Loved this dress! The color is beautiful and the fabric is nice quality to allow stretching but maintain structure. I was a little confused by the underbust seam as it seems like it's made for pregnant women with mosquito bite boobs (said no one ever), but it didn't change the fit at all! I ended up going with the smaller size, but near the end of the night, it did feel like it was cutting under my arm pits. Worth it! I am 5'3", was 133 lbs prepregancy, and am now 148 lbs at 24 weeks.

I wish I had gotten a better picture of me standing alone in this dress- I only have waist high pictures and one of the highlights of this dress is the asymmetrical hemline, so here you go! This dress was beautiful. I got nonstop compliments all day and continued afterwards. This material is light and comfortable without feeling fragile. The shape is flattering to be form fitting and then beautifully flares out without adding *extra* to the hips, which happens to me a lot in flared/skater type dresses. One of my biggest issues with sleeves on most clothing is that they are tight. I have naturally broad shoulders and unproportionately large arms (I sometimes have to size up due to the circumference of my arms). With this dress, I did not have that problem! I couldn't have gone any smaller, that's for sure, but compared to the size small, the x-small made me feel way better without making me feel squished or appearing like I was "trying too hard". I loved this dress and would definitely wear it again!

I wore this to a derby party- so fun! Loved this dress and this look. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was that it was slightly larger than I had anticipated so I wasn't as comfortable as I would've liked to have been. The bust was HUGE on me and wearing a strapless bra would've worked to keep it up, but the straps in the back are too thin to hide that. I ended up wearing NuBra, an invisible strapless backless bra which helped a little. The straps that clasped in the back were still loose and felt like they could've come undone on their own at any moment. The extra space in the waist gave the impression of a tummy (which I obviously wasn't too crazy about) so if I pulled the dress down a bit to straighten out the bunching around my waist, the top would come down because of my small chest :(. Regardless, I received tons of compliments and I still won "best dressed" so I was still happy, just a little uncomfortable at times.

Wow- what a great dress. The color is what caught my eye, but overall such a beautiful dress. I thought it shaped my body well without being too restrictive or too boxy. The fabric felt high quality to where it moved well but also maintained a good figure. I wore this to my sisters confirmation so it was "church appropriate" and received multiple compliments. I wore a strapless bra but didn't even need it with the nice ruffle. I would definitely wear this again, to any event!

This dress was so fun to wear. It makes you want to never stop twirling- and I'm not even that kind of girl! The only reason I said it runs large is because I'm generally a size 2 overall but that's because my hips are larger in ratio to my upper body. Otherwise it fit great (a little long on me for my short legs) and was very comfortable. I got a million compliments!

This is such a beautiful dress, I wish I didn't have to return it. It fits so nicely and I love the halter cut neck line. The fabric is a great (heavier) quality on top of the lining. It drapes nicely and I don't think this is supposed to be a super tight fitted dress because there was still room for me around the chest and waist without looking baggy. Thank god I got the petit size- I am 5'3" and wore flats to this wedding and it had just a nice drape on the ground without letting me feel like I was dragging. I was able to dance all night and I don't think I've ever received so many compliments. Definitely a show stopper!

I loved this dress. I wore it to a derby party and the compliments were never ending. It fit me so well and was very flattering on all accounts. I did not wear a bra, only pasties and it worked out fine with the adjustable straps. I'm on the shorter side so it was probably longer on me than most but that didn't matter. Despite most reviews saying it ran small, I got my regular size and a size up and my normal fit me true to size. The fabric feels nice and light but also good quality. I would definitely rent this again!

The size conversion said I would be a 36, but looking at the model online, it looked like it shouldn't be terribly fitted, and because of my athletic short stature, I need a defined waste in dresses so I ended up wearing the 34 and felt great. Still wasn't too tight or skimpy feeling, hugged all the right places and made me feel amazing. Could be worn year round to many events, as well as repeat wears to many occasions ;)

There was a gem that fell out of its bracket when I took it out of the box, but I was able to just pop it back into place and stayed all night.

The dress did however sort of cut in around my shoulders but I do have broader shoulders so knowing that I'd say the dress does run true to size. It is more fitted around my chest and it didn't give a whole lot, but the way it looked on me I forgot about those minor contingencies. Will definitely rent again!
