Classic. You'll get compliments.
Truth is, I don't love the pattern and pastels of this dress, but EVERYONE ELSE LOVED IT. I got so many compliments. Strangers stopped me on the street to say how classy and elegant it looked. One women called me over and said "wow. that dress is gorgeous." Hilarious because it felt so old fashioned to me! I will order this one again. The cut and the ruffles were eye catching, and it was flattering. I'm between size 6 and 8 with a larger bust, and the 6 thankfully fit.

Metallic, good draping, not the most modern looking
This was a pretty forgiving dress - hugged curves but had good strategic ruching. I have a large bust and felt a little exposed so I tried a little lace cami with it. Looked better without it, but sharing photo in case it helps anyone. Liked it, but wasn't my favorite.

Classic skirt. Prominent slit when you sit down.
Gorgeous leather look - expensive looking, felt like new. Side ruching and slit made it more modern and interesting. Took me a minute to find the right top to compliment it. Wore it for work event and the slit opened when I sat, so practice sitting before you leave the house to make sure it will work for you.

Shiny metallic blue sheet lining. NO.
I couldn’t tell from the photos that the under-dress is METALLIC BLUE. Like a glittery sheer blue shiny dress with lace on top. I wasn’t expecting that, and it wasn’t my style. It was also so sheer that you could see my belly button through the dress which was a surprise. Spanx or slip needed. The chunky white lace was thicker than expected - the dress is a little heavy. I didn’t wear it because I ordered it for a work event and it felt more like an 80s party dress. Whoops.

Yikes. Underskirt drama
Very fun pattern. Lots of compliments from my team. Fit made me look kind of straight, and I’m a curvy gal. 3 layers of sheer fabric. I wore it for an important business meeting and it caused a lot of drama because the underskirt kept crawling up. It’s fully sheer without all 3 layers in place and the walk from my car to the front desk pulled the underskirt so high it was at my waist. Yikes. I spent the rest of the day pulling at it and untwisting it. Slip recommended.

Couldn’t wear it - too short
Gorgeous fabric, vibrant, playful cut. I didn’t wear it because it was so short I couldn’t sit or dance without exposing myself. It doesn’t look as short on others - I’m curvier so the skirt was pulled higher by my shape. Fit otherwise.

It's SHORT!!!!! Fabulous dress
super cute dress, great styling, and super super short. When I sat I had to place something down on my lap to avoid flashing people. And when I stood I needed to pull it down every single time. That was annoying - won't wear it again as a result, but the style was fun. Dramatic. Playful. I wore it once before just for anniversary photos, and it was perfect for that.

100% yes
Wow was this flattering!! Easy to wear, looks fabulous in photos, stretchy, gorgeous. Fabric surprised me a little - it’s like a stretchy glittery slightly thicker weave. I’m only 5’3 and with 4 inch heels this didn’t touch the ground. Tall gals be aware. Gonna rent this again.

Wearable, cozy, maybe not the most flattering
When I left the house I felt beautiful but the photos weren’t great. Not a very forgiving fabric. You could see every line. Easy, perfectly lovely, nice shade of burnt orange, but I wouldn’t wear it again.

Super wearable, chic, flattering
This one is a winner. Flattering, bright, compliments all night from everyone. I wore a white tube top underneath because the neckline was wide on me but others might not need it. Great for vacation, nights out, summer beach party…. Loved it.

You’ll get noticed
This dress is fully covered - arms, bust, back, legs - but it still looks 🔥. Put on a good spanx and have a great night. I’m petite and with a pair of 3 inch heels this barely hit the ground, so tall girls beware. It’s firm fitting all the way around, so shapewear and good posture were a must for this one.

Very wearable
I liked this fit a lot. Strategic drape covered tummy well, good style, not too long for a petite woman in heels - might feel short to a taller woman. I got a little self conscious that it was accentuating my bust - I like dresses that minimize and this felt like it drew more attention. Got a lot of compliments. I ended up wearing a different dress, but I’ll probably rent this again in the future.

Best dress EVER
Look at the fabric!!!! Gorgeous. Lush and detailed. Shimmers in the light like a peacock. I shockingly didn’t have to wear a bra. The dress has good bones and a beautiful fit. Flattering, sturdy, and made me feel beautiful. Highly recommend. I’m between a 6 and an 8, and the 8 was great if I had a smaller chest I would have gone with the 6.

Not flattering - pins helped
I am petite with a big bust. The waist felt high. Previous wearer pinned the chest to stay closed and it made it way more wearable so I left them in. Thank you, to whoever did that!!! The dress had a lot going on. Ruffled belt, big bow, wide skirt, bold repetitive pattern. Cute and stylish but just a little too much of everything. I got a lot of compliments but I feel like the dress didn’t actually make my body look good. Some dresses flatter….not this one.

Snap warning!!!
Ooooh I wish I had known this dress is open in the back (I wore a matching tube top so that I could wear a bra) AND that the top closure is 3 super weak snaps. Every time I moved, the snaps opened. Super annoying. And when I sat, the tulip opening at the bottom really spread out. I did get lots of compliments, (it’s a great look!) but I spent the whole day fussing with it to stay covered/dressed.

Best dressed
This one is a total winner. The drape is sexy and classic, offering fantastic arm and tummy coverage while looking totally sleek and fashion forward. I got compliments all night long from EVERYONE. I was worried it wasn’t interesting enough but now I can’t wait to wear it again. I spiced it up with bold heels and earrings. Best dress I’ve rented yet.
