So many compliments!! I had people coming up all night letting me know this dress was their favorite at the event, and I don’t know how you get better than that. Sorry for not having the best picture. For sizing, the small was great on me. I’m usually a 6 on bottom, 4 on top; 27” waist and 39” hips. The dress is flowy on the bottom, so no need to worry about being too tight on the hips. I am a 30DD though and there is no wearing a normal bra with this one. It has both a plunging back and front, so I used tape to give myself the support I needed and it was perfect. I am always a little wary of showing too much cleavage, but didn’t feel that way with this dress. It is a beautiful soft pink color and the shimmer is great. I am a Soft Summer (if you follow seasonal color analysis) and this was an amazing color for me. For styling, the shoulder pads didn’t bother me; I expanded the strap at the neck so that the shoulders would sit wider, slightly off my shoulders, and I feel like it enhanced the structural look of them. I would definitely rent it again!!

This brand continues to knock it out of the park! I was very comfortable in the size 4 (I am usually a 4 on top and 6 on bottom), and the dress has a decent amount of stretch in it. Thank goodness because there’s no zipper! I have a 27” waist and 39” hips. The color is amazing, and is actually slightly cooler than it reads in this photo; it’s more of a wine red than a burgundy. If you follow color season analysis, I’m a Soft Summer and this was a great color for me. It has built in cups and I felt overall very supported even with a 30DD size. The only thing I wish I had done differently was use a little fashion tape on the sleeves at the shoulders. I had to keep my arms held out ever so slightly to keep the off-shoulder design from falling down. This was not an issue at all during most of the night, but it became more noticeable when dancing! But if I pulled the ‘sleeves’ up onto my shoulders, the back looked a little strange. So tape would have helped me. All in all, I would not hesitate to rent this again, and recommend it to others. It is a head-turner for sure, and you should be prepared for compliments!

I ultimately did not wear this dress even though it looked amazing because, believe it or not, there was one I loved just that much more, but I may just have to find another event and get this one back! I am often self-conscious about my curves, but this dress highlighted them in the best way possible, and the ruffle was so fun. I am a bit pear shaped (4 on top, 6 on bottom), so the top of the size 6 was a little big, but the boning made everything look and feel wonderful and secure. Would definitely recommend!

I felt like I was right in between sizes, but ended up sizing up for a slightly better fit, especially on the top. The dress has a really nice weight to it, and flows beautifully. I wore the Long because I wore 3.5” heels and it worked out well - I would definitely recommend this dress!

I didn't end up wearing this one because of the length - I am 5'-7" and even with platform 3.5" heels, it was just too long. I should have rented the 6R! Otherwise, it was true-to-size, and sexy without being over the top. Given the chance, I would definitely rent it again, just in the regular length!

Perfect for our black tie event. The dress was well structured and I didn’t feel the need to fidget at all in it - not the norm in my experience! I got lots of compliments and felt great - would definitely wear this again!
