Memorable and Fabulous!
Wore this to our company Holiday Party and one year later people are still talking about this dress! Also, this picture (w my terrible posture and ridiculous gesture) is hanging on a wall at work and *literally* every day I walk by it and am still happy w my bold rental choice! I loved the long sleeves - they were stretchy enough to move around and dance. The sequins catch on every damn thing so don't wear a beloved paid of tights. Also, it is SHORT, but I wore black tights and it was fine.

Stunning, Many Compliments
Funny story: this was the first time I rented two kinds of dresses for one event so I could wear one dress and give my identical twin sister the one I rejected. Well, she wore this dress and got WAY more compliments than me in my other dress! It's incredibly flattering - looks great if you keep your hair down and do fun dangly earrings.

Beautiful AND Comfortable
I LOVED this dress, which I wore for at my friend's wedding at The Cubby Bear in Chicago. It was a really unique pattern, I never wear this kind of cut and loved it's cute sleeves. I used this pic to show me dancing - it had so much give and the back twirled! Lots of compliments.

Pockets, empire waist, beautiful back straps and no bra necessary = the perfect black tie dress!
I am obsessed with ML dresses and specifically THIS dress. First, pockets. Boom. Next, the back is sexy and supportive so you don't need a bra. And the material is thick, so it's warm but still comfy. As others have reported, that side zipper was a devil to zip up, but a little care got it going. THANK GOODNESS I had the free back-up because the 4, which would have been the PERFECT size, had NOT been dry cleaned (it had deoderant reside and some intense body odor leftover!). The 6 was a bit big, but I still didn't need to wear a bra and just went for it.

Elegant, conservative AND sexy, this was perfect for a fancy rehearsal dinner at a private club.
I loved this dress and I got SO many compliments! It was a wonderful length so I felt comfortable and conservative and the 3/4 sleeves kept me warm in the indoor A/C. But, the sheer element and the body hugging (but comfy and STRETCHY) material was super flattering. It's very feminine. The pink color was exactly as the picture, but the black design was a bit brighter than the picture shows. It's really beautiful detail, though, so it felt like a bonus.

Chic and sexy jumper, but a strange fit. And beware: major BFO (Boob Fall Out)!
This was totally unlike anything I would ever wear, so I got a lot of compliments. It is also very modern and sleek, so it looked awesome, especially when I paired it with a RTR necklace and got similar shoes to lengthen my legs. I am normally a 2/4, but couldn't get the 2 over my hips (I bet the top of the 2 would've fit me like a glove), so I settled on the 4 (which fit well on the bottom). Unfortunately, the top of the 4 was really loose and wouldn't stay up. It isn't really designed to wear a bra with it because the back is a little low, so I ended up putting on a belt, literally just to keep the top from sliding down! By the time we got to the Hava Nagela, thank goodness I decided to wear my hoodie because, as suspected, you can't do much moving around without major BFO.

I planned a black tie gala and this dress was perfect for me: I looked elegant AND was comfortable!
The "surprise" of this dress is the SLIT than runs to the waist! OMG. I had to pin the slit closed 8" down from the top. The top is blousy, but the belt is the perfect touch. I wish it was secured in a better way because, the snaps had popped off and by the end of the evening I had tied the belt around my waist so I wouldn't loose it!
