Tight and short bust, huge skirt
Beautiful colors. I have a particularly small chest and this was quite small on it. The part at the chest is only about 6-7” tall so not a lot of room for a bust. I wore a stick on bra but should have gone without. Then the skirt is a sharp contrast with abundant extra fabric. You could be 9 months pregnant with the bottom of the dress. It is pretty with good movement but I thought it made my bust look even more pancaked than they already are. I don’t love how tight busts force little bits of extra skin out by my arm pits like an arm pit muffin tops. It was nice to wear once on vacation for a pretty beach photo but I probably won’t rent it again.

Too large at the bust
This dress fit beautifully everywhere but the bust. It was way too large on the bust and gapped away revealing my boobs. I couldn't wear it.

Perfect Gala Dress
Everyone I talked to was wearing a black gown so I wanted something similar but with a bit of flare. This was perfect. The bow was very pretty and stood out beautifully. The dress stayed up pretty well although I wish I had a more padded sticky bra. The only annoying thing is if I wasn't careful the lining would stick out a little at the top as the dress seated down lower. So when I sat down I had to make sure I had enough give and fabric that it didn't get pulled down. I may have been able to get away with a size 2 but I did not have that in my order.

Skeptical but loved it
I wasn't sure how I would feel about the open back. I wore with a stick on bra. It worked out great although I was a little conscious if people could see in too far from the back. The key for me was tying it just right by pulling the excess fabric from the front to the back with the belt. Then I bunched the excess at my back and the open back was a bit more open and not hugging my back. I would rent or wear again for just the right purpose - something where I want something bright and vibrant. It didn't travel well due to cotton needing to be ironed again after coming out of my bag. Still liked it!

Great fit, looks great in pictures
Love this dress so much for travel! Flowy and light. Material maybe didn't breathe that well so not ideal for HOT HOT weather but great for late summer early fall or spring. Just right on the waist and bust. The arms were a little itchy with the way they fit but I still loved the dress.

Great fit
Loved the fit but didn't have anywhere to wear it. Will rent again in the future! Would have been very appropriate for any church function or spring wedding. Little gold specks in the fabric make it extra special!

Poor fit
Fit really poorly on my body type. Hugged my butt and rode up. Accentuated and even exaggerated my stomach pooch. Did not end up wearing. Sadly bc I love one shoulder dresses and it was a nice blue.

Football game
I rented this to wear for a football game in the south. Unfortunately fit poorly and would have been too hot. Also didn't quite fit the look I was going for. Had hoped for nursing friendly. It would have worked for that but not perfectly. Decided not to wear a dress to football game, probably a wise idea.

Stunning pattern and flattering fit
This was a flattering fit at the waistline and chest/shoulders area. I did have a little issue with gapping below the cross straps of the dress but with a skin colored strapless bra it wasn't an issue. I probably could have even worn a regular bra with criss cross back straps. Lots of compliments on the dress itself - beautiful pattern that is even prettier in person. Worn for a black tie optional wedding.

Bold pattern
Great pattern and cute outfit! I should have worn heels. Very flattering and the batting in the top made it slimming when viewed from the front. From the side it made me look ever so slightly pregnant in the belly area because of the way the waist hit. Also it ran really high in between by butt cheeks - kind of awkward .... Overall glad I rented, wouldn't do it again most likely.

Low cut
I ended up not keeping this dress because it was too low cut. I read that in the reviews but thought I could tie it tight enough to make it stay up or even pin it but I couldn't. I dropped it back in the mail ASAP in favor of something else. Too bad - pattern was cute!

That color!
Fit tight. I should have gone up for my back up size. Thankfully it wasn't too inappropriate and I could still dance because the material gives while holding you in. The lace was not see through at the mid section so it wasn't inappropriate for a wedding. Looked great with my husbands navy, baby blue, and perfectly coordinated fuschia TH tie.
