Love this dress!
This dress looks great - I've rented it twice now and worn it to work and I always get compliments on it. It's definitely great for a business formal work setting, but would be really cute as a dress for a wedding or some other occasion too.

Very cute, but too formal for work
I liked this dress a lot, but I rented it for work and it was too formal for even a business formal setting. It would be a great dress for a wedding or other fancier event. It runs a tad large, but I didn't mind it and it still looked great. The smaller size may have been too tight.

Cute but run small
These were cute, but they ran very small, so I did not end up wearing the size I got.

Frumpy - size down
This dress looked frumpy on me - it runs large so a smaller size might have looked better. I got it for work but did not end up wearing it.

This dress is beautiful but has prom vibes.
Runs a little small - I needed to size up to a 10 and even then it was snug. Also, while it's a gorgeous dress, I rented it for a professional black tie affair and it gives off prom vibes (probably the sleeveless and shimmery aspects), so I didn't end up wearing it because the other option I rented fit the event better. For the right event, this would be a great dress. I loved the way the front opened up, it adds an edge to the dress.

This dress looked amazing and was comfortable too!
Things I liked about the dress: (1) the slit in the front adds a fun touch, (2) the 8 long fit perfectly with 2.5 inch heels on (I'm 5'8"), (3) the dress is fancy enough for a formal affair, but also understated. It showcases shoulders and arms well and has pockets! Would definitely recommend.

Disappointed
This dress is really pretty and I loved the retro, fairy-tale style, but unfortunately the dress looked terrible on me. I have a relatively short torso, and the top part of this dress just hit me at a weird spot. I ended up wearing something I already had in my closet. Gave the dress three stars because I liked it and there was nothing wrong with it, per se, it just did not look good on me.

I wore this dress for a more casual beach wedding, and I got a ton of compliments on it! Big hit.
I typically wear a 6 in dresses, and this fit well, although I probably could have worn a 4. The dress is a bit heavy though - I wore it for an outdoor beach wedding in August and I was a little hot in it. The boning cuts into your sides a little bit, so that was annoying, but overall I think it fit and looked great.
