The biggest selling point for me on this dress is that it has pockets! I absolutely love a dress that has pockets because then you're not constantly holding your camera or running back and forth to grab it. I normally wear a 4 but sized up because while the 4 fit well overall it was a bit tight in the chest area. The yellow lace was perfect for the summer wedding. The reception was split outdoors and indoors so this dress was light enough for the hot summer weather. I paired it with the RJ Graziano Turquoise Necklace which was a perfect accompaniment and added a great pop of color to an already great dress. The one con of the dress was that the lace did snag on a few things when I walked by them, such as handles, someone else's dress and bracelet. Overall this is a great dress and perfect for a summer wedding.

I rented this dress for the Swedish House Mafia's Black Tie Rave and it was perfect! After reading through other reviews I ordered the XS & S and ended up wearing the XS because it was an overall better fit. The small was just a big large in the arms and mid section that didn't make it as flattering as the XS. There's a slight weight that keeps the back in place so you can wear a normal bra. The dress was comfortable enough to dance the night away in and still kept me warm without sweating, probably because of the open back. I also liked how the shoulders had the mock leather giving it some edge. I would definitely rent this dress again.

I'm normally between a 2 & 4, but after reading the reviews on the fit of the dress I ordered the 2 and went down a size to the 0. I first tried on the 2, but the overall fit of the dress was loose and unflattering. The dress felt a little tight in my arms but it looked baggy in the midsection and sides. I also found that the zipper did not run smoothly and I did need help getting zipped up. I ended up wearing the 0 because while it was still a little bit looser it looked more flattering and was an overall better fit. The zipper also ran a lot more smoothly and I didn't need any assistance with it. It's a great dress, I absolutely love the color and the lace print. It was perfect for the wedding as I wasn't shivering or sweating in the material.

It was more fitted in the chest and loosens up around the waist. The inside band on the bottom was a little weird/crooked but ironing it makes it better. I love that it had pockets, so much easier to take pictures and dance when you have a pocket to put your camera in. Overall great dress for the occasion and I got a ton of compliments.
