I ended up wearing this to an 80's party and was perfect.
Of course, I would have worn it anyway! It's soft and on trend and adorable.

Very cute - shorter than I expected
You could def see your stomach. It was shorter in the front and in the back than I expected. I thought the back would hang over my butt but it did not. I did love the look once I played with it a bit. I ended up wearing it twice - once to work and then again to an evening conference session with a different pair of pants.

Yes to this dress!
The material is so amazing! The color is fantastic! The pockets were perfect. The length was great for flats and I'm only 5'4". I rented this for a concert with my hubby and I was comfortable dancing all night. It runs super large and it obviously doesn't photograph well from all angles because I look huge in this pic - but in person and from the right angle the looseness is great. One con - anyone taller than you could probably see right down the back of your dress - it doesn't lay flat, it sort of hangs loose all the way down the back. I ended up wearing a tank under it just to be modest.

Stunning and professional
I had read the fit was small so I ordered the 2 instead of my usual 0 - glad I did because it fit like a glove. The material is very thick which felt great. It's hard to lift your arms in this dress so don't plan on needing to. Overall, I felt like a million bucks for an important meeting!

Adorable
Pros: so comfy, hangs nicely (flattering draping), gorgeous color, well made Cons: lightweight and a little clingy - you need seamless underwear, I felt like my butt was a little more prominent than I would have liked for a professional environment - it also had a open back that went lower than my bra which was unexpected. I ended up wearing it to church instead of work. I got lots of compliments and I looked very well put together. Overall - it was fun to wear but for me it wasn't quite professional enough for work. For church or a day party it would be absolutely perfect!

Incredibly elegant!
I felt like a million bucks in this dress! Anytime I walked across the room, all eyes were on me. It just is so effortless and so elegant. The material is gorgeous. The print is soft and lovely. The length was perfect with 3" heels (I'm 5'4"). I literally felt like royalty. Only things to note: wear a slip, it is completely see through. I have a small chest - I think it would be difficult for someone with a larger chest. I want to wear this dress everyday!!!!!

So many sparkles!
This thing was so scratchy! My arm pits were burning by the end of the night :( Pros: the sequins are in a lace pattern. Very unique and beautiful detail. It is a unique look for a common dress type because of the back. It wasn't too short (I'm 5'4"). Cons: the slip shows out the bottom and it doesn't look good. I saw other reviews said this so I took a chance it would be fixed. It wasn't. I ended up pinning it which wasn't too difficult. It's hard to get on through the side zipper - no stretch to the fabric. It runs a little small - I had to wear the size up. Overall - I'm happy with how I looked at this event I helped to host. I wouldn't rent this again but I don't regret this rental. It definitely was a great price for a upscale dress.

This dress is everything!
I don't even know where to start... The fabric is so stretchy but with an expensive feel. The lining is silky soft. I danced all night in this dress! I normally wear a 2 and the 2 fit like a glove! There is no forgiveness as far as what it shows - stand straight and keep that stomach sucked in! Pros: color is incredible - no one had that color on! Shows off your curves like a champ. So comfortable! The sheer panels were perfect to give the dress a modern feel but it was still conservative (not overly sexy to be inappropriate). The halter top and lower back showed off my arms just right - loved all the lines! Cons: it's a tight pencil skirt all the way to your calves. Be prepared to take small steps. You have to have great posture to pull off this dress. Stand straight and suck that tummy in all night. I have pretty much an A cup so the top was a tiny bit big on me. I absolutely loved this dress - I looked amazing! My favorite rental so far!

It photographs beautifully!
I usually wear a 2 but it was too tight to breathe or move my arms in the 2. Luckily I also ordered the 4. It was hard to lift my arms very high. The sleeves are constricting. It also came pretty wrinkled. Plan to have a steamer - the steamer worked quickly and easily. I wore it for an opera performance. With the lights and and ambiance, the dress was completely angelic. I did have to wear a slip so It wasn't see through. Also it was a lot shorter than I expected. I wore it barefoot so that it would touch the ground. I'm 5'4" and I definitely would have gotten the long if I wanted to wear heels. I feel like I didn't have any shoes that would have seemed right to show under the dress. Overall, I felt like a princess.

A pop of color to stand out in a sea of black dresses!
I got compliments all night long. It just looks expensive! It fit like a glove. It was a tiny bit irritating with the sequins but not too bad. The color is way more hot pink than I expected but honestly I loved the pink better. The dress was modest and classic but not boring - I really stood out. It was way better in person than I expected! Loved wearing it all night!
