This dress is beautiful but definitely runs large. I appreciated the extra space in the waist but there was maybe too much extra fabric in the chest. I would definitely rent this dress again though!

I love the lightweight material, the color and the embroidered pattern. The dress is truly gorgeous. I do think it made me look even bigger, but I plan to wear this again when I get the rest of my baby weight off!

The color and detail on this dress are perfect! The material is great! The only problem was that the neck really bothered me a lot, all day. It was itchy and didn't feel great. The rest of the dress was comfortable. I don't usually wear W sizes but really wanted to try this dress. It worked fine but was large in the chest. It was nice to have some extra (loose) fabric because it was hot on graduation day!

This is an adorable dress and fit better than this picture made it seem. The bust had enough thickness to not pucker open and show my bra. The shape is cute except the pockets made my apple shape look even bigger.

I would have loved to wear this beautiful dress but the slit was too high to wear with my spanx and I didn't have time to get another style of shaper. If I didn't carry all of my weight in the middle I could have worn it without a shaper! I will definitely rent it again for something else! Just gorgeous!

I took a chance on a regular and unfortunately it was too short for me. I would have definitely worn it in the long!

This dress is small in the rib cage but I was surprised that I was able to fit in the 12 after reading the reviews. The 14 probably would have fit better overall but it would have been way too big in the chest. This pattern was perfect for the event, a black tie optional April wedding in Atlanta!
