It's always a risk to rent a dress that has no reviews but this dress was worth the risk! Material - Because the dress is heavily embroidered, there is some weight and thickness to the velvet-like material. As such, this dress is more appropriate for fall/winter events. Also of note, in person the gold embroidery shines a lot more than what is shown in the stock photo. Fit/Style- Overall, this dress is a great fit and flare style with a little flow. While it does not have internal boning, the bodice is pretty structured/inflexible at the waistband and the material is thick enough you do not need to wear a bra underneath. You may need to pull the dress down your ribcage or you could use fashion tape or safety pins. The waistband hit me just above the belly button when I used the pulldown method and was tolerably tight. Overall, a beautiful dress perfect for a formal event.

Absolutely loved this shimmery dress for the formal event I attended. There's more color to it in person and the pockets are just a great bonus. Something to consider is that there is absolutely no give in the band under the bust and consider taping down the cups to prevent accidents. So if deciding on a size, I would recommend basing it off your underbust measurements rather than bra size. In this case I sized up since my underbust is 36 in. Other than those considerations, I would absolutely rent this dress again.

I rented this bag to go along with a dress for a formal event. Perfect size for carrying just the small necessities (ID, phone, lipstick). Decided to purchase since it's on sale on RTR now and I expect it will be great for future special occasions.
