Lovely dress, good for summer
This dress was gorgeous, and I loved the flowy material. It was a pretty warm day and we were in the sun for most of the event until the evening, so I was glad to have the flowy airy type of material to help with the heat. I got a lot of compliments, and would recommend this dress! I am between a 4/6 and wore the 6 because it zipped up easier. The length was good, I am 5'10" and wore flat sandals with it, but it would be good for average height girls to wear heels I think.

Stunning dress
I wore this to a black tie event, and it was absolutely stunning. The ruffles are really lovely and the ruching and boning help with shaping. I'm typically a size 6 these days, but I had to wear the size 8 on this because there wasn't enough room in the chest to get the 6 zipped. Length was pretty good as well. I'm 5'10" but was still able to wear heels with it. The boning was poking out on the inside with the size 8, but wasn't on the size 6, so that was a bit of a bummer, and it did keep poking me through the night. Overall, I would definitely recommend this dress, it's one of my favorite rentals I've had on this platform!

Not for tall girls
This dress is gorgeous and I wish it would've fit me, but this is not a dress for tall girls. I don't have a photo because I didn't end up wearing it. I'm 5'10" and the slit comes up above the underwear line. Additionally, the cut is shaped so that the hips of the dress were in my waist and were bulging out. The zipper and cut made it so that it couldn't be flattened either. So long story short, this isn't for tall girls unfortunately. Beautiful otherwise though!

Breezy and comfortable
I wore this to a summer wedding and it was really breezy and comfortable. Very easy to wear. I did use a sticky bra because the back is open. And I'm 5'10" so the slit came up pretty high for me, so tall girls be aware!

Beautiful dress, bump friendly!
This dress is so beautiful, and the material is silky and flowy. I wore this while 6 months pregnant but I had no idea what size to pick since I reserved the rental a few months prior. The zip is really forgiving in the sense that you can actually tuck it and it looks pretty seamless. I've attached a pic from the back, and if you inspect closely, you'll see that I actually just zipped it as high as I could and then folded the excess in. Because of the sash and material, you can barely tell it's not supposed to be like that lol. As for length, the 6R was slightly shorter than the 8R, so I went with the 8. I'm 5'10" and wearing 1 inch heels, and with some bump lifting up the front haha. Comfortable, easy to move around in, would absolutely recommend!

Nice dress
This was a nice dress but the cut is indeed very low. Tall girls will need to wear flats with this (I'm 5'10" for reference). I'm usually a size 4 so I ordered the S, which fit well! And even though the cut is very low, I didn't use any fashion tape or anything, it was pretty snug.

Prettier in person
I rented this for a wedding that had a "Sparkle" theme. As others have mentioned, this is prettier in person. I feel like it looks kind of chaotic in photos, but in person, the light off the sequins vary it up. I got many compliments. I will say, this dress was uncomfortable for me to wear...the sequins rubbed on my arms, and the slip underneath is pretty short, so there isn't a layer between your legs and the sequins when you sit. (Maybe that's a tall girl problem, the slip might fall lower if you're shorter? The slip ends at the slit) Size/fit comments: I ordered Small and Medium, and ended up wearing the Medium. My usual size is 4-6, and I'd say the Medium was more 4-6, and the Small was in the 2-4 range. I am 5'10" and did not have any issues with the straps falling down (I've seen a few other reviews that mentioned this). I knocked a star off for comfort, but I got a ton of compliments, and sometimes beauty is pain lol.

Absolutely beautiful dress
I wore this to a summer wedding, and it was so beautiful, I got compliments all night. It was true to size and comfortable. I'm 5'10" and I would've gotten a Long if there was one available for my date, but I wore a Regular, which was fine but definitely showed my shoes. I would recommend this dress!

Glittery and fun
I wish I were shorter, or they made this dress longer... I'm 5'10" and the slit is wayyyy too high for someone like me. The Small fits like a 4, if that's a helpful reference, and I liked everything else about this dress and the material was comfortable, not scratchy as some glittery dresses are. If I were shorter, I could've worn this for sure. But for me, I would not have been able to sit down without exposing myself...tall girls beware.

Lavish and beautiful
I read the other reviews that said this ran small, and to order TWO sizes up. I was skeptical, but really all of the reviews warned about it, so I ordered an 8 (I'm usually a 4), and I'm so glad I did, because the 8 fit very well, and I can't imagine fitting in a smaller one. This dress feels well made and the material is really robust. I love the high low dress and ruffles. The shoulders are a little much for my personal taste, but my husband said they looked good, so sometimes I go outside of my comfort zone. I didn't end up wearing this one because it didn't fit the vibe of the wedding I was attending, but now that I know it fits, I'll rent it for some other event!

