Big busted gals need to get creative
I loved this dress...but I had to wear it backwards and turn it into a sweetheart neckline (see photo) which is FINE if you wear a layer to hide the pocket in the back where the boobs were supposed to be.

Great pop of color but still versatile
Shorter than I would have liked but great if you like a crop top or if you wear it with high waisted pants or a skirt like I did.

Odd cut
I think if it was longer and could be tucked in or if it was more fitted and cropped, it'd be fine. But it was big and short which was really unflattering.

It made my waist look small but it really ballooned out. Just not my style.

Comfortable and stylish
I love this blazer! I think I was a little between sizes and probably would have needed to size up if I wanted to button it, but it was perfect for the way I wore it. I paired it with chinos and a tshirt.

Flattering and stylish
I wore this to a fundraiser and it wasn’t too casual but wasn’t too formal. The material is more of a linen so it’s so soft and comfortable. It looked great with flats and bold earrings!

Great fit!
This is different than what I’d normally wear because the sleeves are such a statement on my narrow shoulders but I got tons of compliments!

Much longer than expected
I didn’t end up wearing them because they were so long, which is a shame because they fit great otherwise.

Great fit, comfortable material, would definitely wear again!
I wore this for my adult (zoom) bat mitzvah, and it was stretchy, lightweight but thick quality material, and exactly what I was looking for. I wish I could have kept it, but I may just have to rent it again! I'm 5'4" and 135 pounds, and usually between a 4 and a 6 so I got both. The 4 fit well. The 6 was a little big in my hips, but would have also worked if I'd only gotten that one.

Felt like a million bucks
I had tickets to Hamilton, so I wanted to wear a bright green dress with gold accessories so that I could geek out and be in theme. This definitely lived up to my vision and I got tons of compliments all night! I'm usually between a 4 and a 6, so I definitely went with the 6 after reading some of these reviews. I probably could have even done an 8, but I could still breathe so it was good enough! Comfortable, hugs in all the right places, and simple but glamorous especially when accessorized well. I paired it with gold flats, a gold and white chevron bag, a gold statement necklace, and small delicate gold ear huggers. I wish I owned this dress because I would definitely wear it again!

Perfect funfetti for a birthday!
This was such a great dress to rent for a birthday date! It's not something I would usually choose for myself, but I couldn't resist its funfetti vibe. It was tight enough that I still had plenty of support with a backless sticky bra. The plunging back is super sexy, and it's short enough to reveal a little leg, but the neckline and cap sleeves make it a little more modest and classy. I wore it with druzy drop earrings and black pumps, but I think you could really pair it with a number of things!

This is the most beautiful dress I've ever worn, maybe second only to my wedding dress. Maybe.
It breaks my heart to give this dress four stars instead of five, because my heart loved it enough to give it five. This dress is absolutely STUNNING in person. That rose gold color is just dazzling, and it has a way of reflecting whatever light is in the room, so it seemed almost iridescent. I wore it to a black tie fundraiser, and I got compliments on it all night. The fit was fantastic, but it was a little on the long side for me even with 3-inch heels (I probably should have gone with the 4P instead of the 4R). The length almost fit like a small puddle train, which would have just added to the glamour of the dress, except that it was rainy that evening so I had to hold it up wherever I went. But aside from the length, it fit like a glove. The neckline was gorgeous, the back was even better, and it hugged in all the right places. It's hard to tell in the picture, but I wore it with satin champagne heels, and I think it would also work with nude or maybe even black. I wore my hair down with loose curls, but an updo would definitely work with that back. I kept the jewelry simple, and just wore short crystal drop earrings. I would definitely stick with that diamond or crystal look. It added to the bling really nicely! The reason I had to give this dress four stars is because it wasn't the most comfortable dress ever. The undersides of my arms are beat up after running against the sparkles all night. It's also a little on the heavy side (understandably so) and the edge of the cap sleeves dug into my shoulders so much while dancing, I woke up the next morning with bruises on those spots. It was absolutely worth the discomfort, but I'll probably opt for something more conducive to my sensitive skin next time.
