Cute Dress But Size Up For The Cups
Wanted this to be cute. The cups are a little close together and stuck out a little weird for me. The straps are elastic but have no way to tighen, so with the dress as heavy as it is, the gravity pulled the straps down which made the close-cups sag? It was a mess. I'm not busty by any means but I've got broad shoulders and an athletic frame. Unless you're petite with perfect breasts, this will be a tough one.

Feminine and Flattering
Wore this to a wedding and got a TON of compliments! The top was a bit big / loose, but a good push-up strapless bra took care of that. One note -- the back is LONG. It drags more like a train. I'm 5'6 and wore 3 inch heels, and I had o do some sweeping / holding it up during dancing. There were a few small holes in the train of my dress -- likely from previous renters having the same problem! -- but if you're a taller girly 5'8 or over, I think you'd be fine.

Fits beautifully and super flattering!
The color up close is more of a mint green, and it's BEAUTIFUL. I'm normally between a 6/8. Chose the 8 here because there's not a lot of give in the shoulders and I have broad ones, but it's super comfortable, and the tiers give you lots of flattering eating room!

Not as “shift” like if you have hips!
I’m a size 6, but often have to size up to 8 for things without stretch as I have curvy / muscular hips and thighs. I ordered the size 8 in this just to be safe. The top was falling off my shoulders and chest because it was stop large, and I could barely get it down and over my hips. Just didn’t look as sheath-like or flowy as it does on the model. If you’re ordering, I recommend a size up and a backup another size up.

Sleek and sexy
This dress gives you a super sexy shape -- no spanx needed! The only downside for me was the arms. I have a pretty muscular frame, and it took a little extra elbow grease to pull the dress up my arms and over my shoulders. I ended up going with the backup dress I ordered because it was too much effort. There's not much give in the dress, so if your arms are like mine, size up!

Fierce & Flirty
I absolutely ADORED this dress! I never thought I could pull off a romper, but I ordered this on a whim for my birthday and I'm so glad I did! I felt sexy, confident and super chic. Tons of compliments on the cut and style. I did have to use a safety pin for the open area around the chest (I'm pretty busty and was spilling out a little toooo much), but it was a quick fix and I was good to go. Definitely renting this again!

Fun & Flirty...but so tight!
The dress was absolutely gorgeous...but has no give whatsoever! I was a college athlete and have a very muscular frame...and had a hard time zipping the dress over my butt, and pulling the sleeves up over my arms! The waist fit perfectly, but I was too scared to wear the dress out. I didn't want the seams to split and give a room full of strangers an eye-full! Definitely recommend going up a size for gals with curves.

Pretty LBD, but a little too tight
I have a big butt and buff arms. The dress actually made my bottom look pretty nice, but I couldn't get the sleeves up over my arms! They're a lot narrower than they look on the model and with zero give in the material. A bummer - the dress is super cute! I wish I would have rented a size or two up.

Spicing things up for summer.
I ordered a medium because the reviews so far said true to size, but because the material is so stretchy, it actually ran a bit big. I recommend ordering the next size down as your back-up. Also - ladies, please note that the model is around 5'10. If you're shorter, the dress will be longer...AND the plunge will be lower. The neck was...erm...quite a bit lower than what is normally wedding-appropriate, so I had to make some magic with a couple of safety pins. Still, all-in-all, a sexy dress!

Beautiful, large drop earrings that add elegance to any dress!
I did the surprise "let us style you" bag, and was so glad when I saw these. They are absolutely beautiful and went perfectly wtih both dresses I ordered. They are, however, much larger than they appear in the photo, but not unmanageably so. Little heavy on the ear, so if you're going to wear them all day, get a back ear support!

Fun and Flirty!
Great dress for the event. Lots of compliments. It does run a little short though -- I had to wear tights under the dress, but it turned out looking perfectly appropriate for a winter wedding.
