Beautiful dress but too long and too small
It was extremely tight around my rib cage. Too tight to wear a bra so I went braless and could barely button up the back. I got the L in regular length but it was too tight and too long. I'm 5'6" and wore 2" heels. I had to pick up the dress to walk around and people kept stepping on my dress, very annoying. I wore a blazer over it so it worked for the formal wedding I wore it to. Loved the chiffon material, felt expensive. Pulled up the dress so that the triangle hole in the middle didn't show. Would've been great for a summer wedding. Maybe I was too large to fit this dress' style.

Hugs every curve but I wasn't ready for that!
Didn't end up wearing it since it was too revealing for the formal city wedding that I planned to wear it to. I like the soft folds and color and malleability of the fabric but it hugged every curve too closely for my liking. I looked like a Kardashian, way too sexy for a wedding. This dress could be good for a fun party or date.

Well-made dress, beautiful material, bold and feminine!
Felt that it fit on the smaller side for the torso but lots of room in the bottom. Gorgeous material, pattern, and colors. Wore to a night time formal event, paired with silver heels and accessories. Loved this dress! Expensive-looking and luxurious, thick material yet could be worn to a daytime event. Would rent it again!

Didn't wear it - couldn't even zip it up!
Definitely size up 1-2 sizes on this one - unless you have a very slim waist. Even with Spanx, I couldn't even zip this dress up! Very nice material and would've been perfect for my event but unfortunately, didn't work out at all.

Gorgeous, elegant, perfectly fit, runs slightly small
Such a beautiful dress - wish I had a full length photo to attach. I'm 5'6" and the skirt reached just the top of my knee, not as short as the photograph of model. Nice thick, substantial material and skirt poufs out in an elegant way, not too much. Great for a holiday party or wedding. Bodice fit perfectly, holds its shape. Ran slightly small, size 8 was tight on me. Photographs really well too - shade of gold is elegant and is highlighted in photos, not too brassy, and the pattern looks like brushstrokes, very modern. Absolutely loved it. Got lots of compliments!

Tiny, didn't wear them
Very small, probably the size of my thumbnail and narrow. Conservative without any "wow" factor. Probably great for everyday but not a big enough impact for a party.

Beautiful, chic clutch. Perfect for any event
Nice clutch, good size, nice gold glimmer and a chic mock-croc texture, very versatile. I wish I could've kept it! Fit keys, lips, cash, credit cards and my iPhone 6 (barely).

Chic look but too tight, didn't end up wearing it
No need to wear bra, nice, slightly heavier material. But it was too tight on me and I couldn't wear it. Back up size wasn't available. I'd suggest sizing up.

Didn't fit well
I couldn't get the dress on, really tight around the waist, even the larger size, and not flattering on me. The straps seemed very stretched out too - like it's been worn many times. Dress still in good condition though. Beautiful color and really well made, just not for my frame. I'm more of a "ruler", narrow from shoulders through hips but don't have a really well defined waist. Maybe someone with a more hour glass figure and smaller waist will find the dress more flattering!

Gorgeous color, fun, pretty dress!
Great color - I stood out in a sea of black dresses at an engagement party that I was hosting for our friends. Beautiful pink color and lace material throughout. Wore a size smaller than I normally do since my size was large and too much of a tunic. The dress looks better a little more fitted. I didn't wear a belt with it but that is an option others have mentioned. The sleeves are fairly fitted, not uncomfortable but definitely a fitted look. Beautiful color that will flatter anyone. Also rented a gold necklace that was recommended and it barely showed up in photos. Best to go with the black necklace that's shown on the model if you want some contrast.

Cute ring but very large
Great ring - cheaper material but nice size as a statement ring. Couldn't wear it since it was too large on my ringer (except maybe the 2nd finger, but didn't look good there). No way to resize the ring either.

Elegant and slightly edgy, fun dress!
Love that this dress had some structure to it - along the entire torso area, it fits well, with nice seams going up and down the dress. There's a slight pouf to the bottom which makes it more fun and girly. Very versatile dress - could be worn for dinner, wedding, or fun cocktail party as an alternative to the standard LBD. One thing I would say - it smooshed my boobs a little and I'm only an A/B cup. May be tight for anyone with larger bust.
