Great for an early summer wedding!
I wore this dress to an early June wedding in MN. The dress material is light, but with the long skirt I was still able to feel comfortable on a 67 degree day. The length of dress was perfect: I'm 5'3 and a 1/2", and I was able to wear 4.5" wedges without the dress touching the ground or showing too much shoe (win!). I know everybody reviews how tight the waist is and how the straps came loose all night, but here's my take on it: The waist on the Medium fit me perfectly, but the straps on that dress were ALL MESSED UP. Like, they looked like they had accidentally been sewn on backwards or something; they wouldn't lay flat. So I ended up trying on the Large, and it turned out to be the best accidental decision of the night (the shots of Fireball, however, were not). The waist was only slightly less snug, but because the waist of the dress wasn't tight enough to be what was holding up the straps (my shoulders were), I really didn't have to worry about the straps loosening all night and accidentally showing a little somethin' somethin'. I also found that if the straps were pulled too tight, it made the sides of the dress pucker under my armpits, so I left the adjustable straps fairly loose. I wore boobie stickers from Target (adhesive bra cups, if you will), and I also tried to use fashion tape to ensure no fashion mishaps. However, I thought the fashion tape pulled the dress weird when I moved and it didn't look natural so I ended up going without and didn't have any accidental peep shows throughout the night, even though there was a lot of intense dancing. Like, "Jump Around" by House of Pain intense dancing. Overall, I absolutely loved this dress and I felt gorgeous in it. My husband, who typically only likes bodycon style dresses also loved this dress. Win-Win, and I would definitely recommend this dress!

Sexy and classy... perfect for a semi-formal Labor Day wedding!
I LOVED the way this dress fit. Yes, it rode up a little while wearing it, but that's what happens with bodycon style dresses. You move, the dress moves. The material was thick and made the dress feel extra expensive. The color + the lace made the dress classy, while the sheer portions made the dress sexy. I would definitely recommend!

Perfect for an outdoor, summer wedding!
I fluctuate between a 4 and a 6 in dress sizes - the body of the 4 fit me better, but I felt that the arm sleeves were a little tight so I sized up to the 6 because I belted the dress anyway. I'm not a huge fan of sheath dresses, but with the belt it was perfect! I found a gold plated belt (+ black necklace) from H&M that completed my look and I got a TON of complements on the dress! The only con was that the lace edging on the front of the dress flipped up & in after about an hour of wearing it (so the edging disappeared on the front of my dress). That didn't appear to be a problem with the 4, so may have just been the 6, but even after ironing it still wouldn't lay right throughout the night. Overall it was a great rental though, and I loved it!

Super sexy, and I felt unforgettable!
I wore this for a late summer wedding and it was excellent. The dress fabric is somewhat heavy, but not overwhelmingly so. I did not have a problem with thinking the top was slightly see-through, like another reviewer mentioned. The Medium fit me very well, which is the size I normally wear, but the Small fit me like a glove - which is what this dress is made for!! I will say, however, that by wearing the Small I did have to consistently pull the dress down throughout the night so that it did not bunch underneath my chest area. Overall, I felt great in the dress and truly loved this rental!

This dress is amazing - I loved every minute wearing it, and my husband now wants to buy this dress so I can wear it again ;) It fit like a glove, and was incredibly comfortable.

I rented this for a friend's fall wedding, and it was perfect!
There were a couple pulls in the lace of the dress, but they were hardly noticeable. I LOVED the way this dress felt - it's lined very nicely so it's a little more thick than I thought it would be, but it's not heavy. I got a ton of compliments on this dress, and I felt so beautiful! Side note - for some reason I thought the dress was blue and gold when I reserved my rental, but it's really blue and white. Just in case anyone else made that mistake :)
