It's definitely a cute, fun, and playful type of dress. I wasn't crazy about the material - it looked and felt different than I'd imagined from the online pictures and reviews. It had a natural stiffness and poof to it that was unexpected, but it was flirty and fun (but not scandalously short or inappropriate for my friend's wedding!). The top part was snug in the rib cage area, so I opted to go up a size. It was nice that you could wear a strapless bra underneath (although I didn't even bother since the dress was snug, secure, and thick enough to go without). A busty girl might want to avoid this one - I'm small chested and felt it was quite snug. Overall a cute, fun dress for the evening!

There were a few (very few!) beads missing, but no one noticed but me since the overall look and effect were still intact. The dress is beautiful, classy, and perfect for the wedding I attended. I received so many compliments! The skirt does have quite a bit of "poof" to it, so don't pick this one if you're trying to make yourself look very slight. Would absolutely recommend and I'm just sad it's not available for the date of the next wedding I'm attending (I'd definitely rent it again!).

I loved this dress and enjoyed its pockets tremendously! Didn't have the most slimming effect, so I'd avoid it if you're trying to give a slimmer presentation of yourself, but the fabric, color, and cut were beautiful and I found it flattering anyways. Wanted to keep it for myself instead of sending it back!

I loved this dress in its pictures online, but it just didn't have a "wow" factor for me in person. It seems like it was cut for a very differently shaped person than me, so it had an overall widening and shortening effect on me. It was still pretty and the color was brilliant, but it was not one I wanted to wear out to show off or even take photos in.

I had no idea what the dress code was for the wedding I was going to, so I erred on the side of fancy but not too formal with this dress. I was definitely better dressed than most of the guests (!), but felt really good anyways. It hugs curves in the right places, it's a gorgeous color, and the sparkle detail gives it a little pop. The "v" neck did sit a little lower than I expected so I got a little sunburn (the dangers of an outside wedding in CA!), It was amazing being able to wear a normal bra during a formal event though, so it gets high marks from me just based on that alone! I got the 2 and 4 sizes and they actually both fit nicely. I went with the 2 so I wouldn't have to worry about the lower neckline moving around on me, but the 4 was a little more comfortable in the hips, so I guess it depends on which area you're worried about. I would definitely recommend this one (and might buy it if I saw it in a store!).

This is definitely a very pretty dress - the deep blue and sparkles made it my first choice for a wedding I was attending. I thought it was beautiful in person as well, but it was just a little too long for comfort. I had planned to wear flats or short/medium heels with it (so that's what I packed for my trip for the wedding), but I would have needed really, really tall heels to feel comfortable walking and especially dancing in it. With 3" heels, it was dragging on the floor. I wear "long" size dresses and pants all the time since I'm all legs (short upper body, long legs), but I would have needed a "regular," not a "long" to be able to dance in this dress (I suspect I still would have needed tall heels as well). Was hoping to wear a long dress so I could get away with flats (since my boyfriend is my height and we look cute at the same height), but I went with my truly adorable backup dress instead (the Eva Franco Nova dress). I still recommend this dress since it's pretty, but I wouldn't recommend the "long" length even if you're tall!

I rented two dresses and thought I'd be wearing the other, longer dress to my friend's wedding, however that dress turned out to be a little *too* long for comfort (and dancing!). I was very glad I got this dress as my backup option and wasn't sure about it based on its picture. The picture doesn't do it justice - it's super cute and kind of fun and flirty without being immodest. It was a great dress for a night of dancing and was also long enough that I felt comfortable sitting down (it's not one of those short dresses where half of your behind is on the chair when you sit down). It fit snugly which I liked, but I wouldn't recommend it for ladies with large busts because there's not much extra room in the front (I thought it flattened my front ever so slightly, but it still looked awesome). I'm usually between a 0 and a 4 (differing with brands) and I got the 4 and felt it was nicely snug (I was concerned it might be big), Worth checking out!
