This was my back up dress for a black and white NYE gala and I didn't end up wearing it to the event. Still, it fit like a dream other than being a bit long without heels which I don't wear since my husband is shorter than me). The material is beautiful. I will definitely rent this for another event!

It is NOT green! The information online says it is and so did the consultant I chatted with but I took a chance that it would be charcoal (we were going to a black and white NYE gala) and I'm glad I did! The dress is charcoal with silver irredescence on top and cream with gold at the bottom. As you can see, there is less of the cream than in the photos (perhaps because I got a regular length?) I rented the size up and the size down since my size was not available. The 18 was too snug and the 22 was quite big. Luckily my mother minored in fashion design and was able to baste the sides with temporary stitches so that it fit like a dream. I am 5-6 and the regular length was perfect with my sparkley flat sandals (my husband is shorter than me so I haven't worn heels in years) Everywhere I went at the Ritz Carlton that evening, I was stopped with compliments on the dress. My husband kept saying my dress was the best one there...I agree it was definitely in the top 5 (there were some amazing gowns at the event!) I loved the pockets as they allowed me to keep my camera close!

I rented this for our yacht club's Commodore's Ball. I wouldn't call it ombré as it is navy sequins over black material and doesn't go from light to dark but it was stunning! I am 5-6 and the regular length was perfect with 1 inch heals and even worked when I changed to 1/2 inch shoes for dancing. I don't wear high heels since, as you can see, I am taller than my husband. My husband loved the sparkle under the lights in the ballroom. This dress was very comfortable to wear. I'd rent it again for a function with another group.
