LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!
I absolutely LOVED this dress! I love the colors and the fit (though I don't remember which size I wore at the time, assuming the 6, because I was a bit heavier ... I was waiting to see if there were any decent pictures from the wedding I could include since I forgot to get a photo). I would buy this I loved it so much. Great for a hot summer wedding, super flattering, can't recommend it enough!

Looks fantastic with orange!
Rented this (as suggested) with the Trina Turk Summer Lovin Swirl Dress. I loved it! I don't own anything in this shade and I thought it went wonderfully with the orange and cream dress. Not heavy and great color.

Bust is super tight!
Wow the top of this dress is SMALL! Everything else fit perfectly if I sized up, but thought the top would be too tight knowing I'd have it on for a full day. Great silhouette and fun details for a daytime event, but I'd seriously consider going up 2 sizes next time.

Back-up size was too big
Ordered the 6 and 8, but the 6 wasn't shipped (not received in time or damaged). Tried on the 8 and while it fit, positioning the middle band where I wanted (slightly higher than how it hung) made the straps too long. It was also a bit shorter than I would have preferred for our July 4th events (which included biking to a few bars), so I passed on this one. Loved the pockets, would be cute for another event!

Cute and flattering!
I am normally a size 6, but definitely needed the size 8 in this dress - the bow part had no give, and was just a tad too tight for me to wear for several hours for a wedding (I have a large ribcage / shoulders which made the waist too tight). The 8 wasn't available when I needed it, so I chanced it on the 6, and ended up not wearing it. Loved the pockets and the skirt portion (the top was okay, not crazy about the fit of the neckline / arm holes / top portion in general), would definitely rent (the correct size) again!

Pretty and elegant!
I wore this for my boyfriend's work end-of-the-year/holiday party/celebration. I need something pretty and fun, but conservative, since we're hanging out with the C suite plus meeting his employees and their significant others. This was perfect, if not a little long on 5'3. I ended up wearing the L (I gained a few pounds over the holidays) so I didn't even try on the medium, and probably would have been more comfortable in even an XL! I was constantly tugging at the neckline though and felt like the V was just very deep on me, but it was comfortable and the long sleeves were perfect for January.

Did not work.
Oh, this was awful. I only tried on the larger size I ordered (8). The wrists were a bit snug and the bell-bottom of the sleeves were way too long; would have gotten into everything I ate. The lining has no give to it, which is fine, but whoa it was SHORT! Even with tights I couldn't wear it and I'm 5'3. This one just did not work out for me.

Loved this dress!
I wore the medium and loved it. It was comfortable to wear all night and was quite flattering. However, the neckline is much lower than anything I normally wear and was constantly pulling it up all night. Also, the way the sparkly part is sewn to the sides/shoulders makes it kinda bunchy and scratchy at that seam, so I had to pull up the sleeves in order to make that arm seam (like front of shoulder) more comfortable. I would rent this again.

Diving In Deep Dress

Fantastic color!
Rented for a wedding in wine country. I LOVE this color and that is what initially drew me to it. I typically wear a 4 or 6 and wore the 4 (6 wasn't available). The only problem I had with it was the ribbon part under the bust was too tight. The lining certainly did bunch up a bit, and sure it did wrinkle a bit, but that didn't really bother me. It was about to my knees and halfway through the evening I pinned a couple of the ruffles together. I would rent it again!

Cute but didn't fit
Overall the dress fit true to size but the top was too big on me. Didn't fit on small boobs, there was just too much extra fabric I couldn't fill out.
