I got tons of compliments on the dress before we ever got to the venue!
The colors and style were perfect for an outdoor wedding. It was outside on one of the hottest and most humid days of the year but I was still ok with the long length. The top has boning and as a result I didn't need to wear a bra (which helped keep me cooler). It did take another person to help zip me up, the ribbon accent is what is tricky to "zip over". I loved it! The one thing I thought was odd was that the tag didn't say "long" on it. It just gave the size so I am assuming it was the correct length. I wore a wedge heel and the dress was maybe half an inch off the ground which worked fine for me.

Tons of compliments, very flattering!
The dress was a great option for an awards dinner . I am 5'10 (with a 33 inseam) so it was on the short side, but not inappropriate. I wore a nude bra and you could not see it through the mesh back. It also had criss- cross straps so they were not visible either. The dress has some nice stretch to it and was very flattering.

Such a pretty dress!
While I hate the photo of myself, I loved the dress. It was a July wedding and this dress was perfect. It is super light fabric. I needed a second set of hands to zip it, it got "stuck" at the waist. The waist was very true to size, the bust was a touch big and I was self conscious about the people sitting behind me in church (that's what wraps are for). It was a little short. I'm tall but in a disproportionate sort of way with an average torso, but long legs (34 in inseam), so the length may just be a tall girl issue (not so much that I didn't wear heels). Even so it didn't fell inappropriately short, just noticeable (mostly just to me).

So flattering
I rented this necklace as an accent for the dress I rented (also picture). It was great. The dress pushed my bust up, and the necklace camouflaged my unexpected cleavage nicely. It was very pretty, but a little bit heavy. I would rent it again.

I Loved it!
I ordered the 4 and the 6, but at the last minute I got an e-mail saying the 6 was returned damaged ( as a result I got to pick a free second dress). I think the 6 would have been perfect, but I managed with the 4. It definitely required an extra set of hands to zip me up and the waist band has no give (it's ribbon) so taking a deep breath became a luxury. The smaller size pushed my bust up so if you have more on top than I do it may have been too much. I received a ton of compliments and the pockets were awesome and placed well so as not to accentuate hips. I would definitely rent this again!
