Wanted to love the dress, but not the right fit for my body type.
Kinda a just right fit for the bottom, but large on top. Pros: Loved the color of this dress and the cut out details. Has some stretch. Cons: since I’m pear shaped my lower half is larger than my top half. The top of this dress was a little looser than I’d like and the bottom could’ve been a little looser. Ended up not wearing the dress, since I don’t think it fit the event.

Loved the dress, loads of compliments, would rent again!
Wore this dress for my wedding dinner and after party. I’ve worn a similar style of this dress and wanted to try the longer version. The dress has some stretch to it. I usually wear a 18/20 in street wear but the 14 fit well. I got the long since that was the only option and it still worked (I’m 5’5”). Only thing I had to worry about was how low the back was and making sure not to flash anyone (I also have a short torso).

Obsessed with this dress! Would rent again
I’ve had my eye on this dress for months and finally had an event to wear it to! My legal wedding. I’m 5’5” and got the L because that was the only option available. Def a bit too long but still a stunner. I usually wear a size 20 in pants but the 16 fit, I may have also been able to wear a 14 since there was still space in the waist when I zipped everything up. No stretch, lovely material. Can’t wait to rent again!

Back up option - okay dress got the wrong size
I got this dress as an additional back up and wasn’t sure what size would be best. I’m usually a 18/20 in pants so I got the 20 but fit was way too big. The fabric has some stretch and think it could be a contender if I got a different size. More gold than I thought based on other pictures.

NYE Fit - partied in all night in Miami
The dress is a little short (but fits the MIA vibe). Loved the subtle shimmer and color. Even though it’s strapless it didn’t fall down. Wore without shapewear and a strapless bra

LOVED, didn’t want to take off!
I wore this for my birthday brunch and got so many compliments. It’s easy to move in so was able to dance freely. Only con is that the sizing is off. I’m usually an 18/20 but easily fit in the 12 and probably could’ve gone a size down. Had to use fashion tape for the top. Besides that would def wear again.

This dress has some stretch and I didn’t find the sequins itchy at all. Had to get help tying the back but besides that great dress.

Fun jumpsuit, but tricky zipper
Ordered for an all white night on vacation. Really enjoyed how flowy it was and that I'd be able to dance freely. Cons: long leg length (I'm 5'4'' and had to wear heels), zipper is tough to get up on your own (my partner had to zip me in every time and I'm usually self sufficient in this area).

Great structure and details
Loved the shoulder details and the little slit. The dress has some stretch, but was a bit tight on my hips/butt. However, I was able to walk around and dance all night without being concerned. Tried to rent again for a recent wedding but the dress wasn't available.

Love the color but not for people with hips
I sized up for this dress (I usually wear a 12/14 but got this in a 16) and assumed it would fit. I was able to get the dress on but it was extremely tight over my hips/butt. It pulled the fabric so tight that you didn't get the flowy-ness in the picture. If you're curvy I would not wear this dress as there is no stretch at all.

Great color and cut, but no stretch
I picked this dress because it appeared when using the "stretchy" filter. However when I tried it on there's zero stretch. I couldn't even fit the dress over my shoulders.

Great color with some stretch
Pros: stretchy fabric so it can fit over curves, loved the slit (high but not too high that I'd be flashing anyone), was able to move around in it all night (sitting, dancing, walking up and down stairs). I'm 5'5" but got the L because it was the only one available and had no issues wearing the dress without heels. Cons: zipper is hard to get up on my own.

Stretchy, great dress for formal wedding
Loved the cut of the dress with the sleeve and slit on the bottom. Stretchy dress so it's easy to dance in and it's forgiving. Got a ton of compliments

Good design, no stretch
I rented this dress for a NYE party and was sad that when I went to try it out there's literally no stretch. I couldn't even get the dress over my shoulders.

Great LBD, cocktail dress
Stretchy and structured dress. Super comfortable and would rent it again. Love the cut of the top of the dress and the cut out was sexy but not too extra. Felt great in this dress.

Loved the dress, would rent again.
The slit and shoulder details were my favorite part of this dress. I have a very curvy bottom, and sometimes dresses won't fit but there's a decent amount of stretch to this dress so I felt comfortable all night. I wish the dress was a little longer, since it didn't hit the floor in 2/3 in heels. If you like raising your arms a lot, you may have to adjust the straps a lot.

Felt great in the dress, a little tight in the hip area
The sequins aren't itchy, and there's a little bit of stretch. The hip area was a little tight, but I also have a relatively large butt which may have contributed to it. The plunging back is great, and kept wanting to show it off. The dress was also a little shorter than I thought it would be. I'm 5'5'' and it hit above my toes.