Beautiful dress for winter wedding
I rented this for a winter wedding, so having sleeves was important to me. This dress was really gorgeous and I got lots of compliments. I'm 5'10" but there wasn't a Long available for my date, so I wore the Regular, and it worked out fine, although a Long would've been better. And I usually wear a 4, but I wore the 2 in this and it fit great. I used a sticky bra, but if you have a bra where the straps are on the outer shoulders, I think you could get away with it!

Cute dress for NYE!
True to size and pretty comfortable. Very sparkly and got many compliments. The back is so cute. The only thing that I had a complaint about was the bottom of the zipper on the back kind of stuck out (you can see it in the photo). I tried to flatten it, but it was just a thick band and I couldn't do much about it. I'd recommend this dress!

Fun and flirty
I rented this for our annual family photos and it worked really well. I wore the S and it fit great (I usually wear a 4). The elastic waist made the fit really nice, although I did need to pin the bust to prevent from popping out. The clasp was broken on the S (although I did see that it was supposed to have one, based on the M backup size that I had), but I just used a pin and it was fine. I enjoyed this rental!

Glamorous, gorgeous back
I wore this for a formal event and felt so glamorous. The sequins didn't rub or bother me all night. Runs true to size - I usually wear a 4, and both the 4 and 6 fit but the 4 hugged better. I did wear shapewear underneath as the sequins don't hide much. As for length, I'm 5'10" and it was a little short, hit me right at the ankle so I had to wear short heels, although flats would've been better except I don't have any that matched the dress. Overall, a great rental!

Stunning dress
I loved this dress! It does run small, so I wore the 6 (I usually wear a 4). It is quite comfortable, and I got compliments all night long. Since the neckline is so high, I didn't wear a necklace, only some long earrings. And the material is pretty thick, so you could probably get away with going braless, but I used pasties just in case it got cold in the venue. I would definitely recommend this!

Fits as expected, got a ton of compliments! It's pretty comfortable and I wore it with a sticky bra. The bow in front cinches so you can slightly adjust the neckline from straight to sweetheart. I'd recommend this for a summer wedding!

Cute dress, awesome sleeves
I wore this to a Fire and Ice themed holiday party, and the sleeves were super fun and fiery. The material feels sturdy and was comfortable. My arms did feel a little restricted in movement but I don't really dance so it didn't bother me. This dress does run small; I wore the 6, whereas I usually wear a 4 but it was a very tight zip.

Gorgeous dress, flowy and soft
I wore this to a summer wedding and got so many compliments on this dress. It is gorgeous and flowy. The material is really nice and silky too. The sleeves have an elastic band so they stay up where you want them, and the boning keeps the dress up. I didn't have any problems with needing to pull it up or anything, which is always a concern for me when wearing strapless dresses. The bow is a nice touch (it's sent in a pouch in the accessories pocket of the garment bag, some people mentioned it was missing). I would definitely recommend this dress!

comfortable and cute
I wore this to a 60's themed holiday party for work. It looks like something they would wear in Mad Men, so I went with it. The dress was very easy to wear and comfortable. I got a lot of compliments all night. I was right in the middle of small and medium, so I wore the medium. For the most part it was great, but since the top is strapless, sometimes my arm movements would cause the top to slip down a little bit, so you just have to be a little careful.

Beautiful detail in the skirt
I loved this dress, it was very beautiful. It was comfortable and you can wear a regular bra with it, which is always a plus. Ladies with long torsos...this might end up being a very short dress for you, because it was quite short on me. It was also a little tight around the arms. Overall, it was great though!

Great color
I got a lot of compliments on this dress. It was pretty comfortable, and I love that I could wear a regular bra with it. The color is very vibrant and pretty, the pattern is slimming. It doesn't hide anything in the tummy area though, so I had to remember to suck it in for photos...

So glamorous!
This dress was amazing. I got compliments all night and felt awesome. I was nervous about the sequins when I first put it on, and they were scratching my arms a bit, but after a few minutes of wearing it, I got used to it and had no other problems for the rest of the night. The fit is very good, pretty true to size. The shoulder area does get a little tight, but it was manageable, as long as you're not constantly raising your arms above your chest. I would have preferred a 4L, but they didn't have any for the night that I needed it, so I was actually wearing a 2L, which is probably why the shoulders were tight, but I imagine if you have the right size that it wouldn't be a problem. The length is also quite long, and there is a mini train in the back. I am 5'10" and wore 3 inch heels, and it worked out pretty well, although the train got stuck in my heels sometimes when I would walk. The only thing that is odd about this dress is how the neckline looks and feels pretty reasonable, but shows up pretty low in pictures. All in all, I would definitely recommend this dress for anyone going to a formal event!
