The non-stop complements! Everyone kept asking me where I got this fabulous dress!
I wore this dress to a wedding that started at 4:30 p.m. when the sun was still out. It was the perfect dress for that time frame because it was bold and colorful for day time but still classy into the evening without feeling dressed down amongst a sea of black cocktail dresses. I would rent this baby again and again!

I could not zipper the bust and even if it did, I would not wear it. It has a quilt-like pattern that reminds me of a 1970's bedspread. Blech...

Carmen Marc Valvo does it again!!!
I just spent the last year attending tons of weddings and fundraisers and each time I rented a Carmen Marc Valvo dress I was never disappointed. This dress fit true to size and you could do a normal bra underneath with no issue. If you are looking to effortlessly chic and at the same time be comfy as heck, this is the dress for you!
Impressionist Dress

Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 9"

What stood out for me was the expert architecture of this dress.
The dress for exactly to size. I would highly recommend belting it because it otherwise creates a shortened torso look so make sure to grab a belt! The entire night I was getting overwhelmed with complements from folks stating the dress had beautiful colors and created a retro-glam illusion. I always rent Carmen Marc Valvo, he makes excellent dresses for the conservative yet stylish as hell girl!
Candy Bouquet Dress
Carmen Marc Valvo
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 9"
Bust: 36D
Loved this dress. Have worn it in both colors and would do it again!
The bust is tight. If you get the right bra to shove them in the dress is effortlessly amazing, so anyone over a DD (the RTR size chart does not have DDD in it) be warned. The pockets are a huge advantage and the dress does allow you to drink a little and not look bloated due to the miraculous darting. I would wear this again, I just wish my bust was a little more comfortable. Not a single complaint otherwise.
