The color - wow!!

STUNNING vibrant color, kimono-esque up top gives plenty of room to fit all bust sizes. Cut is deep enough to be sexy but not so deep you'll worry about wardrobe malfunctions. 100% polyester material is very thin, but not clingy. Panty lines WILL show. Length seemed like it would be good for a variety of people, I am 5'5" and wore 3" heels and dress barely grazed the floor. The back of this dress zips up the skirt to waist, and then has 2 eye hooks on the back: one in the middle and one at the neckline. THE BACK IS OPEN aside from these closures, I ended up wearing a lacy halter bralette as a regular bra would have shown in the back. There is NO stretch in this dress, keep in mind for fitting your hips. I am a true apple shape so the waistline was tightest for me - I ended up wearing the size 12, I didn't even try the 10 on even though I usually wear a size 10 (but I've been a bit sloppy with my diet sooo it could be true sizing right now lol). My tummy pooch is the one area I want to hide and this dress did do a surprisingly good job of that despite the tight fit in the lower abdomen and hips. Also note: you WILL need to steam or iron this dress if it arrives slightly wrinkled. I used a low-heat iron on the back of the fabric and it worked great, it didn't seem to be an issue the rest of the night. There is also a slit up the left leg (which I personally like). Overall, it's a beautiful and VERY comfortable dress, if you keep all notes in mind. I appeared to be the first to wear this dress as there were no prior reviews and both dresses arrived with tags. Took a chance, glad it worked out, but would probably not be my very first choice if I hadn't needed to rent 3 days before my event. But I'd wear this pop of color over a safe black dress if that's your thing!

Sparkles!

Dress fit great and is super cute. Fabric has a little give, my only complaint was that the sparkles were a little scratchy. Otherwise a VERY flattering dress!

Great for a date! Clasp was sturdy, lots of room, hidden strap if you need one. What's not to love?!

Unique fabric shapes your body and looks AMAZING!

This dress fits snug, but the unique fabric (sort of reminded me of a wetsuit, but breathable) helps shape you like spanx. I could tell some of the feathers were a bit worn, but no one else will notice. They give the dress just the right amount of wow factor. I LOVED this dress!!

Strange fit but STUNNING once on!

The fabric is very thin, but is cut in a way that is very flattering. It does wrinkle easy, so have a hand held steamer ready! Very fitted at the bust! This dress will make you feel like an Italian diva!

I was worried that I would be fighting to keep this piece on all night, but one I slipped it around my neck, it stayed out and I forgot I was even wearing it! Great look for the price!

Great if you have good cleavage, otherwise baggy at top.

At first I was excited to show off some boobage, but like other girls, I ended up pinning the top together so I wouldn't have a wardrobe malfunction. The color of this dress is gorgeous! Bright purple. Very fitted at the waist, but the entire top is blousy and billowy. Fabric has NO give, good for narrow hips but will be snug otherwise. The 6 fit me better, but I couldn't get the zipper to zip, so I wore the 8.

Worn for a photo shoot. This dress feels like a nightgown! I am so in love with this dress... I found it online in cream and will buy it for my wedding dress! If you have a small chest, I recommend no bra. Absolutely my favorite rental (and I rent a lot!) stunning!

Pop of femininity and color with a comfortable stretch to the fabric.

This dress runs true to size. The fabric is somewhat stretchy, and it will have some give if you have a bit of curves like I do. The collar is very high, and almost felt like it was choking me, but it is tolerable. Some may want to wear spanx under. I wore a strapless bra, because the cut of the sleeves would have shown regular bra straps. The top part of the dress is a very pale blue, though I thought it would be a cream or off white based on photos. Overall, this is a beautiful dress and I received a ton of compliments! I paired with deep eggplant heels.

No need for a bra with the built in corset!

The dress is very comfortable, BUT BEWARE - it is best for smaller chested gals because the top is VERY tight. I am currently a 34A/B. Though there is a pretty cool built-in corset that keeps everything in line. The fabric is really thick with a great lining, and I was kind of surprised that it didn't feature pockets. I wore this dress for my black and white ball themed work party. Overall it's a fantastic dress that I received compliments on all night!

Compliments all night!

Dress fits true to size and is very comfy. Love that you can wear a normal bra. I wasn't a huge fan of the bunchiness of the fabric design on the front of the dress, but if you are trying to hide a bit of tummy bloat, it would be great. Dress hit at about my knees. The zipper is difficult to zip up where the belt line of the dress is due to the fabric of the dress being thicker there. I needed a second pair of hands. Overall, got tons of compliments as one of the only girls who wasn't wearing all black, so that was a plus.

Classic style with modern twist.

This dress is gorgeous! Like others, I thought I would be able to mimic the neckline like the model in the photo, but was unable to figure it out. It still looked great just tossed about. The gold and black combo gives off a green hue in photos, which I was fine with. The fabric is super soft and flexible, though it looks thicker. If you want to show off your collarbone area, this is a fabulous dress!! Very classy and I got compliments all night!

Stunning color

I wore this dress for our family photos. The dress does run large! The 6 fit, but it was doing a weird bunching effect in the back along the zipper so I opted to wear the 8. Definitely needed a strapless bra! But overall very comfortable and glamorous. I felt beautiful

IT HAS POCKETS!

I rented this dress for a country wedding. Worn with cowboy boots - it was perfect! This dress is super cute! Ran a little big. I wore a 10 and got a 12 as backup, I wish I had rented an 8 for backup instead. Overall an amazing dress, it's so comfortable! I have a large bust, and am apple shaped - this dress was perfect for my figure. It is fitted in the bust, and very roomy in the waist and hips! The lace and color is beautiful. But the most amazing part: IT HAS POCKETS! Made it so convenient, I didn't have to carry a purse all night! Great quality for a great price. Will rent again!

Show off you back and pop of color

Based on prior reviews, I expected this dress material to be thinner than it was, but it felt very comfortable. Dress was pretty short and did 'ride up' a tad. The colors were beautiful, and the low back line was stunning. I am large busted, so the sleeves did kind of a weird thing, but overall it was a fun dress. I probably wouldn't rent it again since I was a bit concerned that I was flashing everyone with it being so short! This dress DEFINITELY runs small, so get a size up as your backup!

Just the right amount of bling.

Ran a bit tight but was super comfortable. I am apple-shaped and I love my legs. I felt this dress let me show off my legs while keeping my middle in check! Tons of compliments all night, I would rent this dress again!
