The fabric, fit, and overall style were perfection! I received so many compliments while wearing this - I was sad to send it back. I thought it ran a smidge small on the top but I also have a larger frame/rib cage.

I wore this dress for a day of summer boating! It was perfect for a hot summer day and very easy to dress up or down with the right shoes. I rented both the 4 and the 6 and didn't notice a ton of difference between the two. I ended up going with the smaller size because it laid better on the top portion with the fitted elastic waist. Too much extra fabric up top would have made it unflattering. I have a pretty typical hourglass shape FWIW (36-27-36).

I found this dress to fit true to size, but the style is definitely such that it is very snug and leaves nothing to the imagination! I ordered both a 6 and an 8 based on reviews about this running small. I could have gotten away with either but I think my typical 6 is more how the dress is supposed to fit - the 8 bunched in places. If you want to be the center of attention and don't mind a body hugging number, then this is your dress! If you are not comfortable in very tight fitting dresses, then this probably isn't the style for you.

I was pleasantly surprised by the weight of this dress - for some reason from the pictures I thought it would be a little flimsy, but the material was actual very think and made it more structured. The length was perfect. Now for the downside - I actually ended up not wearing the dress because it was just too tight in the bust. This is probably 100% due to my body type - I'm an on paper hourglass figure and size 6 (36-27-36) BUT I have a very large rib cage. So even though I would call my bust large, I often have trouble with fit in this area. Had I sized up I think it would have been too loose in the waist and hips. I really did like the dress and I think for women with a more 'normal' or smaller rib cage it would be just perfect. If you have a similar body type to mine you've been warned: order a backup size larger than your usual, but be prepared to have your heart broken :)

This dress is so slimming and beautiful! I got compliments from random passer-bys and friends alike. The sleeves were a little long on me, so that made wrist jewelry a no-go. but the dress is such a statement piece you really don't need much more than a great pair of earrings and some killer heels. It was fitted but not too skin tight. Tall girls might want to watch out - I'm not very tall and I felt that it was bordering on a little short. But I was in Vegas and with the long sleeves, I figured whats a little leg! My only regret is that my husband couldn't make the trip to see me in this amazing dress! :)

This dress is so beautiful - if there was a rent to buy option, it would be mine right now! I think it fits true-to-size. I had to order an 8 / 46 because there were no size 6 / 44's available for the date I needed. It was a tad big and I could have worn my usual size (I would call myself an athletic / curvy 6), but it was just too gorgeous to pass up. Its sexy but not showy, elegant but still fun. I got so many compliments from people I did and didn't know!
