Amazing shape, comfort, glamour
This dress was amazing. The 0 long was exactly right for my figure - could wear a normal bra, and the black banding meant no sequins rubbing on my underarms. Love love love!

Very flattering
This was my backup, but my friend's dress was too short so she wore this instead. The small was too big for me (I have small shoulders) but it fit her perfectly! She's 5'10" and the long was great for her in heels

Fun shape and great quality
This was a knock out - comfortable, wore a normal bra and you couldn't see the strap in back, nice lace back detail, flouncy skirt for dancing, and it's embroidered not a print which really adds a layer of luxury I loved

Waist ribbing didn't flatter
Good fit, comfortable, liked the layers, but somehow the cut of the ruching at the waist made me look wider

Great fit, good if you have hips, pockets always a plus. I'm 5'8" weight 130, and the 2 was great

Fun but a little too much fabric
This was a replacement when a dress I rented wasn't available. I ordered an XS but was sent a S and it was a bit too big. Loved the back details, and the pockets were a design element and I liked that, but the top is just too drapey and flowy and swallowed me up

Gorgeous color and very flattering shape
I really love the stress, gorgeous color and nice heavy fabric which is good because it is TIGHT! I normally wear or two, and even the four was a bit of a squeeze for me. I did note that someone had previously repaired the bottom of the center seem, and it did rip loose while I was dancing, so check yours closely!

Comfy and flattering
Fit well in the busy and hips, a couple inches loose in the waist - great for eating but would have taken it in if I owned it. Love the fabric and stretch

Gorgeous dress, just a little too flashy for the wedding I was going to
This was a beautiful, unique dress. However I was going to a more conservative wedding, and since I am pretty curvy I opted not to wear this even though there is a nude colored dress underneath the entire read cut out. It's a lot of dress, but for the right event it's really wonderful

Perfect
Wonderful color, interesting lace pattern, a change from all of the floral that's everywhere right now. Very stretchy and accommodating and I received many compliments

Hugs the curves in a nice thick fabric
I rented the stress for a formal birthday party dinner. I wanted something warm for my Midwestern winter, so this seems like a good choice. The fabric is pretty stretchy, but it is very tight fitting. I typically wear an extra small, and while I could fit into this extra small It was definitely a tight fit. A note – you could see the center seem of my tights under the dress, but it was very minimal. Everyone loved it, and it was sexy without being revealing. Also note that there is no slit in the bottom so you cannot take long strides, but I didn't have any problem walking around comfortably

Great choice! Sheer!
This was a lovely choice! In the photo it looks like it may be hitting me at a weird spot on my legs, but that's just the angle of the photo not the dress. It actually looks great, fun and festive. Very comfortable. As others have noted, it is completely unlined up top and only two layers of white fabric on the bottom, so plan on wearing undergarments. I did fine with the nude camisole and bottom skirt slip.

Very comfortable good structure
Very comfortable, Nice neckline, not too deep even with my small shoulders. Only issue is that it was too short for appropriate wedding attire, but that's probably because I'm 5'8"
Hannelli Dress

Cool crochet pattern
Pros: good fit on top for me (small shoulders, 32DD), could wear abnormal bra, a-line made it easy to eat and dance Cons: a little too long so hits oddly on calves, excess crochet overlay at hips splayed out and made me look pear-shaped

Everyone said I looked like a sexy mermaid!
This dress was gorgeous, unique without being completely crazy. The length was perfect for me, I am 5'8" and it hit just below my knee. It was a very tight dress, I usually wear a two but the small was definitely tight around my hips. Ended up wearing the medium for comfort, couldn't really tell the difference between the two in appearance. The sequins on the dress are very scratchy on the inner arms. Was able to wear a regular Demi a strapless bra, nice stretchy fabric, too

Nice dress, swimming up top
I'm a 32DD but have small shoulders and this dress was Way too big in the bust. The actual waist was perfect, with me having a 27 inch waist, the bottom of the dress was fun and flirty but I was swimming in the top

Great pattern, great fabric
This is a much more comfortable, stretchier fabric than I was expecting. The colors are softer (it's pink and navy blue not red and black stripes) and more flattering than I expected. Really comfortable, and got compliments all night. Bust fit me well (I'm a 32DD) but waist was a little loose, as is common for me. Not that other people noticed though!

Great pattern and texture
This was a beautiful dress in a lovely pattern with a really interesting pattern (but not too heavy, like it appears in some photos). Upsides - great length, fun to twirl, flattering cut. Downsides: small armholes (and I have skinny arms), tight bodice (I'm a 32DD and they were squished in there!), and I think I would have done 1 less panel of fabric on each side to make it a little less flouncy. A great dress though!

Gorgeous romantic gown, tiny waistband!
Wore this to a black tie wedding, the wonderful jersey silk fabric moved like a dream. Sensational top - I wore silicon sticky breast cups for coverage and a little lift, no chicken cutlet for size and felt very secure. The back is of course star, and I had several strangers including the photographer come up and compliment me. As others have noted it is very difficult to zip up over the waistband - definitely size up one, but even though the 4L fit me fine I needed assistance getting it over the change in fabric

Beautiful gown with tiny waistband
Absolutely lovely dress. Rented the 4L (normally I wear a 2 up top, 4 bottom, 32dd waist 27 hip 38, 5'8"). Like others said, the red waistband is TIGHT, otherwise the fit is fine. Barefoot a few inches of fabric on the ground, perfect for heels. Is too long by a few inches in the shoulders, but that's always an issue for me, probably fine for others. I would definitely recommend sizing up at least 1 size, two if you're not naturally extra slender in the waist.
