Perfect addition!
Wore with a flowy, bohemian dress to add some contrast and structure. Got compliments all night. Also very lightweight! Earlobes didn't hurt, even 8 hours later!

Favorite dress I have ever worn!! Compliments all night!!
I wore this to a black tie optional wedding and got compliments ALL night - even from the wait staff! I usually wear a 6 but the 8 fit perfectly. I'm 5'6" and wore four inch heels and the length was perfect. Could probably have done the regular length with shorter heels or flats. I have a pretty big butt and there was plenty of fabric, wasn't tight at all. Also comfortable to sit in. You can totally go braless (in fact, I think a bra would look odd with it) and no need for pasties because the lining is enough that it isn't sheer at all. I'm a 34C and the top was the perfect size. This would be a very tough dress for someone who has a large bust though. Paired it with structured earrings and a structured clutch (cult Gaia ark bag) to play off the frills and softness of the dress. I want to buy this dress and hate to return it!

Dress isn't as bright of a red as I'd hoped for. Tight in the tush area.
Dress is a bit more bordeaux/burgundy color than pictured. It doesn't pop like a true red. Also, if you have any sort of butt, you may want to size up. The dress worked for the occasion, but I wouldn't rent it again.

My boyfriend marveled all night at how gorgeous I looked and I even got compliments from other wedding guests and the DJ!
I can't say enough good things about this dress. The color was absolutely stunning. The cut was perfect. It's a bit short, but nothing to worry about. I rented the XS as a backup and that was far too short, although it fit otherwise. I wouldn't recommend this for bustier ladies since it's pretty lowcut, unless that's what you're going for. I ended up safety pinning it on top just below where the snap is to keep it closed, since the snap was just slightly too high and didn't fall right on my chest. I'm not working with much, so the low cut line was a nice contrast to the long sleeves. I accessorized with a leopard belt (would definitely recommend some skinny belt to give it a bit more shape) and nude stilettos. Would definitely rent again (or buy!!). The color of the dress on the website is more accurate than in my photos. It's a beautiful and bright red that really pops and almost has an orange tone to it.

I rented this for a wedding and was unable to wear it. The dress fit beautifully and was very flattering, except for the back! The pieces under my arms/shoulder blades had so much extra fabric that it would've driven me nuts had I worn it. Strange because the rest of the dress fit impeccably. Fortunately, I ordered another dress as a back up.

Since some other reviewers said this dress ran large, I crossed my fingers and hoped an XS would fit since it was all that was available for my rental date. Unfortunately, I could not even come close to zipping it up. Unless you have a small rib cage (I am a 32B and typically a size 2 or 4 and it still would not fit), I would suggest sizing up! Three stars because if the dress had fit, it would have been beautiful and extremely flattering.
