Classic color/design, with a great open back.
Everyone LOVED this dress. For those over 5' 8", it is a bit short, but the lining and dress itself has a bit of weight, so it doesn't really ride up. I was able to dance all night and felt very comfortable. I also didn't need to use any fashion tape on the back, but have wider shoulders so I may recommend that you have some on hand just in case. Will definitely be on my repeat list.

Perfect for Christmas Eve event!
I wore this dress for Christmas Eve mass. It was a great dress for Christmas Eve because the arms & length were more conservative. I agree with other reviews that the arms are a bit tight, but once I got the dress on it didn't really bother me at all. A great dress for a wedding or holiday party.

Classy, comfortable, and eye-catching!
I wore this event for an event that I hosted, which required me to be able to move around all night and lift/carry things. The dress easily allowed me to move and was eye-catching (many compliments). The color is a great color, especially for a fun event. The dress is short enough to be a bit fun, but not so short that you can't wear it to a professional event. Would definitely want to rent again. I am sorry the picture is so dark, it was a busy night and this is the only picture that I have!

Tons of compliments! Fun dress :)
I rented this for a summer, formal wedding. I was a scripture reader, so I wanted something a bit more elegant. This dress was a bit tight, but very flattering. I was concerned about the lace that runs along the front panel, but it was very tasteful. Even the bride complimented! Will definitely rent this one again.

Another rent the runway success! Many, many compliments including the bride herself.
The perfect option for a summer, country wedding. I got many compliments and felt classy, yet sexy. I wore a sticky, backless bra with this in case the back dipped too low for pictures. The pockets were great for lip gloss/cell phone. My only complaint is that the shoulder fell down when dancing (the dress did not move out of place though). This could just be because I have a really short torso so my measurement from natural hipline to shoulder is pretty short (i.e. likely extra fabric on me). I highly recommend this dress for any spring/summertime event! The dress fit pretty true to size. I have recently lost quite a bit of weight, so my dress size has not been constant. I ordered the 10 and 12, wore the 10. Could have almost used an 8.

Flirty but not over the top.
This dress was perfect for our law school Barrister's Ball (which is like prom). I had some announcing duties that night and a few professors always come to the event, so I wanted to wear something classy, but still have a little bit of fun. This dress was perfect. The off the shoulder cut was comfortable and stayed in place all night. It was pretty short (the fun part), but I am 5' 10" and even during dinner it wasn't too bad. I am also in the process of losing a lot of weight I had gained and it hid my weak area (my stomach) well in the wrapping.

Beautiful, but bigger than I expected
I rented these for a wedding and they are BEAUTIFUL, but almost 2x bigger than I expected. I didn't wear because of the size and because the wedding was more casual than I anticipated. I would rent this again for a more "ball" occasion, but probably would not wear them with a necklace because they make a statement on their own.

Perfect for professional event, yet still makes a girl feel sexy.
I wore this to my Law Review banquet and it was perfect. The higher neckline and sleeves made it feel professional, but it was still short enough to be fun. I had numerous compliments on the dress from students, professors, and other faculty. I am tall, but did not feel that the dress was too short. The dress fits true to size--I rented the 12 and 14 and felt very comfortable in the 12.

Perfect addition to my dress!
I wish I had a good picture of this necklace! It was the perfect addition to my dress and got nearly as many compliments on the necklace as I did the dress! It was a "tiny" bit too short for me, because I was hoping it would hang over the dress a bit for a little layering (I wore a dress that came up to my collarbone). But, my neck is thicker than average so for another woman this probably would not be a problem! Would certainly rent this again!

Cannot wait to rent this one again!
This dress was stunning and so comfortable to wear. I could certainly have worn the 12, but I am VERY self-conscious to wear things that are too tight around my hips (I have very wide hips). I received compliments all day/night from friends and strangers. The reception lasted until 2:30 a.m. and I danced nearly the whole time without any problems! We did a lot of swing dancing and even some flips and this dress was the perfect length for all of that...short enough to be sexy, but not too short to worry while dancing up a storm. I would recommend this dress for any event that is semi-formal to formal. The wedding I wore it to was fairly casual, but I never felt overdressed. And it worked perfectly without a bra (even after all that dancing).
