Customer service contacted me about a week before my rental date to let me know that the dress I had initially reserved had been damaged. I cannot say enough nice things about the customer service rep who helped me -- we corresponded back and forth over the course of an evening. I told her what my concerns were (large, natural chest, preferred to be able to wear a bra, small waist, short) and she sent a few dress ideas my way. I passed over this dress during my initial search, but boy, am I glad she drew my attention back to it! I don't think I could have found a more perfect dress for the time crunch I was on. The color is beautifully rich, as pictured. The material is thick with an attached lining. I wore a strapless bra with one strap attached and it didn't show. I felt confident and secure, which was my main concern. I posted one close up and two far away photos so that you can see just how much this gown stands out from the pack. Everybody swooned over my gown and I felt absolutely amazing in it! I feel it runs true to size, but it has absolutely no stretch, so definitely order a backup size! I would also strongly recommend giving yourself a few days buffer time so that you can get it professionally steamed before your event because it will likely be a tad wrinkled when it arrives. I wore platform stiletto heels and found the length appropriate -- it just barely skimmed the floor, but I was able to walk without major issue. There is a small train in the back, so make sure others walking behind you don't step on it! If you're on the fence about this one, I say just go for it! Let me know if you have any other questions! :)

This was one of my backup dresses in case the other didn't fit. The color of this gown is absolutely gorgeous! I'm not usually a fan of red whatsoever, but this shade of red is beautiful -- not tacky, not fire engine. I am naturally large chested, and while this dress is supportive and has boning, I was afraid I would have to be readjusting the girls all night. I feel this would be best for a girl with a B/C cup (plus padded bra bc it runs large in the top) or a girl with implants. I'm 5'3" and had to wear platform stilettos to accommodate the length of this dress, so if you're petite and wanna wear comfy shoes, you may wanna get the short size. Luckily, my first choice fit so I didn't end up wearing this dress to the event, but for the right girl, this would be a breathtaking choice!! :)
