Sleeves had very limited mobility and were attached in a strange way.

Well made, beautiful, simple, elegant cut. Lovely dress.
Really liked this dress, more than I expected. Heavy quality fabric, lovely just off-white color, simple yet very flattering design. Simply perfect for what it is. And yes, it is short. I am 5'5" and it was mid-thigh on me. I wore it with strappy sandals for a night out with my husband at a nice, more conservative restaurant and it was perfect. Gotta love good leg make-up (Sally Hansen is my go-to for this). I am a little curvy so the 2 just fit given the very straight nature of the style. If you have a bit extra on the top or bottom, you may want to size up just to make sure the dress keeps its smooth, subtle A line. Has a conservative, 50s vibe but it's still hot. My husband loved it.

Loved it. Felt beautiful and comfortable wearing it.
I really loved this dress. It is a keeper. Wore it to a dinner party that was a bit more casual than I expected. I wore sandals that looked exactly like the model's above and they worked perfectly to dress it down. It worked as it is not a 'fancy' dress. It runs large. I'm a typical 4 and the 2 fit great, with a bit of room to spare, especially in the belly area. This is great is you are planning on eating for real and you don't want to be self-conscious about your tummy. The dress kept it all smooth. Very high quality, looks pricey, feels pricey, very unique, sexy and conservative all at the same time which is totally a style I love, especially when it's a social thing around work people with your husband. Sorta short so keep that in mind. I used some Sally Hanson tan stocking spray and it worked great. Wish I had taken a pic. I will say that if you are disproportionate in any way, this may not be the dress for you because that would be emphasized. But no need for under support because the dress will smooth anything extra out. Enjoy :-)

Felt like a princess in this dress
So absolutely beautiful. So many compliments. Caught a lot of people staring, not at me so much but at the DRESS. I can tell the difference. Was not offended. Very comfortable MINUS the fact that the boning was poking through and I had to put some folded up toilet paper in between the dress and my skin to avoid being impaled. After I did that though, it was all good. The dress had to be amazing for me to go through those paces and it was so worth it. Unique, stunning, classy, stand-out - one of the nicest dresses I've ever worn. I'm 5'5' so the back bottom dragged just a bit, but not enough to ever trip me. Snug fit on the top meant it was not going anywhere. Strapless bra never stuck out. Perfect. Loved the pockets and the way it framed my cute black strappy sandals. You will never regret or forget this dress.

Super hot dress, but I needed a 6. I've been wearing a 2 lately and needed a 6.
Whoa! Great dress. Nicely made. Material not as interesting as it could have been but stretchy and high-quality. Runs super small. I was a bit self-conscious. Lots of boobs and butt, but in a classy way. I didn't have a back-up option available so I rolled with it. The style was great but size up ladies! My husband loved it of course.

Great dress! Simple, cute, comfortable, sparkling!
Rented this for a party where I wanted to be cute and festive, but not too sexy. This dress fit that bill perfectly. It has a bit of sparkle that you can't really see in pictures that makes it fun. Very well constructed. Holds everything in place all night. I danced and moved around and I did not even have to think about the dress because it stayed perfectly put. I felt great in it and my husband loved it. I usually wear more form-fitting things but I think this one had enough of the cute factor to make it memorable too. I have a smaller upper body and a big butt, so the 2 fit perfectly as it really only had to fit the top part. Very happy :-)

Beautiful pattern, great color, really nice and flattering design, extra comfortable, thumbs up!
I really liked this dress. It reminded me of one of those old, beautiful Chinese vases. Thick material means that no under armor is necessary. I wore it to a fancy brunch that I attended with my husband. He really liked it. I bounce between a 4 and a 2 which in this case meant that the 4 (they did not have a 2 available) was a tad too big throughout. This made it very comfortable and ok seeing as though it was an full-on brunch event. I would have liked to have worn the 2 though, just from a fit standpoint. I really loved the pattern. It was striking. Perfect for a nice day event. I dressed it down in some camel slip-on heels and it worked.

Beautiful color, classic, classy design, nice fabric, just a little racy but not too much.
Fit like a glove. I bounce between a 2 and a 4 and this time, the 4 fit perfectly. I could wear a bra but needed fashion tape to keep it from showing. No biggy. The color was striking. Didn't expect to like it quite as much as I did. It did ride up a bit so I had to pull it down if I needed to stand up. It has a lining so I needed to manage both it and the dress. A little extra work. Super comfortable, but doesn't hide anything so be mindful if you are planning a feast. My husband loved it. I felt really good in it. Got tons of compliments and the VIP treatment at the party we went to so I can't complain. I have modest boobs so I could pull a little cleavage out to give it some extra. But if you have big boobs, beware. They will be out there in this dress so prepare yourself. Total thumbs up.

The color, style and the feel of this dress was amazing. The fabric was rich and high quality.
Beautiful dress. Classy, sexy, bold and subtle. It is a real gem. You could wear it to a work event and feel great. You can wear it out and feel great. I wore it for a night out with my husband and he loved it. It was the most noticeable thing in the whole place because of the stand-out color. Yet because it is so classy and fit so nicely, I was ok with that. I usually wear a 4 (5'5", 125-130 lbs, athletic/curvy), but the 4 was too big. I could have gotten away with it but thank goodness I got the 2 as back-up because of past reviews (thank you!). The 2 was perfect. Ridiculously comfortable. Such a beautiful, elegant design. I would absolutely recommend it and I would absolutely wear it again.

The dress is beautiful. The color was lovely and and the material was super high quality.
Really liked this dress. Comfortable for a fitted dress. I danced for hours with no problem! No spanx needed. The dress does the job for you. Watch the lining. It can get a little out of alignment with the side seam. I am usually a 4 but I wore the 2 because the 4 was a tad loose. The 2 was probably a tiny, tiny bit too small, but I still liked the fit better. It was great combination of classic, classy and sexy. I wasn't self-conscious like I can be if I am wearing something a little bit over the top. The length is great and it covers just enough. I got a lot of compliments and my husband loved it. So glad I rented it . It was perfect for this day party.

It was the hottest thing there. The looks I got said it all.
It was so flattering. Just the right amount of sexy and sassy, but still classy. True to size and very comfortable. I needed some fashion tape to make sure my bra did not poke up on the top. I just wore regular Calvin Klein stockings (no underwear) and the dress did the rest. So many compliments. Even more looks. My husband loved it, and loves Rent The Runway for it. I wore it with a black choker to give it a slightly more saucy look and it worked. Loved this dress. Loved it.
