Sexy silhouette
I didn’t end up wearing this bc I had other options that were more visually memorable, but I really liked this dress. Many of the comments say this runs small and I ordered this size as a backup (normally a 12-14). It was definitely easier to zip up but I would have worn the 14, as the top felt a bit loose at this size.

Lovely, conservative with a little peek-a-boo
I don’t end up wearing this because I had so many good options, but this dress is a stunner and arrived with tags still on it. The top layer with beading and embroidery is sheer, and the opaque liner is a sweetheart neckline and hits just below the knees so there’s a bit of sexy even as it feels somewhat covered-up (a plus for me). I had a very hard time deciding which of my options to wear and went with the other bc it was more unusual. I think this could be scratchy under the arms throughout the evening from the beads.

Gorgeous, unique, stunner
Beautiful coral red color (orangey), fabric is kind of neoprene (like a thin wet suit), but it smooths out everything helped with a little boning in the dress. It was a tight zip but once I got into it was very comfortable through the evening. So many compliments on the neck line, color, etc. I would consider buying this.

Cute, but a little scratchy
I rented this as a backup to the primary rental for a formal wedding in August. I was very tempted to wear it (I don't like showing off my arms or cleavage and this was a good style that didn't feel conservative or wintery) but ultimately went with a blousier style strictly for comfort. Fits well and glad I'd listened to advice to rent up a size.

This is gorgeous, but at least a size small
I ordered a 10; normally wear a size 10 jeans, but the zipper wasn't even close to being able to zip. It's a shame -- I probably would have worn this dress, as I had perfectly matching pink velvet shoes. But the fabric is lovely, and the bow isn't obnoxiously large.

Obsessed. These were amazing and made me feel like a million bucks.
A bit heavy, and they left a gray mark on my earlobes at the end of the night from non-precious metals. But I'd absolutely rent these again (or hell, just buy them!)

Love the pockets, and got tons of compliments! This is a quality dress.
Arms aren't tight like a lot of tailored sleeves. Fits close to the rib cage but doesn't hug the thighs so you can move freely.
