Stunning! Odd top
Wore to a gala at local garden and got a million compliments! I felt great! Loved the sequin and the colors. The top is odd - lots of reviews saying not for small boobs or not for big boobs. I think it would fit strangely on just about anyone. The line sits up too high, hit me mid-chest. But it was also roomy/gapped a bit in the chest and sizing up further would have just made it worse. It wasn’t really noticeable in pictures, but if you think it’d bother you then I would go with something else. Otherwise fit was great! Length was perfect.

Beautiful, form-fitting, and warm
I wore this to a nice NYE dinner followed by an outdoor walking tour (PA). It was warm enough with tights and my winter jacket to be out in the cold for a few hours. I loved the color and the fit! The other reviews are spot on in that there is limited arm movement. If I hadn't worn tights I would have definitely wanted spanx as it's very form-fitting. The large was much too big in the arms.

Cute pattern for Spring Wedding
This dress was really comfortable and fabric slightly stretchy. I thought both the 6 and the 8 fit fine.

Stunning color!
Picked this dress for the color (reminded me of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days) and it didn't disappoint! It is a little long though, to my knees at 5'8", with a higher neckline so I thought runs the risk of looking conservative. Paired with super high heels to counter and felt like a rock star! Fabric isn't super forgiving and I sized up

Flirty and chic! Surprisingly warm
I got this with my birthday rental and loved it so much I bought it. I was nervous because fur can sometimes look cheap but I thought this was so well made. It's very soft! I got lots of compliments! Although it ended up snowing on our walk and while it was fine in pictures, it definitely looked a little silly wet in person.

Stunning color & classy look
I thought this color was amazing for a spring wedding. However, the fabric is a little heavy and we were outside for the reception/cocktail hours which was a little brutal. The dress is on the conservative side so I paired with silver heels and a big necklace. I would rent this again

Glitter & fun!!
This dress is fun, comfy, and the fabric has a decent amount of give. The only place it might bother you is under the arms (with the glitter). I thought that it was flattering at the neckline but I don't love my arms in pictures (there aren't a ton, hence action shot of dancing attached). I wore this for a New Year's wedding and it was perfect!

Beautiful but..
This dress was incredibly low-cut on me and so I didn't feel it was appropriate for my event. The color was stunning and I probably would have worn it for a friend's wedding but not family. Someone with a flatter chest may not have an issue

Classy! Felt very elegant wearing this & got lots of compliments
This fit nicely but was difficult to move arms above shoulder-height. I'm not sure a larger size would have helped as this fit nicely across my chest and I'd be nervous a bigger size would fall down. 8 was much too small though

beautiful dress; heavier fabric was nice for an outdoor wedding in the fall
very flattering cut; neckline is a little high so pictures where you don't see the full dress have a conservative feel to them

Classy & cute!
This dress was perfect for a formal work event - fairly conservative but the bow added a little fun. I tried to make more youthful with some strappy heels. If I did it again I might belt for added shape (but that may have been overkill with the bow). Liked it!

Too big
This dress was too big for me in the chest so it didn't give me enough shape. I really liked the style but went with my backup dress since I felt it was more flattering

Classy & sophisticated!
Loved this dress! It was the perfect length with my 2" heels (I wore the regular length) so shorter girls may find it a little long. Got a ton of compliments! It definitely looks white in the dark though so watch out if you head to a bar after your event - lots of people were asking us if we just got married :)

So many compliments! Felt like a million bucks. And both the fabric and peplum were very forgiving
With my three inch heels the R was the perfect length with my heels
