This dress is beautiful--everywhere I went, people were exclaiming how amazing it is, from the color to the awesome way it flows behind you when walking. You will feel like royalty wearing this! I have always been hesitant to rent a long dress for fear it would be too long, so the hi-low style was the perfect compromise. Since I didn't wear a bra, I went for the size that fit a little too tight to avoid any embarrassing situations, and the dress stayed put. Despite being a bit tight, I was perfectly comfortable sitting because of the way the dress is cut--it's fitted to your ribcage but then flows outward, so no discomfort from sitting or eating, which was a huge perk. My only complaint (and only reason for not awarding 5 stars) was I think the particular dress I wore is a bit tired--it had a few stains and the boning in the bust had snapped and would have stabbed me all night if I weren't able to pad the area with gauze. But overall, the dress was perfectly "me" and I got compliments at every turn--it's a statement dress for sure.

I wore this dress for my bachelorette party, and loved it! All of my friends ooed and aahhed over how sparkly and attention-grabbing it is. I absolutely love the color--a super pretty blush/champagne. The draping is flattering to your midsection, and the sparkles distract the eye, so you don't have to worry about sucking it in all night. It is a little snug in the hips/butt--I wore the larger of the sizes I ordered. It just depends how comfortable you are with tightness! I just loved the way this draped, and the length was comfortable since I don't like to wear very short hemlines. You'll definitely stand out in this dress! My one complaint, and why I only gave it 4 stars, is that the liner kept peeking out below the dress hem. I taped it up, but it still showed a little bit. I also had to tape it at the top as it liked to droop ever so slightly. But I promise you will feel like a star in this dress! I would definitely rent it again.

I love the pops of color on this otherwise sexy LBD. I rented it for my birthday party, and all my friends loved it. My boyfriend thought it was really sexy. This dress is very form-fitting--it does have some stretch to it and the ruching is flattering, but I'd definitely size up for your backup size. Strapless bra works great, and the dress is long enough that I was comfortable not wearing pantyhose. The dress was comfortable for dancing, and I felt confident. I'd rent this dress again!
