Fits like a dream
Size up. The dress is soft, comfortable, professional, and trendy. The material is thick and forgiving

Tons of compliments!
The only con is the slit is really high and flies up easily. I used a little bit of fashion tape and it stayed in place

AMAZING! I felt like a princess!
This dress was everything!!!! I rented it for a masquerade themed NYE party and I got compliments on it all night. The gold was beautiful and stood out against the usual black dresses. Some people had commented that the glitter scratched their arms but I did not have that problem that much. It was a little itchy when I first put it on but I didn't notice it after a few minutes (and didn't have any scratches the next day!). Fit: The dress fit almost perfectly. I usually wear a 8 or 10 in dress (10 for professional wear). When it comes to strapless, I usually go for a 10 because I'm a 34DD and don't like too much cleavage. I ordered the 10L and 12L. The 10L fit so well I did not even try on the 12L. The bust held up perfectly. Normally in a strapless I am spending half the night pulling the dress up. I planned to use fashion tape but of course I forgot. It was not a problem and I had to adjust the dress maybe twice the entire night. The stomach fit well and hides any little imperfections. This particular dress was a little stretched out at the stomach so I wish it was a little tighter (the 8 would have been to tight on the bust) but it still looked great. Two things I didn't know about the dress: length & weight. The length is really long. I am 5'6" and wore 5 inch heels and it was still long. It was not a problem for me to walk in because I am used to walking in long dresses but I did get stepped on a couple times. The dress is heavy. It does not feel heavy when you're wearing it but it retains heat on the inside. My legs were really hot and I had to pull the dress up a little to let my legs breath! I would 100% recommend this dress for a formal event when you want to stand out. I'm even considering renting it again :)

Did not fit well but loved the color
I rented this as my back up for my 25th birthday. I did not like the fit or the color. I didn't like how it sat on my stomach, it seemed to poof out making me look pregnant. The bust fit okay but it looked awkward. This dress would look great on someone with a smaller bust and a more petite figure!

LOVED the color & the fit!
I rented this for my 25th birthday. I got the 8 and 10 because I usually wear a 8 in dress but was unsure because of the bust. The 10 was a little more comfortable on the top but I probably should have worn the 8 as the 10 got loose as the night went on. It was gorgeous and the perfect amount of shine. I have a large bust (34DD) so I am always hesitant with strapless but I felt covered and classic. The flare of the skirt hides little imperfections well. The top of it did get a little loose as the night went out so I had to keep pulling it up. Next time, I would use fashion tape and maybe a pin to my bra (I wore a strapless under this to give a little support because there isn't much support in this dress).
