Great dress for a evening winter wedding!
This dress is comfortable and fits true to size. I wore some light compression spanx with it so smooth out the lower tummy area, but otherwise it was very flattering. It was curve hugging but not tight and the ruffle added the perfect amount of drama without looking like you were trying to upstage the bride!

Gorgeous, comfortable dress!
This dress was a knockout. I felt like Scarlett Johansson in that red dress at the Golden Globes. The material had just the right amount of stretch to be supportive without being constricting, and the stretch coupled with the high center slit were great for ballroom dancing (which is why I rented it). Note: you can't really tell in the photo because of the way I am angled, but there was a LOT of boob showing. In a good way though, as long as you aren't shy. The only reason I knocked off a star is because the straps slip a lot (for some reason one shoulder had much more trouble than the other, and I don't think I'm that asymmetrical lol) and it's so low cut that this is a Janet Jackson moment waiting to happen. The material is sort of heavy too and it rolled right off my fashion tape. In sum, if you're not going to move around a ton and you're good with a lot of attention, this dress is a show stopper!

BEST DRESS EVER
I so wish I had a photo of myself in this dress. Will rent again for sure! This dress was a knockout. It fit amazingly, hugging my hips without excentuating them and making my waist look TINY and bringing attention to my shoulders and collarbone. Only potentially negative thing I will say is the length could be a bit awkward on short girls, but for my fellow giraffes in the back row (I'm 5'11), this length is so perfect. Fantastic dress.

Incredible Gown!
This dress was great. It was comfortable, had pockets, and stayed up (I'm a 34DD). The only thing I'll mention is that it's not as full as the picture. It does have some tulle in the lining, but if you're looking for a ball gown effect, you will need to purchase an additional petticoat.

Perfect Stand-Out Wedding Dress
This dress is incredible. It's comfortable, beautiful, unique, and moves wonderfully on the dance floor. Someone even asked me if I had it made for me. I was able to wear a normal strapless bra with it, although the bodice does fit snugly. Excellent for pears because their is ample room in the hips.

Wore this for a tango performance and refused to take it off afterward!
This dress is incredible. It moves beautifully, skims the body beautifully, and is very comfortable. I am considering adding it to my permanent collection. The regular was plenty long for me, and I am 5'11 and wore 2" heels. Cons: I couldn't wear a bra, even an adhesive sticky bra, because of the low back and plunge neck. As a 34DD, my solution involved nipple petals and a good amount of clear medical tape. The slit is also quite high, something to be aware of when crossing your legs.

I didn't end up wearing this one, it was a backup dress; but it was beautiful and my fiance loved it
The material didn't seem to be as "shiny" as it looks in the pictures, which is neither positive or negative. My only issue was that the wires were sticking out of the bottom and poking me! This is probably only true of the particular garment I was sent, not all dresses, but might be worth checking with the store before you order it. Otherwise, it really is a gorgeous dress!

Gorgeous, comfy dress!
This dress fit like a dream, the corset bodice meant I didn't need a bra and it stayed up, the length is perfect for a wedding (I am 5'11, so dresses being too short can be a real problem). I got lots of compliments, and would absolutely rent again.

Perfect NYE dress
This dress was a showstopper. I got stopped practically every ten feet; people would literally nudge their friends to turn and stare at me as I walked by in this dress (in a good way). The fit is super flattering, and other than the slight risk of irritated arms from rubbing against sequins, it is very comfortable and forgiving, even after several glasses of champagne.

Flattering and pretty
Because of my height, my biggest concern is always if a dress will be long enough. This one was perfect, hitting above the knee but not inappropriately short. I did not find the sleeves to be too tight like some reviewers did. I am pretty fit but more muscular/athletic than thin, if that helps at all. Also I am around a 34D and it fit in the bust. I would recommend this for any body type.
