Great statement piece, no need for a necklace or big earrings.

I wore this dress when my husband and I went out to celebrate our anniversary. The dress was great - very comfortable, and the purple and blue detailing around the waist is really flattering. It definitely ran small, I had ordered a 42 and a 44. When I tried on the 42, the bottom fit ok, but I literally could not zip it over my chest. But the 44 fit great so it was not a big deal. I would definitely suggest sizing up for a back up size though.

I rented this dress for a Friday afternoon wedding with an evening beach reception, and it was perfect, although undergarments were challenging. It requires an adhesive bra, unless you're able to go braless. Fashion tape was required for the top as the sheer piece across the front top did not lie nicely at all. But once taped into place, I was good to go all night. I was able to wear the dress again on Saturday night for a Food and Wine Festival, and again, it was perfect. I normally wear a 6 and got an 8 as my backup size. The 8 happened to be in the front when I opened my rental, so it was the first size I tried on. It fit nicely so I never even tried on the 6. Over all I really loved the dress - the bright color, the uniqueness of the cut, everything about it was fabulous.

I rented this for a very large black tie work event. I fell in love with it online, and I loved it in person. It fit like a glove. There were hooks in the straps to hold your bra strap in place, but that wasn't working for me - the V was so low that you could see the bra in the front and the back. I bought an adhesive bra and that worked just fine. Two minor things are keeping me from giving this dress 5 stars, and they're both about the hem. First, at 5'4", I thought the 'regular" length would be fine. It just skimmed the floor when I was barefoot, so add heels, and it was a little shorter than I would have liked. Second, on the dress I wore and on my backup size, the lining of the dress hung about 1" longer than the lace overlay. Since I was wearing this for a work dinner, I knew I'd be sitting most of the night, so it wasn't horrible, but I would have liked the lace a bit longer and the lining a bit shorter.

This was my first time renting a back up dress, but since it was a black tie work event, I wanted to be extra safe. In reading everyone's reviews, most people said it ran small, so I went up a size to an 8R. The fit was a bit odd on me - I felt like I would have wanted a size smaller in the body, but in the bust, it was snug and I wanted to try a size larger. I would definitely suggest ordering up a size if you're on the busty side. (I did like the built in bra!) Also the dress was really long - I'm 5'4", and the "regular" length was dragging at least an inch on the floor after I put on 4.5" heels. If this was the only dress I'd rented, it would have been fine to wear, however I just liked my first choice dress better.

The fabric on this dress was heavier than I expected, but that was fine since it was a cold night. I was torn between the 6 and the 8, I felt like the 6 was a bit too tight (especially in the hips) and the 8 was a bit too loose. In the end I wore the 8, but my husband thought they both looked good. I loved that I could wear a regular bra with this dress. The biggest negative is that both dresses definitely looked worn, I don't think anyone would notice unless they looked very close but the fabric had obviously been laundered multiple times. All in all I was very happy with the dress, and I did get a random compliment from another customer at the restaurant.
