Beautiful dress! But the fit is a bit off.
The pattern is gorgeous and I loved the bow detail on the back! However it overall fit is a little strange. It is tight on top (I have broad shoulders) and loose on the waist. I also think it would have greatly benefited from a slit at the legs. The material is quite light, but without the slit, the dress looked heavier and made me look older than I hoped.

Sparkle and shine!
These earrings are the perfect accessory to add some sparkle to a holiday outfit! They are large hoops that really standout regardless of how you wear your hair.

Loved this dress, but sadly it did not fit.
I wanted this dress to work so badly! It is absolutely adorable, and is the perfect holiday dress. However, it definitely runs a bit small. I rented the size 4, and while it zipped up and was only a little tight on my hips, I could not raise my arms above shoulder height or bend them more than 90 degrees. I would definitely recommend the dress, but you should consider sizing up.

Fine, but not great.
I rented this dress for a holiday party. Although, it arrived late (after my party), I would not have worn it even if it had arrived on time. I rented the size Small, which was very tight. I am usually a Size 4-6, but I would definitely recommend sizing up in this dress. Additionally, I felt that it looked more like a cheer-leading uniform than a cocktail dress, since the material was thick and somewhat stretchy. Overall, I would not recommend.

Sad I wasn't able to wear it...
I received this jumpsuit late (after the party I had rented it for), so I was not able to wear it out. However, I tried it on, and it was so cute! I will definitely rent it again for a holiday party! The sequins are really pretty and the overall fit is very fitted. I would recommend sizing up for backup, but it felt very true to size.

Perfect for summer!
Such a cute dress! It runs a bit small, so I ended up wearing the Medium, which was a bit too large, but still fit pretty well and I received a bunch of compliments! The MR was also the perfect length. I am 5'6" and was able to wear 3" heels.

Comfortable, work appropriate and a little sexy!
This dress was perfect to wear to a work holiday party! The cutouts make it a little sexy, but the nexk and hemline help to make sure it is totally work appropriate. This dress definitely does run small however - I usually wear a size 4/small, but the S/M would not sip up. Other than that, this dress is absolutely gorgeous and very comfortable!

Gorgeous AND Comfortable!
This was seriously a great jumpsuit! Revealing enough, without showing too much! I would 100% buy this jumpsuit to wear to any event. The Long was definitely long, as I am 5'6 and wore 3.5" heels, and it was still dragging a bit. The only drawback I found, was that it is very difficult to tie the back by myself, as the arms were very tight, with no elasticity - so make sure you bring a friend to the bathroom!

Wore this jumpsuit for a date. My fiance loved it and I got complements from complete strangers as well! It is super flattering because of the pleats. But definitely use fashion tape to hold the top in place! I SO wish I owned this!

This dress definitely runs a bit small, but it has stretch everywhere except the waist, so it is pretty comfortable. I can't tell you how many compliments I received about the dress - it really is gorgeous! Very classy look!

I wore this jumpsuit for a casual wedding. It was super comfortable to wear all day, and I received numerous compliments! Definitely order a size up as backup because the hips can be a bit tight.

Gorgeous and formal with a flair!
The dress is very fitted, but I wore it for over 10 hours (the wedding started at 1PM) and it only became uncomfortable at the very end of the night. I received a ton of compliments, and the pattern was subtle but beautiful. I would definitely wear this dress again! Also it has pockets... which is always a fun surprise!

So fun, and so many compliments!
This was a fantastic jumpsuit, I got a ton of compliments! It was super comfortable to dance in all night, and with a light jacket was warm enough to be outside in late October (in RI). I was worried that the strapless top would fall down, but it stayed in place due to a thin liner at the top and interior boning. The boning was pliable and did not dig into me at all, which helped ensure that the jumpsuit was comfortable all night. While this is definitely non-traditional wedding guest attire, it was absolutely formal enough for a cocktail attire wedding. Definitely recommended (though you may get some awkward stares from older guests...)!

This was a great necklace. It was large, but not cumbersome or heavy at all. It was very pretty and perfectly complimented the strapless jumpsuit I wore.

Gorgeous DC Wedding
The dress is beautiful, and I received a ton of compliments about how pretty it was! The main issue I had however, was that the lining of the size 4 was so tight that I couldn't sit down. I had to wear the size 6, which was a bit too large. However, once belted, the 6 worked perfectly! Basically, if you don't plan on sitting, the dress is true to size and fits great! But because of the lining, you may want to consider a size larger than normal. Additionally, if you have larger shoulders (an athletic build) this dress is not for you. I had trouble raising my arms above shoulder height, due to the restrictive sleeves.

Received a TON of compliments!
Dress was very flattering on top, and even gave me the appearance of a larger bust! It was a bit tight in the hip/thigh area though, so if you are pear shaped (like me!) it may help to go a size up.

Fabulous dress to wear the the Bacchus Ball during Mardi Gras
It was a gorgeous dress, and I loved all the sequence. It was a bit short however. I am 5'6, and I was expecting the regular to be long enough to wear with heels. However, it was actually about 1 inch too short, so I had to wear sandles and pull the dress down as far as it would stretch. However, it did stretch out throughout the night, and by the end of the evening it was about 4 inches too long, so heels would have been fine. I would recommend bringing both heels and flats with you to the event so that you can wear the appropriate shoe based on the time of night. But regardless of the length issues, it is a beautiful dress, and I got a ton of compliments!

I wore this dress for New Years, in NYC.
It was a bit large, but that may be because I wore a size 6 when I am normally closer to a 4. The sequence cut into my arms a bit when I had my hands down by my side. Additionally the dress was very heavy because of all the sequence, but other than that it was a fabulous dress and I received a ton of compliments.
