Great colors
Fit like a size 10, but was gapping a bit in the bust for me. Received a million compliments. Great colors and excellent length.

Multi Floral V-Neck Gown
Love by Theia

Usual Size: 10

Pockets! Asymmetrical hemline! Forgiving!!
I rented this for my sister's wedding and it was perfect. I figured I would need the 10 at the time since most dresses are a bit clingy around my stomach. This one isn't! It's forgiving and the 8 actually fit a bit better. It is a secure dress so you don't have to worry about taping and special bras and shapewear. You can just wear it, eat dinner, and then dance your face off without worrying about your clothes. In summary, it's everything you want in a dress for a major event.

Rented this on multiple occasions!
This dress is so effortlessly flattering and fits like a dream. It hides minor lumps/bumps and isn't clingy. I've rented this 2x now and it's always perfect for the occasion!

Made me look broad
Fit was fine overall, but the open back and cut of it made me took broader than I am. I ended up wearing the other dress I got.

Unexpected details!
The collar portion is tight and the dress is a little snug overall, but there wasn't a 10 available for the weekend I needed. Good news is that I was comfortable sitting and dancing so if you're in between, an 8 will work for you.

The color is stunning!
The dress is well structured and as a bonus, it has pockets!! It does not breathe well, so it was pretty heavy for a June wedding in Kentucky, but the fabric hides the fact that you might be roasting. This was a great dress and I will definitely wear it again! The 8 fit me perfectly, the 10 had some extra room, but didn't make a big difference either way, so I went with the size that fit a little more closely.

Nice cut outs.
The large was baggy in the arms but fit across my trunk well, and the medium fit my arms and chest well, but was uncomfortably tight (i.e. grabby) across my stomach. This is not a forgiving dress, if you don't have a flat stomach, it will probably make you look pouchy (at least it did on me!).

Flattering in all the right ways!!
I wore this for my graduation, it is conservative, yet form-fitting and I felt amazing in it. I was concerned that i might be between sizes (I rented the 8 and the 10), but was relieved and thrilled that the 8 fit so perfectly. The one downside is that it is difficult to sit in because it is a tapered skirt. But if you don't have wide hips, it should be fine. I just sat with excellent posture. The color is gorgeous and classmates and professors alike remarked on how pretty it was. Sorry, I don't have a photo, all the photos had my gown over top!

Pockets!!
I did not end up wearing this dress because it was a little tight in the ribcage (I'm a 36B) and I was going to wear it for my graduation, but it creates a fair amount of cleavage and I wanted to be a little more conservative in front of my professors. It is however a great length and it is very flattering overall. I love that it has pockets too!

A fun party dress!
First off, it's a really heavy material and it's hot. I wore this for a bridal brunch or something to that extent and was glad I could take it off after a short time. The plus sides are that it is very comfortable, conceals flaws, and is a great color! It wasn't overly short either, considering I'm 5'10", that's always a worry. It was really a great dress for the occasion!

The color!!!
The 10 was unavailable, and usually I can wear an 8 anyway. If the 10 had been free, it would have been perfect. The 8 was a little tighter than I would have preferred (too many weddings this summer...). However, the color is amazing and everyone complimented me on it. I think it would have been better with a belt to break it up a bit, but I had this shipped to where I was flying to, so c'est la vie. It's a really fun dress, and I'd definitely rent it again!!

Brewery wedding in Boston....works here too!
I was expecting the 10 to fit a little looser, but I chalk it up to too many festivities this summer....It just was a wee-bit more snug that I would have liked, considering it's supposed to be uber flowy and drapey. Don't get me wrong, it fit fine, and the colorful print more than made up for any insecurities I had about it. I got a million compliments and I love that I stand out without showing off considering it was my sister's wedding. If you're tall, definitely get the Tall size, I debated because so many women had gotten it AND worn 3" heels. I wore flats, and it was still a perfect length for me.

Super sparkly!!
I was pretty skeptical when I first saw it, it looks like something Diana Ross would have worn. I tried on both sizes and while the medium fit, it was definitely tighter. I went with the large because it was more comfortable, especially in the arms. Other people had commented that the fabric was scratchy, it was certainly more noticeable in the medium (another reason I went with the large). I also didn't have the problem with the neckline pulling to the side in the large as some people had mentioned. It was a lot of fun to wear this for NYE and I got a ton of compliments. I would rent this again for sure!

Disappointed!
I bought this during the dress clearance sale, I am pretty disappointed. The top portion of the dress is really billowy and looks off in the back.

Lovely dress!
Fits great, but man is it short! This is definitely a "wear with tights" dress.

The detailing is so much fun!!
I wore this for my birthday/Thanksgiving and it was so much fun to wear! The boning, however, was a little constricting by the end of the party, though, it was Thanksgiving....

Definitely turned my birthday into something special!
This dress is amazing! The colors are fun and bright and it has an interesting shape. However, it is also short. I usually wear an 8, and while that fit ok, I opted for the 10 for the extra inch of length. I wore it with tights partly because it was shorter than I'm used to and partly because it was cold out. I went ahead and got the fashion tape which other people had mentioned and it helped to keep the back in place so it didn't slip down off my shoulders. Such a fun dress though and I got loads of compliments!
