It was not my first pick or backup, but ended up being a hit!
I wore this to a summer wedding. I was upset at first because this was not the dress I originally picked, nor was it my backup, but it ended up looking amazing and I received so many compliments. If you are busty I recommend double sided tape because the front was quite low cut on me!

I love it so much I rented it twice!
I am typically a 6 but having just had a baby I sized up to the 8 and 10. I rented it twice-wearing each size once. There wasn't a huge different in length between the sizes - mostly around the mid-section & bust. This dress was perfect for a summer outdoor wedding and conservative enough for my daughter's baptism. Fabric is stretchy and comfy! Love this one - effortlessly chic!

Love this dress! Perfect for a spring wedding!
My only reason for the 4 stars is that some of the beading was unraveling when I received the dress. It's so cute though and perfect for a spring/outdoor wedding. Easy to wear and dance in-good for pear shapes like me.

Cute, statement dress!! Brighter than the pic!
definitely pops! you won't go unnoticed. I instantly received compliments the moment I walked into the party. It's a little brighter than it looks in the picture but since it was the dead of summer and this was for an outdoor party I felt it was perfect. warning for Curvy/Pear shaped girls-it does hug a little around the hips.

Perfect for a conservative day time event
I wore this for my goddaughter's baptism. I ended up wearing the size 4 thought it was a little tight around my waist, it still looked better than the 6. It was perfect for a daytime event and the fabric is very lightweight. I paired it with nude heels, pearls, and a navy cardigan.

Beautiful color - classy!
Great for a spring wedding; wore this with nude heels; the fit is a bit big on the bust. i had to pull out my super padded bra to fill it out. I loved the style otherwise so I made it work. Very classy dress!

Nice, but not my favorite
Just ok but not my favorite. I wasn't crazy about the fabric of the dress-it has very little structure so the dress ends up being very form fitting. I wore this for a rehearsal dinner in December and the fabric just seemed too light weight. Wore with nude heels and a pearl statement necklace.

Perfect for a winter wedding!
Rented the 4 & 6 - the 6 fit a like a glove. Pros: very comfortable, classy, glam. perfect for a winter weddings. I wore with tights and black heels. Great for pear shaped girls since it cinches the waist. Also wore with a regular bra which is always nice. Fabric was beautiful. Cons: only con I can think of was that the zipper was a bit difficult. Other than that, I loved it!

really cute dress!
I loved the sparkle in this dress! I wore it out to the bars after my wedding. I kept all my wedding accessories on & it was the perfect thing to wear for the after party. I would have sized down next time-I wore a 4 and found it big in the waist area. The dress also looked a little worn-like it had been rented many times! Still love it though-I think it's very versatile-would love this one hanging in my closet!

loved wearing this to my rehearsal dinner!
The dress was a perfect combo of dressy/casual for our bbq rehearsal dinner. The style really flattered my pear shape. I am usually between a 4 & 6 - the 6 was wayyyy too big and I had entirely too much extra fabric to make it work. The 4 fit, but was very tight across the bust & under the arms, but it still looked really good! Fabric does not have stretch though, so be wary if you have a large bust. I was worried about not getting the belt because of other reviews, but I got it and it worked perfectly!!

Beautiful color, lovely fabric
I loved the dress. I wore it for my cocktail engagement party. I pared it with black panty hose & heels, and pearl statement necklace almost identical to the model. The fit & frabric were goregous. My only complaint is that the dress looked VERY worn...especially under the arms and along the edge of the bottom. Looks like it need to be "retired!"

Wore this dress for my engagement pictures
The fabric and color is gorgeous. Classic cut that cinches the waist. It was a tiny bit short for what I'm used to, but since the style is so flattering for pear types I didn't mind too much. Wish it was hanging in my closet!

lovely dress!
Rented for a wedding-wore w/ pearls & felt lovely & classy. Very Jackie O! My only reason for 4 stars is that I was in between the sizes (although true to size) and I went with the bigger one, but I felt it made me look a little wider than I hope. I still wish I had it hanging in my closet though!

Rented this dress for an uptown wedding. It's gorgeous! Very form fitting though - I ordered the 4 and the 6. The 4 fit but it was very tight and felt too clubish for a church wedding so i went with the 6. I used the tape to keep the back up and it worked great. Definitely need to bust out the spanx for this one, but overall it was a success!!

obsessed!
rented this dress for a outdoor wedding - it's gorgeous! a little darker in person - it appears more like "persimmon." I ordered the 4 and 6 - the 4 fit like a glove - but I would no recommend for women with large chests. I almost didn't wear a bra, but it ended up fitting fine with one. The draping was a little funny on the front - like some of the stitching had come out, but it didn't bother me too much. Looked great on my olive skin & dark hair! LOVE!

gorgeous dress! I wore with spanx to conceal my tummy, but the draping is beautiful. It's very sexy without revealing too much. I ordered a size 4 and 6 and went with the 6 - my only complaint is that the zipper was SO hard to get down. I thought I was going to rip the dress I had to tug on it so much. Overall it was a hit - perfect for an evening wedding.

cute dress-flattering!
Wore this for a wedding in NOLA. It's a fun party dress, but it is a little shorter than I usually wear. The top was very secure and with the right bra you can show some serious cleavage. Cute & fun!
