Super cute for an outdoor fall wedding
I wore this with low block heels as it was an outdoor wedding and the length was perfect for them. The dress was comfortable and the gold stitching gives it a little something extra.

Sparkly and comfortable
The length of the dress was perfect for my 5'6 height with 3.5 inch heels. It sparkled and the sequins didn't scratch at all.

Subtle gold accents on the skirt are beautiful
This was an option I rented for an October wedding. The fabric is thicker which is perfect for cooler weather. The top definitely shows off the bust so bustier women keep in mind. It was a beautiful dress that I was torn in wearing. I ended up wearing another dress I rented simply for the sleeves because I didn't have a jacket or shawl to go over this and it was a cooler Ohio evening wedding.

Gorgeous lace detail
I ordered this as a backup dress for a wedding and the dress itself was gorgeous. Only reason I didn't wear it was because it was too big. I recently had a baby so I wasn't sure why size I would need and a 14 wasn't available. Will rent again for an event if the right size is available.

Perfect fall party dress
Rented for a themed 1920's rehearsal dinner. Absolutely loved the dress but the zipper was incredibly stubborn. My husband had to seriously pull on it to get it to zip over the ribbon section. I was able to wear a normal bra even though it did show a little bit (I wore a black one to blend in). Definitely showed off the girls but in a good way. The ribbon under the bust is a bit tight if you're fuller figured but it was too pretty not to wear for the few hours I needed to.

Stretchy sequins that don't rub your arms raw!
This was my bridesmaid dress for a NYE wedding and it was surprisingly comfortable to wear all night. It was a little short for me - definitely wished I would've gotten the long but I paired it with a pair of velvet black flats and it was fine. Definitely recommend if you want a dress that's a show stopper.

So comfortable!
Wore this for a rehearsal dinner and loved that I could wear a regular bra! The fabric was comfortable, not too heavy, and forgiving. I'm 5' 6 and because the rehearsal wasn't very formal, I was able to wear a nice pair of sandals but anyone taller, this might not be the best. The length was a little short for my liking but with the wide leg, it didn't look bad with sandals.

Perfect for a tropical vacation!
The dress definitely runs large but I didn't think it was too shear to wear to dinner like some other reviews. I could've easily gone down to a Medium. The fabric is lightweight, the colors are vibrant, and it was the perfect things to wear to dinner after a day at the beach.

Beautiful colors!
I rented this for a formal party at an art gallery as a second option and would have preferred to wear this but unfortunately, the lining was longer than the the top layer of mesh/lace/embroidery and I wasn't able to make it work. The backup size I received was just too tight, had I been able to fix the hem, even though the 14w was a bit too big, I think it would have looked great belted.

Great little black dress for formal company party at an Art Gallery!
I read in another's review that you could still wear a strapless bra; however, I felt like I was constantly tugging down the back ruffle to make sure the strap was covered. I wish the size when up to an XL. The material of the dress is very stretchy and the shape is flattering for all heights. It was just tighter than I thought it might be but overall I loved it.

Gorgeous dress for bachelorette party!
I knew renting the dress it would be form fitting but once I received it, as gorgeous as it was, I was too self conscious to wear it myself BUT my best friend wore it instead and she rocked it! She wore the XL (she's normally a size 10/12 I think) and said it did run small and it was VERY short on her 5'5 self. Perfect look for a burlesque club bach party though!

Maine wedding on the bay
I wore the 12R and it was too long with flats but PERFECT with 2.5 inch heels. The fabric was a little heavier than I thought it would be but it worked out well as I wore it to a late afternoon/evening wedding on the coast of Maine. I got a 10R for backup and the top fit great but the midsection was a little tight so I went with the 12 but the midsection was loose - could be bump friendly! This could be dressed up or down as it looked great with my jean jacket at the end of the night. The colors were really vibrant against the cream background.

perfect for a Maine night on the bay!
The dress fit true to size - I'm a size 12, haven't lost any of many baby weight from my son and flattered my midsection, 36 DDD - chest wasn't tight, and I'm 5' 6 and the dress wasn't too short or too long. Looked great dressed up with short heels but also looked great when I got cold and threw a jean jacket over it. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars was the dress I received was very worn, the bottom hem was starting to frey, and parts of the zipper weren't sewn in anymore making it very, very difficult to zip.

Outdoor wedding/barn reception
Dress was just short enough to wear sandals with for me but would've also been perfect with wedges. I found the neck to be a little tight at first but after awhile, I got used to it. The sheer parts of the skirt made this perfect for a hot outdoor July wedding and I would definitely rent again!

Perfect dress for a company Christmas party!
The sleeves were a bit tighter than I expected and the material isn't very stretchy so I would recommend sizing up.

great fit for a new mom
as a new mom, I wasn't sure what size I was going to be and was very nervous about the fit but it was perfect for my reunion! very flattering and hid the areas that needed to be hidden. the sequence didn't rub under my arms at all and the pockets are a huge plus!
