Comfortable, fit great, so many compliments!
I ordered the 8L and 10L, and ended up wearing the 10 as it fit a little better. I recently put on some weight but this dress really complimented me and didn't make me feel fat. The only issue is that it's a little low cut, so you need a lower cut bra. I got SO many compliments all night long, both from friends and from strangers! I felt like a million bucks in this dress, and my husband wanted me to buy it.

Beautiful necklace!
I wore this with the Jill Jill Stuart Dot Your Eyes dress and it was perfect! The tie makes the necklace much longer than I expected, but it was great that I could adjust the length. It was beautiful and I got a ton of compliments on it! The necklace made a statement without being ostentatious - I'm not a fan of large, chunky jewelry, so this was perfect.

Great look!
I wore this dress to a wedding, to a fancy work event, and to my anniversary dinner. I loved it, it was comfortable and fit great, true to size, and it wasn't too short. There were only 2 drawbacks: First, I'm tall, so the waist on the dress was a little higher than my natural waist. Second, the wide sleeves actually restrict arm movement a little bit when you're reaching forward, and it got kind of annoying by the end of the night. But the length was perfect, I never worried that it was too short when I was dancing or sitting down. I wore it with the Lee Angel Tie Up in Crystal necklace, and I got a ton of compliments!

Great fit!
It was perfectly true to size - I rented the 10 as a backup but I didn't end up needing it. Not too formal but I felt very pretty wearing it, and I got a lot of compliments on it! No trouble wearing a bra with it, and it was definitely very forgiving in the midsection!

Got many compliments!
I thought it fit great, definitely true to size. I saw many comments saying the bust was too tight to wear a bra, but I was able to do so with no trouble. Backup sizes weren't available, but the 8 fit perfectly, and I didn't think it was too short or poofy. It is more of an off-white than the picture shows, and it was perfect for my birthday dinner with my husband! I got several compliments on it from complete strangers, and I felt awesome wearing it!

So slimming, and love the sleeves!
This definitely runs small, so I would get a size up from what you normally wear. I wore one bigger size, and even that felt a little tight. But the rouching over the stomach is very flattering, and it wasn't so tight that I felt constricted. The sleeves were fantastic - I am always cold, so the sleeves kept me from having to wear a sweater and hiding the dress. It was a little short for my taste - I'm 5'8, and the dress only came to my mid-thigh, not just above the knee like in the model photo. I would absolutely rent this again.

Fabulous dress for my birthday! I wish I could keep it!!
The dress fits true to size, though the straps are a little long. Even though I'm pretty tall, they kept slipping off my shoulders. Great color, a nice, thick material and cut that is very flattering, and you can wear a bra with it! A little low cut, but it also gave me some cleavage, and I don't usually have any. EVERYONE complimented me on this dress. I was sorry to send it back!

Perfect fit! It was true to size, though I wish I had ordered the Long.
This dress was perfect for a Black Tie event I attended, I got so many compliments on the dress! It was ripped a little on the inside by the zipper, but the tear isn't visible. I ordered the Regular length due to reviews saying the Long was too long, but I wish I had gotten the Long. I'm 5'8, and the Long would have been perfect with my heels, the Regular was at least 3 or 4 inches off the ground. The body fit was true to size, though. I got it with the White Marabou Capelet because I'm always cold, and it was perfect! Everyone loved it, and it kept me warm and settled nicely on my shoulders, I didn't have to keep adjusting it. A lot of people thought it was a fur, though it's really more like feathers.

I wore this for my bachelorette party, and it looked great! I got a lot of compliments on it.
Cons: My hair stuck to the sequins on the dress, which ruined my hair by the end of the night, so I suggest wearing it up. Also, when dancing, the underskirt tended to ride up a little. Other than that, it was very comfortable and it fit great. I did have to pin the front though, it was very low cut.
