of squeezing into something too small. I have no idea why the zipper was so difficult, but I couldn't do it alone. It took my husband several minutes to get it up. But once I was in, I had no problems the rest of the night.

I rented this dress for a rehearsal dinner and thought it was a good choice for this type of event. I did think that it runs small though. I wore the Small when I'm typically a 0 and it just fit. Liked the sleeves and neckline.

This dress was huge and hung like a heavy bag when on. It was not remotely flattering! Returned.

The reviews are right. No one would ever guess this is a jumpsuit. And while I enjoyed wearing it, it probably would be better if it was actually a dress, as trying to use the bathroom requires work and help in and out of it. But the back was amazing and for an evening out, it's definitely worth it. It was extremely heavy in the hanger but felt fine on. And I loved the pockets. The only negative, the top was a little too big for me and I had no way to fix it. If I had a slightly larger bust or could somehow shorten the straps, the fit would have been perfect.

I rented this for a work holiday party and thought it was a good choice. The shear back was great as was the cut of the cap sleeves. The copper color made the dress a feel bit more festive for the holidays.

I loved the fit of this dress. I did need a small amount of fashion tape for the bust, but overall the dress was great. I got tons of compliments. Small mention that because this dress is long in the back, there was some fraying and wear showing in the hem. Not a big deal for one night and no one but me noticed.

I thought this dress ran big. I wore the smallest size and still thought it needed to be smaller in the waist. I had to wear a belt to nip it in; it looked weird without it. I thought the length was fine for me in heels. I think I lucked out though, if I were a little taller or shorter, the length probably would have been an issue.

From the reviews it seemed that this dress ran small so I ordered the 2 and 4. I found it not to be small at all. I wore the 2 and it was fine but I wish I had the 0 to try. The back was great and the sequins gave it something but weren't overly shiny. I'm really glad I chose this dress for my bachelorette party.

I wore this skirt with a chambray shirt for my engagement pictures. I loved the fit and the amount of flare was perfect. I didn't find the length odd at all on me.

This dress definitely runs large. Right now, I'm a pretty standard size 2, but I found the 2 to be way to big. The 0 actually fit perfectly, and wasn't small anywhere - even in the arms, which other reviewers sounded like they had issues with. I was able to dance - until late into the night - without a problem. I was stopped about this dress over and over. One girl even asked if it was from RTR! It was a unanimous hit! I loved pairing it with ladylike hair and tougher gunmetal/pearl accessories. I'd definitely wear it again.

This is a great party dress. The volume of the skirt was fantastic and I loved the texture of the fabric. I found the length to be perfect. It ran a little big, however and I needed to use fashion tape to make sure the top didn't slip on me. The 0 probably would have fit better, but wasn't available. I added my own belt to tighten the fit around my waist a little and I was happy with the fit for a night. Overall, the dress was fun enough to make these modifications worth it.
