Soft and pretty layers!
I really loved wearing this dress and felt very comfortable in it all night. It's sometimes hard to find something that fits overall since I would typically wear a smaller size on top than on the bottom, but this worked out really well (with a little room to spare if you do have a bigger chest than mine)! All the ruffles were put together in a way that made it feel flattering and had lots of movement. It felt super light and pretty, perfect for the Saturday night event I was attending.

I loved the color and shape of the dress. I got lots of compliments on the cut-out in back too!
The color was lovely, and the shape was very flattering. I had a lot of people who came back to find me during the wedding to tell me they loved the cut-out detail in the back. It was so much fun to dance in, and pockets are always an added bonus. Only issue I had was that I found that the waistline fit tight along my rib cage. I was surprised that it was that tight since I usually wear a 4 or 6, and the 6 was the size I chose to wear for the wedding (mostly because of that issue). I'm sure that tightness helps for not having to wear a bra with the dress (a bra was absolutely not necessary, but I'm also small-chested), but the fit was great otherwise, so I was surprised at that issue. Either way, I would definitely rent it again.

Fun and flare for a semi-formal event
The fit was awesome! There was still a little room in the bust for me on the 4 but nothing that a thicker bra couldn't help with (and nothing that I was surprised about given my size!). I loved the "bubble" on the bottom because it felt loose and wasn't too form-fitted, but it wasn't too much flare so it was still flattering. The fabric was perfect -not too thick but not thin- and the pockets were fun. It was the perfect dress for the event, and I loved wearing it. In a room full of very fashionable people, I felt like it was a great match but still was fun with the gorgeous colors and unique shape.

Comfortable, beautiful, eye-catching dress!
I ordered the 2R and the 4R and while they both fit I found that the 4R was even more comfortable because it fit perfectly but just hugged my mid-section a little less in front (post-baby that little bit can make a big difference!). The dress was easy to dance in, and I got so many compliments. My friends couldn't get over how pretty the color and fit was, and then when they saw the back they were floored! I'm 5'6" and wore 2.5" heels, which were necessary given the length of the dress -it's a touch longer in back than in front.
