I loved the print and cheerful colors of this dress! The 54 was my backup size and ended up wearing it. The 52 fit well through the body, but was tight in the bust. The 54 was a bit loose, and unfortunately the underarms showed a bit too much of my bra. I wore the sweater to cover all that up. Despite the bust and arm problems, I still loved the dress! If you are busty size up and rock this one!

I rented this dress for a "cocktail attire" wedding. It was the right choice! The style is conservative, but not boring or frumpy. The structure of the dress is good. I did not have to pull at the top and it did not cut under the arms. I received many compliments and felt like the pretty girl at the party all night! If you are tired of the basic black cocktail dress pick this one!

This dress is very easy to wear. I could wear a regular bra and didn't need any shape wear (as the fabric is very forgiving). It was much shorter than I expected, not indecent.... just shorter than I felt appropriate for the wedding I was attending. It doesn't look like it in picture, but it was about three inches above the knee. I'm 5'4. But, since it was also my anniversary I wore it out to dinner the next day and it was perfect.

I wore this to an outdoor graduation ceremony. The XL fit well, but I went with the XXL thinking the loose fit would be better in the heat. The texture of the fabric made this better than the typical LBD. My only complaint was the awkward shape of the arm holes (in both sizes). I had to adjust the dress often to keep my bra from showing under the arms. Otherwise, a great dress for an outdoor event. It was lightweight and cool without feeling flimsy. (This picture was taken at the end of the night graduation... dress still looked great!)

I rented this for my husband's graduation, he deemed it "too dressy" but I LOVED it. The color is so much prettier in person than in the pictures. The flow of the skirt is fun and flattering. It even has snaps to hold your bra straps in place! I wore the dress to church because I just had to wear it, even if it wasn't to an event. I added the belt, thinking it looked a little more polished. I wish it could keep this dress! I will definitely rent again.

This dress had some stretch to it, and was lighter weight than I expected. It worked great for sitting through a graduation ceremony then walking around campus taking pictures. The fit was flattering and conservative, perfect for the day.

This started as my backup, but put it on and loved it! The fit was perfect, no pulling or adjusting all night. I was a little concerned about the straps slipping, so I used a little fashion tape just to be sure they stayed in place. I felt elegant and received many compliments. I would rent this dress again.

I did not wear this one. I wanted to love it so much! The color is amazing, the flow of the skirt is so pretty, but the top is HUGE! I usually have a problem with tops being too tight. Maybe my torso is too short for this style? Skip if you have a short torso or don't want a lot of cleavage. Otherwise, go for it!
