Frumpy on my petite frame
Very loose around the waist. Shoulders and neckline fit okay, just really big around the waist.

Pretty printed dress
Bodice snug, shoulder straps long, but remedied by pinning, cute 2 front slits in skirt. If it had boning to the bodice, would wear as a strapless dress.

Perfect for a Palm Springs photoshoot!
Ruffles were a bit long on this dress and the left front ruffle was torn (4 stars). However, with a few strategic pins, this was worth it! I ended up pinning up almost 4 inches of the ruffles on both sides on the back to bring it up a bit and had to pinned the torn ruffle together. I loved the flow and shape of the dress. It highlighted what I felt comfortable with regarding my body and camouflaged what I was uncomfortable with. It was perfect for a photoshoot with girlfriends in Palm Springs!

Unique & fun
Loved the pattern in the dress. Unfortunately, you can tell that it has been rented quite a few times as the zipper was a struggle to pull all the way up since it was worn in a particular section. Did enjoy looking different from everyone else and received so many compliments! Would have bought if the zipper was working perfect!

Girlie ruffles
Certain dresses make me feel so feminine and girlie and this is one of them. Received compliments all day! Tied the tie in a bow and let it hang a bit lower to regulate the boob coverage. Absolutely love this dress! Wore it for a work meeting and for regular work days.

Warm with style
Love this sweater...wore for vacation and it was just the amount of warmth I needed. It is 60% merino wool and adorable. I just may need to buy this because I am having a hard time thinking about sending it back!

Many compliments, figure flattering
Loved wearing this dress. Since I am petite (5'0"), pinning up the straps worked like a charm. Placed double sided tape in the chest area to prevent any mishaps. The dress did have a body odor smell (took off a star for this) so tried to air it out prior to use as well as wear perfume. I loved the way it showcased the back, especially if you like to work out. Very feminine and flattering!

Classy, edgy and feminine!
Absolutely loved wearing this dress. No complaints, only compliments. Would love to have this as a keeper. Being petite at 5'0" had me concerned with the length, but because of the hemline, it totally worked. I used some double-sided tape to hold up the sleeveless side and everything was perfect.

Effortlessly feminine & romantic
The only problem I had with this dress was the length since I am petite. I was able to remedy this simply by pinning the straps by about 2.5 inches on both sides and then everything else fit perfect. If you are petite, it can be modified to work beautifully! I love this designer and I'm so glad it worked out...had so many compliments on how romantic and feminine it was....perfect for outdoor spring wedding!

Tight arms, huge waist
Received this brand new with tags. Tried it on, but immediately sending back. Arms were way too tight and waist was way too big. It is unlined. Sad it didn't work out as I liked the style.

Stand out in a sea of black!
Lovely silver dress! Sequins under left arm was a bit of a bother, but otherwise awesome. Was concerned with the length since I am petite, but because the skirt actually stopped above my knee, the lace at the bottom looked fine and with heels, worked out great. Had so many compliments that night and am I am still getting them on the pictures.

Cute for outside baby shower
Cute dress. Not a lot of give...pockets are such an added bonus with this dress and the lace was beautifully placed. Still quite short even for me being petite. Great for casual showers.

So awesome I have to buy it!
Lovely, feminine dress. Fitted with no give, but Spanx works wonderfully for it. Have worn on 5 different occasions and I got compliments every time I've worn it. Since I'm pretty petite, the length works just right for me. The ruffles though is what makes it such a flattering dress! Just love it!

Sexy, classy and seductive and yet sweet!
Loved the quality of the material....heavy and did not need a bra! Great length and even for me at 5 ft, I almost considered it somewhat short. Loved the slim fit of the bodice and yet the ruffles of the skirt and shoulders. Also loved how the lace covers the cleavage, back and goes up the neck with a collar. Wore for two occasions and it was an absolute hit!

Stood out from all the other black dresses...beautiful red flowers and feminine ruffles
Will hug your body for sure. Dress is sheer, but cannot tell once it is on. The lace around the waist has a peekaboo lace which added to the flair. The ruffle accents around the skirt, wrists and neckline are an elegant, feminine touch. For being only 5 feet, this was a little short, but wore tights and it was fine. Received many compliments and enjoyed wearing this for a work awards night and again for a show in Vegas...love, love, love!

Fit weird around the midsection and bust.
Unfortunately didn't wear. Great material and even received with tag. It fit a little odd around the midsection for me and the inside skirt wouldn't lay right. It also fit odd around my bust. It probably would work better for someone a little slimmer and not so busty. Oh well....

Cute back and pattern! Light and airy!
No cons, only pros. Worked well with a strapless bra. Got to wear on two different occasions and loved wearing it. Loved the pattern and colors of the dress and the way the back tied with 2 loose panels....simple dress, with a little bit of elegance in the back!

Perfect for an Air Force Promotion ceremony!
Camisole and dress arrived separate and thankful the camisole was adjustable. For being petite at 5 ft, it was the perfect length. The event was listed as "business" attire, but this dress gave "business" just a little more pizazz. It fit well around bust and waist with nice room for a "healthy" bum. Adorable dress and loved the collar with tie neckline.

Fabulous, flowy dress
Fabulous, light silk material with layers for depth. Only drawback is I wish this came in petite (or I would love to buy this and have it altered to my length). At 5 ft tall, this comes out as the perfect maxi with 4 inch sandals...but would prefer to wear it with flat sandals though.

Beautiful and perfect for spring wedding!
Fitted bodice and forgiving in the hips. Low, sheer back with exquisite embroidery all over. Received compliments ALL night long. Pictures do not do this dress justice. Would recommend tape to hold up inside bodice lining of dress as I had a few problems with it sliding down and possibly revealing too much of "the girls". Be careful not to wear jewelry that may snag the dress. I had a rhinestone bracelet on that I ended up taking off since it caught the fabric twice - did not want to ruin such a gorgeous dress. Prepare for lots of compliments while wearing this!

Cute, flowy top. Loved the open shoulders, yet "covered" arms. Color is vibrant. Had to wear a black strapless bra. Sheer fabric, but can't really tell. Would rent again!

Beautiful dress made of rich fabrics
Loved the fabric of this dress....it is a gorgeous material. I ended up not wearing this dress for the formal wedding as this was my back-up. I decided on a more unique dress. However, I would love to rent this to another occasion since it exudes classic style and sophistication. To me simplicity is beautiful. The only drawback that I have is that because I'm petite, it hit me as a tea-length dress which is fine....but the torso was a tad longer than I'd prefer. Nevertheless, I would probably still rent it again.

Excellent shipping
Absolutely beautiful dress....fit great around waist and length was perfect with heels. Only drawback was fitting around arms/chest. It did fit a tight to the point that I couldn't lift my arms. Make sure to fix hair and makeup prior to putting on dress as this will be impossible with the dress on. Sadly, I returned this dress.
