I loved this dress it. It was cute and comfortable. I rented it as my back up dress for a wedding... and since my first choice fit as I'd hoped, I decided to figure out a way to wear this before it had to be sent back because I loved it too. So, I wore this to the brunch the morning after the wedding. I wore it with a blue chunky necklace that I rented for the dress I wore the night before. All Kate Spade. This was less formal than what I ended up wearing (pink/white stripe Kate Spade dress), though it could have worked for the wedding, and certainly worked for a daytime party too.

I absolutely loved this dress. It was perfect for a California wedding with a bride who absolutely loves pink. Like other reviewers said, you can tell that the dress has been rented many times, but I did not find there to be an issue with its quality at all. It was comfortable and flattering. The perfect combination. Easy to zip up, though a bit big in the chest. I ended up going with the 8 because it felt more comfortable around the waist, though the 6 fit too. If you're between sizes, you may end up going with the smaller size... just depends no your proportions. I paired with a blue chunky Kate Spade necklace that I also rented and gold wedges. I'd rent this one again in a heartbeat!

This dress is gorgeous. I wore it to a wedding, in which my husband was part of the military honor guard. These days I usually wear a size 8, and I was a bit nervous that would be too small based on other reviews. But it fit like a glove. I felt comfortable, and confident wearing this dress. Best of all, for me, there is ample coverage on top without being frumpy. I am thrilled it comes in other colors and plan to order it again in another color option next time. Also - I didn't notice it at the time, but in looking at the picture I posted, I probably could have used the longer length with the 3-inch heals I was wearing so the dress would graze the floor.

This dress was my back up dress and, while it fit well, I was very pleased that my first choice dress fit. This is a gorgeous dress, but my stomach area is my most troublesome spot, and this dress really pulls across the stomach making it perfect for those with great abs!

This was my back up dress for a wedding, and it was a lovely back up to have. It slips on over the head, which is a little strange, but manageable. It seems to have a little stretch to it and even felt a bit big for a size 8. It's kind of a leopard print behind the sparkle and has a side bow, which I didn't realize from the picture. But, it was comfortable and elegant. I probably wouldn't rent it again, but I was happy to have it as an option when my first choice dress didn't fit.
