REPEAT RENTAL
Wow - RENT THE DRESS. I felt sexy all night long and it was so comfortable. Does not have and padding or support, so I just wore some boob tape to secure. It was so gorgeous when going in the light, it almost had this purple undertone to the gold and it was just so beautiful!!

DO IT YOU WONT REGRET IT! So many compliments
I felt like a real life Barbie in this dress! So so many compliments. I am 5'9 and dress hit perfect length. The only thing I would say is don't wear this on a windy day or it will blow up and show everything. I didn't need to wear a bra but I did for extra lift and the bra band hid well, you couldn't even see it. I'm a 36B for reference. It is 100% cotton. I would buy this in a heartbeat and I still might!

WOW RENT RENT: I was told best dress of the night (of course besides the bride)
10000% hands down, rent this dress. At the end of the night I was told I was best dressed without a doubt (of course after the bride). It was slimming, elegant and just breath taking. It hugged in all the right places. I ordered US sizes 6 and 8 and I'm normally an 8 but went with the 6 because it fit perfectly. The 8 was actually too big in the arm and bust area. The slit in the back made it sexy without being too much. No complaints from me. The rubbing on the neck did not happen for me at all

Runs small but gorgeous rich dress
So I ordered a medium with a backup size large. I'm 5'9, 165lbs so I run between a size 6-8 dress. After reading the reviews, I had a feeling I would not fit in the medium and I was right .. so I ended up going with the large. Honestly, beautiful dress and I'm glad I rented it. CONS: super tight in the chest. I'm a 36B and it made me look flat chested, so needed adjusting. Could have worn it without but needed to wear spanx. PROS: two way zipper in back, form fitting and slimming.

DO NOT HESITATE AND RENT
Jump on this now and rent! Got it for my friends 30th birthday and it was a hit! I'm 5'9 for reference and ordered the Large and Medium. They both fit, so it's just a matter of which one I felt better in as I could still wear both. The slit hits at the perfect spot and I would rent this dress again without hesitation. You can wear bra less or with a bra, also your preference! It just hugs in all the right places!!!

Great dress but read!!
So the dress was perfect and I got so many compliments! The only weird area was in the chest. The button would not stay closed but luckily as long as your standing or sitting with your back straight, your bra would not show. I still needed to pin it, which fixed the problem right away. I also traded out my padded bra, for a bralette and that fixed it too! I'd say bigger chest women, this dress would not work for you. I'm a 36/38B. I would say though get the dress, because it's an easy fix

YOU NEED THIS DRESS. PERIOD.
I was a little nervous at first ordering the dress based on reviews but WOW I am so happy I did. I ordered a 10 with 8 backup and both fit! So just needed to go with the one that was most comfortable. It hugs all the right places and is just stunning. The 8 was too tight on my chest so it made me looked squished so I went with the 10, but if I had to wear the 8 again could have 100%. I did wear a bra but that’s because I need too, you might not so all depends on your comfort level. I wore a strapless. I did wear spanxs too but that is also optional because I didn’t really need them! The sleeves can come down if you slouch your shoulders, but sitting up straight they were up all night. They did start to fall as I was getting more drinks in me but it still looked great as an off the shoulder. Got so many compliments!

The colors in this dress are amazing and actually the biggest compliment I got all night.
The others are right, the dress it very fitting but at first. Throughout the night it was much easier to move around in the dress-maybe the alcohol helped not too sure LOL but to say the least using the restroom was not a problem at all without any help from someone pulling up or down the dress. If you are ordering I def suggest your true size and backup a size up. I’m a true 16 so not having anything bigger was nerve wracking but it fit perfectly. ALSO for us women who have bigger arms and some extra love in the butt, this dress has enough room in the arms and it hugs all your curves the right way! I started the night with my hair up and took it down halfway through the night. Honestly you can style it anyway, I also had some pretty pink flower earrings that paired nicely and wore nude pencil heels.

This dress is absolutely beautiful. The make and material is fabulous.
The fit was perfect but a little lose in the chest area. Would suggest wearing a bra or strapless for those whose straps always fall down like myself. The length was perfect and hit about 5 inches up from my ankles. I am a true size 16 and ordered the 18 for a backup. The 16 fit perfectly and I could wear the 18 but I would need to wear a bra to fill in the chest area and pin the straps tighter. This dress is perfect to hide the extra bloat in the tummy from the night before LOL. I paired it with white Steve Madden heels I had and a pink clutch from Amazon. I definitely would recommend this dress it was absolutely stunning. I did end up going with a different dress that hugged my curves and waist line better.
