I was SO close to buying this dress!! It's so comfortable, not restrictive at all, and doesn't need any shapewear. But the thing that really makes it great is how FUN the pattern is. I wore this for 2 separate events and got so many compliments. The fact that it's black and long makes it good for weddings, but the fabric isn't fancy, so it also worked well for an evening work party. Would recommend and definitely rent again.

I really like the pattern and color of this dress, but I honestly found it to be a little matronly. The dress fit, but the chest and waist were both kind of baggy and left me feeling shapeless. Would maybe be ok for something more casual, but I wouldn't wear for a wedding.

I didn't end up wearing this dress because it was a bit bustier than I wanted, but it was generally cute, very comfortable, and would have been wedding appropriate. The only other con was that the bottom part of it is pretty voluminous, so I felt a little bit like a cupcake or a babydoll.
