Very nice material but top runs small
I really loved this dress but it is not good if you have a larger chest. Im a 34D so I thought it would be ok but the cups are very tiny and although the size I ordered zipped up the top of the dress did not cover me and I was spilling out the top. The bottom 1/2 was gorgeous and the details like the pockets and fabric are all really well done. Wish it fit me would definitely recommend to people with smaller chests.

Great for graduation
I rented for my law school graduation. It was outdoors in Florida so I wanted something light. This was perfect and comfortable. Ran true to size (I only ordered the 6 and it fit great) and looks great in photos. I didn't wear spanx under it and felt the material was still very smoothing.

Beautiful and classic
Very light, wore all night without even noticing they were in my ears. Very beautiful, they really add that final touch of sparkle and complete a look.

Classic but still sexy!
I really loved this dress, I usually don't like strapless dresses because you have to keep pulling them up all night, especially if you are dancing at a wedding, but this was so tight it wasn't going anywhere. I bought one of those sticky bras that you cinch in the middle with a string and it really worked well under this dress. The fabric is very nice and thick for a formal wedding and the flounce at the bottom is so much fun. Very hard to go to the bathroom because it is so tight around the bottom and do not expect to take big steps so, if you have a lot of walking to do this might not be the dress for you. Size up for your second size it runs very small, but it really shows off your figure in a flattering way.

Black Luna Dress
Cinq à Sept

Pin-stripe perfection
Runs large, I ordered a small and a medium and the medium was big with lots of extra material bunching in the back and waist. Really forgiving stretchy material with a pin-stripe pattern, makes it look a little more like a "business" style dress for a work conference than a wedding, but still very flattering on.

Flirty and fun, fiancee loved it, great color!
Very difficult to zip the last 1/3 of the dress, once zipped I absolutely loved it, but I did need help. I wore it for a couple engagement pics but changed because I was not comfortable with how low it was in the chest area for that occasion. I bought fashion tape per other reviewers recommendations but I did not need it because being a 34D I filled out the top to the max and felt like I kept pulling it up so as not to show anything, even though I had nipple covers on. No bra needed so much flirty flounce at the bottom but not to the point where it makes you feel like you are too fluffy. The fit is very flattering and besides being a little too low in the chest for the occasion I would definitely rent again :) I rented the 4 and 6 and even though I could wear the 4, the 6 was more comfortable and better in the chest area.

Sleek and sweet
I rented this as one option for engagement pics and even though it is very different from my usual style I really liked it. The skirt was a bit a fuller than I normally wear, but very sweet and innocent looking, the lace on top was very classy and I loved how simple and classic it all looked. I am usually a 4 but this was only available in a 6 and it actually fit perfectly.

Sexy, a little too sexy...
I rented this for a wedding and it was really gorgeous I just felt it was way to revealing on the top for the venue. I'm a 34D and I was spilling over the top, might be better for smaller chested girls or a date night. It clings to the body but not in an unflattering way and the metallic sheen is really fun, I would definitely rent again for a different occasion.

Night Ocean Mist Dress

Chic and comfortable
I was sent this as a backup when the original dress I ordered was too large. I wore it to my friend's restaurant/wine bar opening last October and it was perfect. The material is very thick and nice and the details on the wrists and front are beautiful, no need for jewelry as they really sparkle and shine. The dress looked great in pictures and hit about mid thigh (I'm 5'4"). I paired it with some leather boots and it worked out great. It was more of a straight fit then super clingy which ended up being perfect considering all the food and wine we had that night :)

Love this dress!
I rented the small and the medium and thought I would wear the medium based on previous reviews, but ended up going with the small. The material on the medium bunched up in the stomach area when I was seated and there wasn't a huge difference in length. The dress is tight but it is such a nice thick material that I didn't need to wear spanx. I loved the print and it was perfect for a Florida wedding with an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception.
