I was so excited about this dress. Turns out the straps were too long, with no adjustability. So I put a stitch in them just so I could wear the dress. But the cut of the top was so bad that I spent the entire night making sure everything stayed where it was supposed to. (It didn't.) I am full-chested, and generally don't shy away from a bit of cleavage, so didn't had a problem filling out the top, just staying in it. There was plenty of coverage on the sides, but next to none in the front. So dancing was definitely out of the question, and I couldn't relax at all. On the plus side, pockets!

Fun for a summer wedding. The color was great and the flowy skirt was fun to dance in. I was inbetween sizes with the 2 and the 4. The straps on the 4 were too long so flapped and fell a little bit. So I wore the 2. It fit great everywhere, but was a little tight in the waist band, and the material has no stretch. It wasn't to the point that I was uncomfortable. It was very flattering in the neckline & bust. I wore it with a regualr bra, but I think I wouldnt wear one at all if I rented it again, which I think I will in a different color!

Loved this dress so much! Color was fantastic, fit was flattering, and I felt very comfortable in it, even though it was pretty low cut. Never felt like i was going to fall out, or had to re-adjust. Only negative was that it was CRAZY long! Even with 4 inch heels on, it had several inches of fabric dragging on the floor. I traded into flats later in the evening for dancing, and ended up tying the skirt up in a knot so i wasn't tripping all over it.

Rented this for my birthday dinner, and the color was definitely a standout. The fit was flattering although the material had little to no stretch. It was on the shorter side for sitting down, and all night long I found myself wanting to push up the sleeves to get comfortable, but that was not an option. Also, because the lace had no stretch either, it wasn't possible to lift my arms much at all.

I rented this dress for a christmas party, and loved the pop of white among all the red dresses. The sparkle was great and the material was dense, and heavy in a good way. It's probably a no-bra kind of dress, so the weight is definitely a comfort. And for white, there was never any concern about it being see-through. However, the fit was just unflattering. It was lose around the natural waist, which is where I'd rather highlight the slimmest part of my figure, but then it hugged around the belly, accentuating some of the curves I would have rather had a little coverage of. And it was kind of an awkward length, hitting right at the bottom of my knee. Maybe it just fit me wrong because I am on the shorter side. Were I 5'9 the length would probably have been better and may have hit a different part of my waist. It worked for the event, and I got nice compliments, but I just didn't love it.

LOVED this dress, but was surprised to see how much bluer it looked when I got it. Hugged in all the right places and the keyhole back is awesome. Great for a night out and a self-esteem boost too!

Extremely light weight. The material has a built in texture to it, so there is no need to worry about wrinkle. A little bigger than I would have wished, but the right belt makes it just right.

Despite looking flowing and draped the dress itself was very heavy in weight. Definitely something that would be too warm for an outdoor event in the summer. The color and style were great for the formal event. The fit was a little unflattering in the mid section were all the fabric comes together.

I have worn dresses by this designer before and the 4 always fit. This time I could not get it over my hips. So i wore the 6, and it still didn't fit right. One of the shoulders would not stay up. it was also way too long for me, even in 4 inch heels. I had to pick it up to carry it a lot which meant that all the fabric ended up bunching up around my middle, making me look bigger/ less flattering. It worked for the night, with a nice sparkle and a formal feel for the holiday black tie. But not a dress I would be eager to wear again.

Such an awesome dress! Light and flowing for a hot summer wedding, but fun for dancing too. The size 2 was a better fit on top, but too tight around the ribs so I wore the 4 & just made sure it was tied tight enough. The halter ties were very long, going all the way down to the top of the dress in the back. The dress was longer than it is on the model, going halfway down my shins, but it was so light that it worked perfectly. Plus I'm short, so I'm used to that happening to me. It was flattering in all areas & something I could be comfortable in all night. Sexy with the deep V neckline, nice coral color that matched the bright red lips, and the more orange toes. I got compliments all night, and got told by a few people that it's not cool to look as good as the bride.

I rented the 4 & the 6, and the 4 fit like a glove. But when I got to the event I had brought the 6! I was lucky that I had brought the fashion tape because it was essential for keeping the ladies tucked in. I wore it without a bra because the back is a little too low to wear with a regular bra. There was a little thread at the bottom of the V-neck that was supposed to keep it together, but it was too visible once the dress was on, so I just snipped it. This also gave me the perfect amount of classy cleavage. The 6 was definitely baggy, but it was such a beautiful dress that no one seemed to notice that it was too big. The color and sparkle were perfect and I had strangers stopping me all night to tell me what a wonderful dress it was.
