Beautiful, modern and elegant!
Sadly I do not have a picture of this dress as it was my backup and I did not end up wearing it. It is absolutely beautiful though! The red color is a bit more of an orangey rust than it appears in the picture. This dress also might be a little long for shorter girls. I'm 5'3 and with three inch heels on it was dragging a bit on the floor and the material is too thick to form a train, so it just bent awkwardly. Because of the material and the slit, it would be hard to tack the bottom or use hem tape without it looking awkward. However, the cut of the dress is super flattering, and because the material is thick it is a bit more forgiving than expected. This dress is definitely understated and simple but incredibly elegant!

Beautiful, timeless dress!
I absolutely loved wearing this dress. The petite sizing was perfect. I'm 5'3 and wore 3 inch heels and the dress just skimmed the floor. You definitely need a good strapless bra and a pair of Spanx with this one, but the fabric was more forgiving than I expected because it is a little thick. Based on other reviews I ordered a 36 and a 38 (I typically wear a 4 or 6 in dresses depending on the brand) but if I rent this dress again I would go with the 34. It was a little big in the waste, and I had to pin it in to actually have a defined shape. Otherwise, this dress is classic elegance and glamour and incredibly comfortable!

Wonderful dress for a formal event!
I loved this dress! I very sadly didn't get any full body pictures to show how it fit, but if you are thinking of ordering it, do it! I received this dress as a last minute swap about three hours before my event and thankfully it was perfect. I am curvy, but on the smaller side in the bust, and this complimented every curve without being too tight. I am only 5'3 so I was worried about the length, but it's perfect with a pair of heels. When I took my heels off to dance, the back of the dress dragged a little on the floor but not enough to trip me up. The only disclaimer I will give is that the neckline is low and not very structured. I had to use a safety pin to make sure everything stayed in, but the ruffles ensured that you couldn't see it.

Beautiful Dress, Timeless Style
This dress is absolutely gorgeous in a classic, understated way. I needed a dress for a black tie optional event. Because of my height, renting anything floor length is pretty much out of the question, so tea length dresses are perfect when I can't hem it. When I first tied the dress on without heels (or make up) I was a little worried I looked like a flower girl because of the volume of the skirt and the color. Once I put everything together (it looked great with big earrings, and minimal other jewelry) the dress looked so elegant and flattering. I was receiving compliments and Audrey Hepburn comparisons all night. I only gave this dress 4 stars because if you have a bigger bust or a wide rib cage, this dress is definitely not for you. It is very tight throughout the bodice, so I would recommend going a size up from what you would usually order.
