This dress is beautiful! The lace has some gold in it, which went perfect with the gold shoes I picked out without knowing it. I ordered the XL based on the fit notes, with the L as my back up size, and I ended up wearing the L. The fit was perfect, I didn't feel like I needed spanx underneath, and even though I used dress tape to make sure the top stayed down (I'm a 36D), I don't think I really needed it.

I really wanted to love this dress. It's so pretty, the fabric is soft. But it just did not fit me right in the chest. The front was really loose and I had to use a ton of dress tape to keep from giving everyone a free show. I wore it and it worked fine, but I wish I'd gotten a backup dress. Just wasn't for me, unfortunately.

What a gorgeous gown! It's much lighter and more "flowy" than I expected it to be, like a gauzy material. The bodice has a stretchy back, so it's very comfortable, but be sure to size down for your backup. I ended up wearing the smaller size. It also isn't lined heavily like many gowns, so I definitely needed to wear a strapless bra with it. It's very long-- I'm 5'7" wearing 3" heels in the photo and the regular length still touches the ground. Another great experience renting, thanks so much!

This was sent as a "stylist surprise," and they went with my dress perfectly. Big, sparkly, really fun.

This gown is really, really beautiful. The color is gorgeous. I rented it as my backup gown and ended up wearing the other one. My main problem with it was that it fit fine at the waist, but was too big in the bust. Even with a padded bra, it still gapped at the top. I'm usually a size 34B. It's also pretty long. I'm 5'7" and would have had to wear 3" heels to keep from stepping on it.

This dress is gorgeous! I ordered the medium and large and wore the medium. It fit fine around my hips (my problem area), and was very flattering. I didn't even bother with the spanx. I got so many compliments on it. This was my first rental and I'll definitely do it again. Thanks!
