AMAZING Wedding Guest Dress!
This dress was a big hit for an outdoor wedding ceremony!!! The fit is a bit funky but I made it work for my body. The chest has a really odd "gapping" near the armpits. To tighten up the loose fabric, I lengthened the straps as long as they'd go and then used a clear zip tie to bring them together between my shoulder blades. My hair covered it and the fit on my chest was MUCH better....otherwise there would have been an awkward bagginess near the pits. THERE IS NO STRETCH TO THIS DRESS!!! It is snug through the ribcage...make sure you pull the back down far enough to alleviate some of the squeeze. The slit is HIGH....Im talking all the way up to the hip. I used a clip on the inside to hold the ruffles together so my buttcheek was exposed. Overall this dress gets a 5/5 becuase it is HOT, fun and super fun to dance it. Ladies, please prepare your legs, back, and boobs to wear this dress.....if you cant tone it, TAN IT!!!

Very Unique and Fun!!
This was my backup dress and I loved it!! I will admit that before I put it on, I thought it looked like something made from my grandma's old curtains. The material is a little scratchy but the liner inside is ok. When I put it on, it looked waaaaay better! The material is light weight, does NOT stretch, and then skirt part is pretty flowy. I loved the unique look of it and the uneven hemline. It is perfect for a fall/winter event!! The accent colors in it are gold and black. I wore black close toed platform 4" stilettos and a 6L was the perfect length. HIGHLY RECOMMEND but I would have gone down one size....it seemed to fit a little loose in the bust even when a padded strapless bra.

Heavy material, weird draping and seams
I was so excited about this dress but so had I got a back up! The material is very heavy!! The draping around the hips is very awkward and the seams are oddly placed. Not too flattering. I ordered a long becuase reviews said if you're 5'6" and taller to get the long. I'm 5'7" and in 4" heels with a 1.5" platform, this was still way too long and I would have tripped on it had I worn it.

Beautiful fabric and print but too boxy.
I wanted to love this jacket! the fabric is amazing but the shoulder pads made me feel like I belonged back in the 80s, the sleeves came down almost too my fingers. I ordered a size down based on other views and it still just hung off of me. It is very thick.....like an outdoors jacket and I cannot imagine actually wearing this indoors to a meeting and not having to take it off or risk sweating to death. It also does not stretch. The cut it not flattering in the slightest.

Not my favorite but an interesting look.
This fit rather odd and did not give my body any shape. The neckline is insteresting and the color and fabric nice. I wore it once and would probably not rent again. It was just ok.

Sleeves were useless.
This shirt was drab. The slits in the sleeves literally go from wrist to shoulder and are wide open. The "sleeves" were took short and the shirt has zero stretch to it. Not a good rental.

Great looking pants though not very comfortable.
The fit was just okay. Pretty snug throughout the hips. The seam along the front is kind of strange and the back pockets dress down the appearance. The fabric seems a little thing and not quite designer. I would not buy these.

Probably a lovely dress but did not receive in time for event. Fail.
The was supposed to be a backup to the backup but I never received in time for the event. The sequins looked gorgeous but since I didn't have an opportunity to wear it, i did not try it on so I cannot vouch for the fit.

VERY SHORT!!!!!! GET THE EVEN IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU NEED TO!!
While I wanted to love this dress, I ended up not being able to wear it becuase it is INCREDIBLY short. To clarify, I ordered a 4 long but was sent a regular. Even the 6 regular backup I got was SHORT. I'm only 5'7" and this hit about 2 inches above my ankle so you can imagine how ridiculous this would look with heels. The overall fit is nice and you can wear a strapless bra. It's very sparkly and eye catching! Ladies please listen....ORDER THE LONG UNLESS YOU ARE 5' OR LESS!!! (and hope they send the long.)

SHORT! But flaunt it if you got It! Gorgeous lace and very comfortable.
This dress is very short! It did ride up a little when walking and dancing. The lace is beautiful and I received TONS of compliments on this dress! You will get noticed in this dress! The loner is perfect and the texture of the lace hides any panty lines. The top is fitted enough so I need to wear a bra. The colors are beautiful and will look best against darker skin tones. The neckline is high so you don't a necklace. Nude shoes seemed to look best so they didn't distract from the dress. It hugged everything in all the right places. Highly recommend this for a spring/summer event!!

Gorgeous, lightweight, flattering in all the right places, very one-of-a-kind!
I wore this for my husband's military formal. I got so many compliments on it and was literally the only other one not wearing a black/navy/other dark colored dress. The dress was VERY comfortable with a great fit, just the right amount of stretch and no need for shape wear! The sizing was interesting...I ordered a 6R with a 4R as my backup size. I am 5'7" 145 lbs, athletic build, and 36 C bust. The 4R fit the best but was SUPER SHORT...like it hit 2inches above my ankle.....when laid flat on top of the 6R, it was a good six inches shorter! I ended up wearing the 6R because the fit was still good and I needed the length. I wore 3" heels and the 6R was fine. I would suggest getting the tall if you plan to wear higher heels. I went back and forth a lot between the regular and the tall and based on reviews, opted for the regular but wish I had gone with the tall but it wasn't a huge deal.
