Even better in person!
I had my fingers crossed this would work for Easter. I liked the floral pattern and airy ruffles. When I got it, I was thrilled. It's even prettier in person! The dress looks white on RTR but it was a really light pink background with beautiful drawn & painted flowers in the pattern. The construction was fantastic too. Fully lined with a thick satin, so didn't worry about lines and see through underwear. It did run small. I usually wear an 8. The 10 fit well but I had to have good posture. One thing to note - I wouldn't wear this to a wedding or any party with dancing. The way the sleeves are cut, they didn't have much give in the shoulder. Be careful with that. I will definitely rent again! Would consider buying it too.

Joie never disappoints!
This arrived new with a tag, and I really enjoyed wearing it! The neckline and buttons down the front were really cute. I liked the white embroidered outlines too. I dressed it up and down. Cute with frayed denim shorts and sandals but also a nice pop of color with professional suiting. I will probably buy it, but from Nordstrom since they're only offering 10% off the retail price for unlimited subscribers...

Didn't love the drop shoulder
I really like the style of this top, a different shape and silhouette than I normally wear. The silky drape makes it good for a date night, but it is conservative enough to wear to work. I was really bummed that the fit wasn't good on me. I have broad shoulders and this sleeve has a drop shoulder so it just made my shoulders look more broad.

Lots of volume in the sleeves
I got this for a birthday party, but when I tried it on, the sleeves were too puffy for me, it made my shoulders look too broad and the length took away my waist definition. For someone with a narrower torso I think it would look good. The fabric also felt more cheap and synthetic than I imagined.

Loved it!
This dress was one of my favorites yet! The color and style were beautiful. I wore it to a summer wedding and ended up renting it again for another event. Like other's have said, the dress runs really small and the fabric has no give. Definitely order up in size. Sometimes with non-stretch fabric and sleeves, dancing can be tough because the sleeve/shoulder area is tight. But, not with this one! The way its made, it was really fun and comfortable to dance in. The length is short, but it works with the flirty style of the dress. Just know that if you're twirling on the dance floor, you may want regular underwear...

Genesis Mini Dress
Keepsake

Great fit, elegant, and no fuss.
I wore this to a fall wedding and loved it. The fabric was pretty stretchy, no zippers or anything, so sizing is flexible...The waistline was flattering and the dress was comfortable. I didn't have any trouble with bras, didn't need fashion tape, everything stayed in place through standing, sitting, and dancing. The midi-length was slightly odd, I would have preferred it long. If you're petite, it may look long. For tall girls, I'd still go for it. Great dress all around.

Beautiful fabric, but too low and cropped.
The fabric was really nice and I like the style of the top but I ended up not wearing it because my bra was completely exposed. The neckline is so low I couldn't wear it, and the hemline was cropped. It looked longer in the photo than it was in reality. If you're petite, this would look amazing! But I'm tall with an average/large chest, so it didn't work for me.
