Sweet and breezy!
Great dress for a spring evening event! Definitely runs a little small and isn't especially friendly to a curvy figure. I have a small chest and average hips AND I sized up and it was still a bit tight, so if you're rocking an hourglass, definitely size up (or go with something else)! I am 6' tall and it hit just below my knees. You can definitely wear a regular bra with it, so that's a plus. It's VERY lightweight so don't wear it if the temps will be chilly.

Great for frolicking!
This dress made me feel like Liesl in the Sound of Music! All I wanted to do was twirl in circles. Its very feminine and flirty. It runs slightly small in the waist but there is plenty of room for your hips. The back is a bit of an odd shape and has a bow that I would definitely have preferred if it wasn't there. Makes wearing a cardigan or jacket impossible. Also, you can't wear a regular bra because the straps will show through the cut out. Still, if you want to leap around in a gazebo and sing about being 16, this is the dress for you!

Comfy, classy, and unique
This dress was not really my taste, but I rented it because of the excellent reviews and I'm glad I did. Cuts at the most flattering point of the waist and then has a very well-draped bottom portion which gives the illusion of being much thinner. Slit and ruffles add drama. It's a head-turner for sure. I'm still not sure I like the sequin-and-ruffle combo, or the green color, but I was overall very happy with the way it made my figure look.

HUGE bust - not for everyone!
The chest is ENORMOUS. I am definitely not a busty person, so I wouldn't have been surprised if it was slightly large on me, but this was comical. The chest of the dress flopped fully over my bra. However, it wasn't a roomy dress or a dress designed for curves. The hips were quite snug while the chest was so large. I don't know who the fit model for the dress was, but I don't think it would easily fit most bodies.

Perfect casual dress!
This wasn't really my style at all but I rented it for vacation. It was an awesome, comfortable, fun look! Highly recommended for casual occasions. Do be wary that the chest fits snugly so if you are above a B cup, you might have issues.

Great loose-fitting vacation dress
I rented this to wear around Italy and it was perfect for that. It's a loose fitting, drop waist dress (think Jazz Age style) so don't expect it to "hug your curves." Very comfortable and flouncy and fun. Great for everyday wear.

cute and flattering
Beautiful color, excellent fit, very flattering. Shoulders were tight on me, but I have big shoulders. The only real downside was that the material is very thick and I wore it in 90 degree weather. BAD idea. However, none of my sweat stains were visible so that is something. At least if you're hot, it won't really show. Best kind of dress to really accessorize. Ornate necklace is great on this canvas.

Great and fun dress
It was cute and fun! Great for a party. The crinoline layers are a bit annoying because they get stuck to each other and to other people's outfits, but I would recommend it overall

Loved it! It will not show off your figure or make a grand impression, but it is lovely all the same and very comfortable.

Fierce and fun
Loved this dress! Had an event at Carnegie Hall and it seemed like the right place to wear a cape. I got stopped by 4 people on the way in, telling me how fab it was. Comfortable and unique, I would definitely recommend this.

The dress was absolutely stunning and I was thrilled with the fit.
It was shorter than I would have liked but I am a giant so it's probably fine for normal people. It really hugs the curves and makes you stand out in a crowd. Wish I owned it!
