Way too low cut and straps are in the wrong place
This was way too low cut for me at 36C, and the straps are located too far to the center so they look odd. Did not wear this. Bummer.

Too low cut
This was too low cut for me at 36C... it was boobs, boobs, boobs. Couldn't wear it.

Very pretty and comfortable
I rented this for a fall outdoor wedding, and it was easy to dance in and very forgiving.

So comfortable!
This was so comfortable and easy to dance in and I like that it covered my upper arms. The fabric was thicker, but not too hot for an outdoor wedding, and it hid imperfections nicely.

Gorgeous dress! Got complimented all night long.
This is long... I am 5'8" and I rented the regular length and wore 4" heels and it was just barely above the ground, so it was perfect. It has almost like a sweep train, or like a built in bustle or something... when you walk and when you turn, you feel it kind of sweeping around you and you feel amazing. I wore my regular bra, no tape necessary. Beautiful dress, and strangers complimented me all night and I felt the eyes of women on me all night long, no doubt wondering where I got this dress!

Gorgeous, and people commented on it all night long!
Plenty of room in the armholes, but the neck was tight. I ended up leaving the last 1/2 inch unzipped. I wore adhesive silicone cups, no bra, and it worked well. The main problem is that this was very tight in the hips and thighs, and the lining is NOT attached to the lace overlay, so the lining can creep up without your knowledge, especially when you sit down. So when you stand up you have to awkwardly reach up under your dress to pull the lining down. It was daring and stunning and classy and sexy all in one, but I was not as comfortable as I normally am in dresses, so I will probably not rent it again. I wore with a simple gold bracelet and gold statement earrings and nude pumps.

STYLIST REVIEW
Bust: 36 A/B, Waist: 30-32, Hips: 40-42. This dress is a great. casual option for date night or every day. I found it runs a bit large, so be sure to size down as your backup. Additionally, there is no bust support, and this is not an option to be worn with a standard bra. You will either need a Nubra, or a plunging bra option. As far as body types, I says it good for all shapes, even baby bumps (If you are carrying, you may want to size up instead of down). As far as length, this piece hit me at about mid thigh. I'd pair this with a cool blazer, boho earrings, and some funky booties. The color of this dress is a deep cranberry, and the fabric has no stretch at all.

Gorgeous and different! Fun.
It was a big snug, so I wore the 12 instead of the 10. The neckline is VERY low, which I was fine with, but I did get a lot of comments about how my "girls" were out. Haha. The tulle underneath poofs it out a bit, which is fun, and it has awesome pockets. I am 5'8" and it hit me below the knee. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a single picture that night.

Show-stopper!
I wore this for a wedding where I was the officiant. It was stunning. The length seemed a bit short, but I was told ankle length is "in", so I didn't sweat it. I have a long torso, and I usually wear a size 10. The 10 was not available, so I did not get to try it on, but this fit me perfectly, so I suspect it runs small. It was a bit of effort to use the bathroom, but worth it. I used a small safety pin to hold the top together- it looks wonderful when you are standing, but when sitting, it gaps open enough that it would show the entire bra without the safety pin. But that wasn't a big deal. If I could buy this, I would. My favorite rental yet, and I felt like the belle of the ball (besides the bride, of course!).

This was gorgeous.
I felt it was a bit long for a fun wedding, which made it seem frumpy on me, so I did not wear it. But the fit was perfect and it was beautiful. I am a 36C, and it had enough support in the dress itself that I did not feel I needed a bra (rare for me).

Elegant, classy, perfect!
I usually wear a 10, but could not get the 10 zipped, so I wore the 12. I am 5'8", and so I listened to other reviewers and ordered the Long size, but even with 4 inch heels it was still an inch too long and dragged, but I don't think many people noticed. The ruching was beautiful and doesn't show up well in photos. Very comfortable and easy to have on. Simple accessories allowed the dress to shine!

This dress was stunning, and compliments flew all night long!!
The only problem with this dress is the same problem other women had- the straps are WAY too long. They bagged up over the shoulders. Lucky for me, I am a wicked good seamstress, and I placed some very small stitches at the tops of the shoulders which effectively removed about 2 inches of length from each strap. This made it perfect. I wore purple crocodile pattern peep toe shoes and purple and gold jewelry and a purple clutch, and I loved the comments I got about my "bold" look! :)

I rented this as my second dress and did not wear it. This dress is DARK GOLD. It was FLASHY.
If you are looking for a wintery dress with a lot of flash, this is it. I was looking for a lightweight, spring, champagne/pink dress, which is what it looks like in the photo. This is dark gold, almost brassy. Not at all what the pic looked like. Way over the top for my spring college reunion event.
