I absolutely love this dress. I will preface that with saying-- it looks a little different and funky, and not something I would typically wear. I'm SO glad I took a risk on this one--I love how pictures from the family wedding I wore it to turned out, and I received a ton of compliments on the dress the whole night. Definitely will be renting this one again. The color is stunning-- you will definitely stand out! Perfect for a summer/spring wedding or any type of event. The material is a soft jersey which was so comfortable and breathable, but I was also able to wear a normal bra, even given the cutouts the under layer has! Always a plus. I'd recommend a thong underwear with no seams though. I am 6 feet tall-- and this is definitely a dress that is made for women of my similar stature. Don't think it would be great on shorter people-- just from the way the lengths of both the under layer and the over layer are. The over layer went mid-calf on me, and the under layer is a lot longer than I expected-- although the picture is deceiving it was maybe 2 or 3 inches above my knee. I typically go toward size Large for length, and the fact that I have a large chest, (I am usually a 10 in most dresses) but the L was to "L" for me. In terms of accessories-- I meant to wear my hair up but was running late (as usual!) and just left it down. Added a big statement necklace (see picture) and simple diamond earrings, a few gold bangles, and nude open-toed wedges. Definitely depends on the event but can always go edgier (per RTR's recommendation). I also think this would look great with a big ponytail and cool dangly earrings! I'm looking to buy this dress now so I can wear it all of the time!
