OBSESSED

I am so obsessed with this dress I might buy it! Sexy and elegant, stretchy fabric, incredible color (though as some of the other reviews mentioned it is definitely on the pink side of red), THE BACK, got a ton of compliments. The only downside is that the arm holes cut in a little bit so I had to get pretty creative with the tape to prevent excessive side boob creases. Otherwise — this dress is perfect.

Overall a great dress!

All in all this dress was great. Other reviews said that there was too much fabric in the bust but I'm a 36E and just decided to embrace the boob-forward cut in the front -- fit me just fine. The only drawback was that the straps almost felt too long. I have a long torso and the space between my upper bust and top of my shoulder is long as well and I found myself pulling up the straps all night. I'm also almost 5'8" and 3.5 inch heels were almost too tall. Still it was a gorgeous dress!

Print is gorgeous!

Pros: color is amazing, super flattering waistline, felt perfect for an April wedding. Cons: I have a very full bust so had to wear a strapless bra and I was still puking it up by the end of the night. The material is unforgiving especially around the midsection so I also wore spanx. This dress was beautiful but tight enough that I probably wouldn't rent it again unless the event was going to involve mostly sitting.

Loved It!!!

This dress made me feel like a million bucks. I did end up wearing spanx for my own comfort but probably could have gone without. The only drawback was that the straps are a little long - generally not a problem for me - so I by the end of the night I was definitely pulling the dress up a bit. But I got a ton of compliments and felt fantastic.

Pretty Solid!

Overall, a great dress. Very comfortable and the material is much lighter than it looks. There is a weird seam right below the ribbon at the waist but it wasn't too noticeable. I was outside in the heat and I still felt mostly cool. The overlay ran a little longer than I expected and the top was just sliiiiiiiiightly too big - which is saying something since I'm very busty. Probably wouldn't rent again but it did the job!

Good but not quite great...

Overall this dress was lovely. The arm holes had a bit of a gap so I ended up going braless and the top was tight enough that I didn't deal with too much bounce. It was a little longer in the front than I expected and the back is long - even in 3.5 inch heels (and I'm 5'7") the back touched the floor. The skirt swished and made dancing super fun. It did the job but not sure I'd rent it again.

Almost perfect!

Overall, this dress was perfect. Fun and unique - I got lots of compliments. The dress definitely sat at my natural waist which made me look a little boxy but it was still lovely. I was able to go without a bra -- which at a 36/34DD is rarely an option -- but the top is snug. Bustier ladies should be a little careful with this dress.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVED IT!!

This dress couldn't have been more perfect. Runs absolutely true to size, though I have a very full bust so the top might run large on other women. I'm just over 5'7" and it hit me just above the knee. The full skirt was great for dancing and I felt amazing in it. Got lots of compliments and I would absolutely rent again!

A lovely dress - got lots of compliments!

The 10R fit my waist no problem, but because of my larger bust, the back didn't fit quite right. I wore a navy bandeau because I can't go without a bra but it still showed off enough skin on my back to stay sexy. The length was great and it accentuated my curves while still being roomy enough to allow me to eat that extra slice of pie at the reception. I probably wouldn't rent this exact dress again but it did the job.
