Great dress but get the right bra!
The dress was the perfect fit and length but I did not realize until just before we were leaving that my standard strapless bra would not work. I did a quick try on the day I got the dresses to see what size would fit better. Take the time to try this one on as you would wear it and get the adequate bra; the neckline is unique. I think that adhesive would have worked best if I had taken the time.

Christmas 2016 Dress!
This dress fits true to size. I did not have to wear and bra and though I am usually a "0", my Aunt Flo had me retaining water at the time. The "2" was perfect! I am a shorty and the hem was just right. The skirt is a bit "puffier" than I anticipated by not at all unmanageable. The zipper got stuck half way up and unneeded his help to get it zipped. I was very pleased with my dress selection and it's style.

Great color, style and fabric but weird bunching...
The color is more of a cobalt blue than the navy shown in the picture which I liked! The style is sexy with the lace cutout and the fabric is so soft and light. The only problem I had was there is some weird bunching in the stomach area. While trying it on, I constantly have to adjust by pulling on the skirt to smooth out the bunching. In just a few steps, it would be three again. I may try a size 0 next time because again, the style is unique to me. I did not end up wearing this dress because of that bunching.

Classic
I loved this dress. It is light and softly fitting. The off the shoulder style is not over done in the dress. It truly is a classic. The only issue was that I accidentally ordered a long size and am 5'-2. It dragged too much. I did not end up wearing it but will rent again in the appropriate length.

Creates an awkward shape in your chest
The color was beautiful, the material was good quality and the style was glamorous but the ruching in the chest was not flattering. It flattened one of my breast and dug into the middle of the other! My chest looked lopsided. Both sizes did the same thing. I did not wear this free and will not rent it again.

Sexy and class!
I loved this dress! The 0 was smaller on my than I expected. I will order the size 2 next time. I did not end up wearing this dress because we got news the wedding was jean casual. Bummer. The style and sharpe is so unique and fun! The dress fell in the middle of my thigh which is what I wanted. The material does show undergarment seams so be prepared to have a solution or special bra/alternative before wearing it. I will definitely order this again to actually wear!

Beautiful dress. Wish it fit!
This dress is more beautiful in person. The material is thicker than I expected and the pattern is stunning. The only problem is that the even the size 0 was too big and long for me. I wanted it to fit so bad! There was room in the bust and I believe you have to be a C to wear it properly. My main concern was the waist. There was so much room around my waist that a belt would help. I knew the dress would be a little longer on me since I am I am short but this was pretty comical. Beautiful dress though!

Great for an outdoor wedding.
Love the fit and shape of the dress. It was true to size. Hugged me perfectly without that tight, uncomfortable feeling. The wedding was in the summer and outside. The material was just right; not too light or heavy. The style and shape was unique and amazing! Love looking back at photos in this dress!

Surprisingly fun!
This was so fun to wear! The skirt moves with you so well! The fit is true to size. Regularly I am an XS which I ordered. Only problem is that I wore it to Thanksgiving dinner and the fit after was not so attractive, as you can see... My fault; didn’t think! The material is a bit thicker and stretch material but it does not fall or rise. I think you can where this dress to a wedding, a party, a shower! It is really an all-around great dress. I plan to rent it again for a friend’s wedding this year. I don’t plan on eating such a big bird then!

Wore for my engagement photos!
I loved this dress! It was unique, girly and edgy! The fit was great. The fit was great! It was hard for me to choose between the size 2 and 0 because they felt pretty much the same. I wore the size 0 in the photos and what I did realize is that the bodice is noticeably short; the smaller size is shorter. I was so excited that I focused on the fit and didn't take the time to notice the length. Other than that, I couldn't see myself in another dress in my engagement photos! I love the print, the color and the material!

Meow!
I wore this dress to Valentine's dinner and I loved it! It is a very elastic, "strechy" material so I would order a size up. It hugs in all the right places. The pattern was so fun! I feared the dress would ride up and it never did. I would rent this again.

Fun style!
I thought that this was a really unique style but I select a size that was larger on me than I anticipated. Therefore, the dress did not fit properly and looked very "boxy". Thankfully, it was my backup style and I ended up sticking with my original dress.

Too many sequins make it a bit itchy...
I order this dress as a second style for the Military Ball but did not end up wearing it. I selected the 0L thinking that I needed more length for my high heels. I really didn't. The size 0 fit fine bit there are so many sequins that I was already itchy in the first two minutes of trying it on. Heavier than I thought it would be and it is more of a light, almost baby pink than a champagne color like the model shows. I don't think I will be trying this dress on in a shorter size in the future.

Happy to be wearing this gown when he proposed!
This dress will always be special to me because my fiancé proposed to me while wearing in front of the entire brigade at the Military Ball! I was frantic looking for a dress at the last minute in April (Prom Season) and was not really sold on this dress. I rented a second style with this order. I did not like the way the other dress fit and when I tried on the size 0R, it fit me like a glove!! I felt extremely sexy and elegant at the same time. The top of the 0R was a little worn and the boning started to dig into my chest as the night went on. The bottom flows so nicely and it is an extremely light dress. I am so proud to be wearing this dress in all the pictures and videos that were taken. I also liked that the sleeves fell more off my shoulders than what the model shows. LOVE THIS DRESS!

Flowy and so comfortable, you won't want to take it off!
I did not want to take this dress off! It was so comfortable! I rented it in a 2R and 4R but am now aware that 0R work best for me. Though it was too big for me (reason for 4 stars), no one could tell because of how flowy it is. Very light for the amount of fabric that is there! It is more of an darker emerald green than I believe the picture shows. I feared the slit would be a problem since most of the members of the banquet are very reserved. The slit was not as dramatic as the model shows and sometimes I would forget that it had a slit because the material covered! Might be because the size was too large on me. It can be dressed up or down! I was very pleased with my choice to receive my award.
