The detail of the lace is pretty up close & the overall look is unique. The high neckline and lower hemline allow you to wear all kinds of body shapers underneath without them showing. I kept my jewelry and shoes simple since the dress already has a lot going on visually. There isn't much stretch to the lining under the lace so make sure to check the reviews to determine the size you should order. I'm currently 5'5" and 138 lbs, 36D. I wore a size 8 and it wasn't tight at all on me.

I thought this dress was more textured like a tweet fabric, but it's actually a smooth spandex type of material. It's stretchy so it's forgiving while also holding you in at all the right places. The ruching around the stomach area also helps disguise any less than perfect tummies. I felt confident and pretty in this. I'm usually a size 6 and a 42 worked for me. I'm 5'5" and it falls a couple of inches below my knees.

I planned to pair this top with a black & white pencil skirt, but felt ridiculous in it when I tried it on. The top seems too short and the peplum falls too high on my waist. It fit in all other areas so I don't think it was too small for me. I think that's the design of it.

This dress is beautiful and so well made. The only size available was an 8 and unfortunately it was too large for me. The bottom would have been fine, but the top portion was so big that it gathered up around my waist. The top is a stretchy material that probably looks gorgeous and very figure flattering if sized correctly. I'm hoping to rent it again if a size 6 becomes available.

I wore this dress for work and paired it with a snake skin belt and heels. It's very well-made and the color is a nice navy blue. The neckline and long sleeves make it conservative enough for work and the silhouette is figure flattering. Other reviews said it ran small and I was nervous that my usual size 6 wouldn't fit. Fortunately it was perfect for me. I felt very confident and put together in this dress. Will definitely rent it again.
