Hear me out!
I absolutely loved this dress and I’m so happy I took a chance on it even though other reviews are a little mixed. It is very fitted through the bodice, but I loved the structure. I’m also a bit smaller up top, so this helped to, ahem, feature the girls, which I was happy about, but bustier ladies might have trouble with the fit. The zipper is also a bit difficult, I definitely needed help with it, so definitely have someone to assist you (it’s a bit like a corset). I got an insane amount of compliments on this dress and it was so comfortable. The only other thing to be aware of is the fabric will show ANY kind of water. Just be mindful if you have a photo op and you lean against wet bathroom vanity, for example. It dries quickly but the water is VERY visible until it does. LOVED this dress, perfect for spring/summer.

Wish I could buy this...
Wore this dress for an opening night at work and it was so flirty, yet sophisticated. The size 4 fit perfectly (like it was made for me, honestly) and I didn't want to return it! I have a smaller bust and this fit just right. The fabric is beautiful and it was really comfortable! I would definitely rent again.

Slam-dunk for wedding after-party!
We had an after-party at a local bar after my wedding reception, so I wanted to change into a cheeky party dress! SO fun and still bridal, the 4 fit me perfectly and the adjustable straps gave some wiggle room as well (I'm smaller on top, so almost always have to tighten straps). It was such a hit, I wish I had changed into it at my reception! Super chic and fun.

Flattering and festive!
This dress was beautiful and flattering, but a little tough to move around in—perfect for standing and walking around, but it was a little snug in the hips if you sat down. I’m also generally smaller up top, so the top was slightly loose in comparison (so sizing up wasn’t an option). But overall, a great fit, runs true-to-size, and I got so many compliments!

Curve-skimming and beautifully constructed!!
I chose this dress for a company gala and my only regret is that I didn't get more photos in it! This dress was so flattering and I got so many compliments—it's even prettier in person. You can tell that this is a very well-made garment and the fit was sexy and classy. One thing to note is that it can be a bit tight in the hips when seated (at least for me), so I just had to be mindful and hike it up ever-so-slightly when sitting down. That being said, I was comfortable the whole night (and sad to take it off!). I would definitely rent this dress again!
