Great Formal Gown!
Pros: This dress is so unique, flattering, and beautiful. Usually I shy away from sequins but this dress some how has managed to avoid looking like a pageant gown. I loved that I could wear a standard bra with the dress, and it was fitted in all the right places. With 5 inch heels the dress was just barely above the ground. Cons: It is a little on the heavy side, so with high heels and the front slit, it was a little tricky to walk in.

Great formal gown!
I rented this for a Mardi Gras ball and received quite a few compliments. The dress was lightweight, easy to walk in, and I was able to wear a regular bra with it. The dress ran relatively similar in terms of size relative to other Nicole Miller Gowns. I am 5'0 1/2 and with 4 inch heels my dress just barely dragged on the floor. It was not too long to wear though. The only downsides, the fabric was a little thinner than I have experienced with other Nicole Miller dresses. It was not lined so it will show more flaws than other lined dresses. The other downside was the design on the stomach tended to bunch up a little so if the tummy is a problem area it might draw attention to it more.

Perfect Formal Gown
This dress was prefect for a winter ball. I could have worn either the xs or the s. I decided to wear the xs because it seemed to be more slimming. (Think the spanx effect--sucks more in). I was able to wear a normal bra with this dress--just had to move the straps far to the side. The fabric is really heavy so it does make it a little tricky to walk in but not so much that I couldn't walk. I think the fabric being so thick does allow the dress to hide flaws despite it being so form fitting. I wore 4 inch heels and the length was good.

Just a little too big
I ended up not wearing this dress. The bust was too big and would have required double stick tape to stay up. It also was loose (not not horrible) in the waist and hips. The length was just right.

Too long, Too Big
This dress was a great light material but it was entirely too long for me. I am 5'0 and it ended well past my knees. It was a little big in the top as well but not not so big that I would not have worn it. Decided not to wear it because it was just too long.

Way too long. Not 58 inch like the description says.
This dress was so pretty in person but it was about 5 inches longer than what rtr reports it is. I rented another dress that was in fact 58 inches long and this one was 4-5 inches longer. It was also loose around the rib cage. Other down side was about 15 girls had this dress on at the event.

Classic Black Tie Gown!
This dress was so comfortable and was perfect for my black tie event. It is a snug fit but the lining makes it figure flattering. I wore 4in heels and the dress was not too long but any longer would have been an issue. Had no issue wearing a strapless bra underneath. This dress is much prettier in person than it is in the model photos.

Classic Dress!
This dress fit great! It stopped just above the knee. I would say this dress is pretty conservative so it was great for a business function. No complaints!

Perfect spring time wedding dress!
Loved the weight of the material and how the bottom flowed. The armpits were a little big but not a huge issue. The dress went to just above my knee. So comfortable and the lining made it so the dress flowed in all the right spots. Tons of compliments!

Perfect size just enough sparkle
I loved all of the crystals on the outside. They were pretty but not too over the top. The purse fit my iphone (with case on) lipstick some cash and credit card easily. It also has a gold chain strap.

Perfect For a Black Tie Wedding!
This dress was even prettier in person than it is in the photos. I loved all of the details in the layers and how the dress flared at the bottom. The dress was a little big at the bust so I did have a little trouble dancing but I think with double stick tape could have fixed this. The dress fit perfectly at the waist and hugged all the right curves. It also was extremely comfortable as the fabric was really soft.

The dress was actually too big on me so my friend ended up wearing it instead.
The dress was probably 4 inches too long for me even with 3-4inch heels. It was also way too big in the chest and on the shoulders. It fit my friend really well, and the dress was a beautiful material and was really flattering on her. It is fitted but flows at the bottom.
