Beautiful heavy fabric with great back made this stand out!

This dress was amazing and made it hard to return it, I wanted to keep it! The fabric is thick and semi heavy, perfect for a December wedding in New York. The length of the 4p was perfect for my 5'0 frame with a 2-3 inch heel. The back is really the show stopper, it's so pretty with just a hint of sexy. The dress is rather plain but this subtle detail makes it not boring. Wore for a black tie wedding in December at the botanical gardens in New York. The dress packed well and only needed a light steam. I was able to not wear a bra or "cutlets" as the fabric is so thick. My only issue was the hooks, the ones for the neck area was were tight and hard to get undone at the end of the night and the side hook was too loose and kept poking me, but nothing a pair of pliers couldn't fix so I wasn't being poked with metal. The petite size worked great lengthwise. The 2 could have also worked but I wanted a bit more room for dancing!

Beautiful but hard to zip

Rented this as a backup dress for a gala I was attending. The dress itself was beautiful and the lace detail of the cap sleeve was lovely. I rented the 2 and it fit well, however the zipper was almost impossible to zip. The dress was the correct size and when zipper fit well, however getting it zipped was a huge issue, kept getting stuck at the skirt part. The dress itself was a bit long and even with a 3 inch heel was looking and dragging on the ground. The underskirt was a bit too poofy for my personal taste and if I owned this dress I would probably remove. I wanted to love this dress so much, but between the zipper, the length and the poof it just wasn't meant to be.

Stunning show stopper

I got this dress for a gala I was attending. I had ordered the 4 and 2 but there was an issue with the 2 so it wasn't sent, ended up not being an issue as the 4 fit fairly well, the 2 would have also fit maybe a bit more snugly. At 5'0 I always have issues with length but with a 3 inch heel this was perfect. The mini train was only a little issue but overall beautiful. It's very chesty and for those with a larger chest might show off more than desired. I was able to go braless but could have easily worn one. The color was very pretty and worked well for the event. The sequins weren't uncomfortable, as they can sometimes be. I did notice that there were various areas of the gown that appeared to be missing sequins only noticeable due to the loose strings. For the theme of the gala the sequins and sparkle worked perfectly. I felt amazing in this dress!

Amazing color and details made this a stand out dress!

I wore this dress to my boyfriends sisters wedding where I was meeting a lot of the family for the first time. I wanted a dress that was classy but fun, and this dress nailed it! The color was so pretty a perfect pinky coral that was perfect for the spring. The high neck and open back added just the right amount details to make this not boring. I'm 5'0 and wore a 2-3 inch nude heel, this dress hit the perfect knee length look I was going for. So many compliments on the dress, color, details! It was also so comfortable. I ordered the 4 and 6 as I thought based on reviews it would be tight. I wore the 4 and probably could have gotten away with the 2. While the sleeves were a bit tight they loosened throughout the night, I didn't notice if the back wasn't laying flat or not. Overall great dress!

The dress stood out!

this dress was great for a friends wedding I was going to alone. It was comfortable and I loved the cutouts! Im 5'0 and the dress was slightly longer than I would have prefered but it didnt get in the way. I wore a 3-4inch heel. I received so many compliments on this dress! it was a little "bunchy" around the stomach area, and you couldnt always see the front cutout. it was so comfortable.

Great dress for a work holiday party

This dress was perfect for my work holiday party downtown boston. The length was perfect on me (5'0) and the 3/4 sleeve and high neckline kept this work appropriate while the back added just the right amount of fun. The overall sequin and hunter green color was perfect for the holidays. I received so many compliments on this dress i would 100% wear it again. It was very comfortable to wear and i was able to go without a bra. I got the 4 and the 6 and ended up wearing the 4, it fit far better and i didnt feel like the top was too loose like in the 6.

Fit everything for the night perfectly

I was a bit apprehensive about renting this, as you never know with a bag if it will actually fit what you need. This worked perfectly. I was able to fit my iphone7 (with a wallet case on it), my dates samsung galaxy phone, lipgloss, roller ball perfume, phone charger, and wedding card. I loved the removable strap and ended up not using it. I received so many compliments on this clutch it was a great simple addition to make my outfit pop!

Adorable necklace perfect for a wedding

Loved this Love necklace! It appears to be 2 separate necklaces though and it did get twisted often. I ended up wearing just the love part.

I was so looking forward to wearing this dress, however 2 things prevented that from happening.

Beautiful dress, great color, great fabric, very comfortable; however, on my 5'0 frame, even with a 4-5 inch heel, this was still extremely long. Also this dress is way more bustier than I had expected. I was going to a wedding with a friend and wanted to look polished, this made me look like a rent-a-hooker. I have a 34C chest, and when I tried on both of my sizes both of them pushed my boobs together so aggressively. I was very overly exposed, that coupled with the length prevented me from actually wearing the dress. So disappointed I wasnt able to wear it.

Perfect small bag that fit everything

I was able to fit my ID, keys, cash portable charger and lipstick in this bag. My dress had pockets so I kept my phone in there. Perfect for the event I was going to. It had a shoulder strap that I didn't use but it was nice to have.

Loved this dress wish I could have worn it.

I got this as a back up dress to another one. Got this one true to size and was unable to fully zipper it. Beautiful dress with amazing slit. The bodice is a bit snug and I wish I had gotten it a size bigger, fabric was very nice and light weight. Will probably rent this again and go for the bigger size.

Dress was perfect for a gala in Boston! So comfortable and easy to wear. Ran true to side however the bust area can bit slightly big. I'm 5' tall and wore a 3-4 inch heel and it was perfect!! I wish I could have stayed in the dress longer!
