Beautiful!
Loved this dress. Perfect fly flirty keyhole for a smaller chested girl. I used pads to fill out and DS tape to keep things in place. Loved the stretchiness and length too. I'm very hippy (hip dips/saddlebags) and I thought it was flattering for that even because of the lace. Would love to own this dress.

So Sparkly!
I wore the XS but would've preferred the small (unavailable). I had the medium as backup but it was way too big in the chest for my small A chest. I used boob pads and ds tape to keep things in place but the chest band was a bit tight in the XS for my 32-34 band size rib cage (again, i would've preferred the small size). Tons of compliments and LOVED the metallic sheen. Would look amazing with gold heels.

Elegant
This fit well and was comfortable! I could dance, sit, stand, even scooter but the back was so long!! I'm 5'5" and 125 lbs and wore the 2R and had to hold up the side to keep my heels from puncturing through the lace when I walked. However, it was beautiful!

Great dress
The 2 was just too snug around my hips and the 4 fit perfect. Wore a strapless bra with it since I don't have much up top. The dress material is thick and has a liner and hid all the lumps on its own. Great for the wedding dinner and dancing!

Wish I had worn it!
I didn't end up wearing this back-up dress because my husband voted for the red one but I was IN LOVE with this dress. Very understated but the back cut out makes it a little playful. The detail on this is incredible. The sleeves were silky and comfy. The length was a little long on me but appreciated for a winter work function. I wish I had another event this weekend that I could've worn both! It was a little loose on the top but I don't think I would've gone down a size. There's enough detail in the bust area that you can wear it braless or just with sticky boob things (no way to wear a strapless bra). Sorry for the weird face in the pic, always awkward asking the husband to take photos.

Compliment magnet
Great dress! It fit just a bit loose in the waist and torso but that worked out okay as I wore it bra-less but the fabric is thick enough that no one was the wiser. The back sheer black section dipped a little too low to wear a regular strapless bra with this. The bright red color really popped and got a lot of compliments. I was worried it would look like I was wearing a table-cloth but the fabric was great in person. Also, the bit of pleats in the top waist section gave it a nice fullness and a silky red nylon liner kept it from feeling itchy. I would rent again and recommend it to anyone!

Right dress, wrong body
The dress itself is fine. Thick stretchy material. Just felt like a sack of potatoes. Even with spanx. It looked good in all the photos but in hindsight, those people are built a little different and my hip dips could not recover. I will usually post photos with my face but not this one for obvious reasons.

Elegant and dramatic!
Great dress! I wore to a black tie wedding and it was classy and sexy. I got a lot of compliments! I think the lacy sleeves, neckline and back are quite dramatic and elegant. The Small was more comfortable on my hips but I needed the XS for the top so that it didn't pucker out or have too much gap in the armpits. I'm a 34B but the stretchy material is made to hold someone much larger so i ended up going with the XS. I used bra pad inserts with no bra and double sided tape and didn't have a problem. Very comfortable for dancing the night away.

Great night in a great dress!
The 0R and 2R seemed almost the exact same. I think they were the exact same length and I wore 3" heels and I'm 5' 4 3/4" and it was juussst the right length. Another half inch and I probably would've stepped on it. The 0R seemed to pucker in the back right above my butt so I went with the 2R and it was very comfortable. I have a strapless bra that has a clear connector strap in the middle and it worked great, didn't show anything but dress tape is a must to keep everything in place when eating or moving. I'm very small up top and did use some bra inserts to help fill things out a bit more but it wouldn't have been mandatory. I got lots of compliments and felt so elegant! Just wished I would've taken a better picture to be able to share with all of you.
