Light and scratchy
I didn’t end up wearing this (too small) but when I tried to put it on it was really scratchy, and the material was lighter than expected. It felt like when you go to pick up silverware that looks fancy and when you grab it it feels cheap and like plastic. It’s like that. I also don’t love cap sleeves and think they’re unflattering and this would’ve been better with longer sleeves!

Magnets were clunky
I feel like it was justttt too small to hold everything I’d need as a wedding guest. Phone, mascara, wallet, I kinda had to jam it all in and it took longer than I would’ve liked. Plus the long chain had a hard time staying on my shoulder. Wouldn’t rent again

Perfect and classy
I needed a coat to wear during a black tie wedding that unfortunately took place during an “arctic event”. This delivered. I was never outside for too too long but for those brief moments from the car to the venue, it did the job!

I threw a Hollywood themed murder mystery party. As an after-Oscars bash, it was pretty glamtastic.
So I'm 5'7'', 135, and never in my wildest dreams would I think I'd be wearing a 2. But that's what I had to do! It runs HUGE! I expected to wear the 4 (I generally am a 6) and the 2 was just perfect. The top is heavy – I'm pretty small-chested and had to use a few strips of fashion tape. If the event has lots of dancing and twirling, you might need a lot more fashion tape than I used (also, is fashion tape just double sided tape?? I think it is. Don't waste your money on fashion tape, just buy double sided tape). Besides that, which is workable, its a great dress. So sparkly and glamorous. I didn't want to give it back. The length is not quite to the ground, and you might trip on the fabric the first time you walk up stairs (you learn by the second time that you must grab the front a la a princess). Anyway, I loved it. Wished I owned it!
