Pretty
Wore this for a Bat Mitzvah- very pretty and flowy, but like others have mentioned it gaps weirdly at the armpit/chest area. I used some fashion tape to keep it down. Overall very comfortable for a night of dancing and moving around. Paired with a pretty mauve scarf for the ceremony to be more covered.

Love this dress
Print is beautiful- fit is great- I love a good shirt dress- belt feels a little more elevated with the gold hardware vs. just a tie belt. Wore this to a party as well as to work- lots of compliments- and it has extra buttons so no gapping between buttons. Pockets are great too- very hidden in the skirt.

Great bag for eveything
Brought this on vacation- it was great for both daytime and evening wear- perfect size (I don't like a big bag). Fit my phone, wallet and room for a little bit more.

Easy to wear
Very comfortable but didn't love where the smocking hit. Started too high for my body shape. But still wore it.

Wanted to love it.
I loves everything about the look of this- the way it highlights your waist is so nice- but the buttons pull and really ruin the look.

Sleeves are way too tight.
I should have read the reviews better. I just wanted a chocolate top to throw on with jeans and once it arrived I couldn't even get my arm through. I do have larger arms. But this wasn't even tight- it was impossible.

Pretty dress. Fabric has a strange texture but I didn't mind it. Print is a nice statement.
Fit was good- but I the belt IMO was too skinny. And it was stitched on so you couldn't substitute something else. Wore it to work- easy and comfortable fit.

Just ok
Print was nice- wished it was 1 in longer. I do have a long torso and the sides cut up and so my skin felt bare there- it was cute. Paired nicely with jeans. Fabric is really light which is nice with the changes of season.

Too small
I wanted to love this. The fabric is great- but it was way too tight in the hip area. Buttons were pulling and didn’t sit right.

Great easy dress
Loved this. There is a lot of fabric and the dress is heavy- not for a hot summer day- perfect for the transitioning weather. Great throw on and do nothing dress. There was no pulling on the buttons. I got so many compliments on this one.

2nd rental
Loved it the first time. The second time I got one with the belt stitched to the jacket. Which didn't allow the belt to hit at the right part of my waist. Otherwise I love this jacket.

Easy to wear and dance in!
This dress is very easy to wear. I wore a nude bra underneath and didn't need to worry about straps- though it needs to be demi cut or you will see it through the dress. It was actually my second choice but ended up being my favorite. The color is stunning. And overall the dress is very comfortable. I danced all night in it. I usually wear a size 6-8 depending on the cut- I have larger hips so have to order up sometimes. The medium fit both my tiny waist and hips. There is some flexibility in the fabric though some of the other reviews mention it does not. This was not my experience.

Classic and sexy- what more could a girl want?
Glad I read the reviews on this dress- I ordered the long at 5'7" and it was the perfect length. Because of the short train and forgiving fabric I could've pulled off a short heel but ended up wearing 4" ones. I debated for awhile between this dress and another I rented in lace. I'm so happy I chose this one. No one else had anything like it. I got compliments all night and it was very comfortable to wear. It was also a church wedding- so it was easy to just throw on a wrap at the church to feel covered enough. I ordered both the 6l and 8l and ended up wearing the 6l.

Great wedding dress!
I'm sharing a photo of this close up since most others have a full shot. The lace is really beautiful. I found the fit short. I'm 5'7" and ordered the long. I'm glad I read the reviews as I was only able to put on a 1-1/2" heel with it. I typically float between a six and an 8- I needed the 8 for my hips. I debated a long time between this and the other dress I wore. It really was pretty and the fit was great with just a little looseness in the waist area which is not unusual for me as I have a hourglass figure.

Perfect accent necklace
This necklace took my dress to the next level- made it a little more formal and I got multiple compliments on it. It has multiple ares to hook the clasp so you control the drop.

Great color- weird fit
The color of this dress is beautiful- it's comfortable on and would be great to dance in all night. It had a very odd fit in the bust area. I'm a C cup and filled out the front of the dress fine- but there was a weird gapping at the armpit area. I wonder if the 4 would've done the same- but this was my back up dress so I only ordered one size.
