Love it!
This was my surprise pick, and while it didn't match the silver-toned earrings that I rented, it was gorgeous and I got a lot of compliments on it. I wore it all weekend and I didn't want to send it back!

Beautiful, but big.
I am pretty thin, so when I spoke with a stylist and she assured me that the xs would be perfect for me, I decided to order it for a wedding. The xs was fairly fitted in the hips on me, but it was baggy in the waist. My waist is about 23 inches, give or take an inch depending on how much I've eaten. Everyone said I looked really beautiful and that the dress was stunning, but a few people did notice that it was strangely loose in the waist. In some photos, I noticed that the bagginess in the waist makes me look 'thicker' than I really am (or would like to think I am). I am tall (179 cm) and while the length of this dress looked appropriate when I first put it on, the extra material in the waist caused it to ride up an inch or two and now that I see the photos, I realize that it looked too short most of the time. I felt good in the dress most of the night, and I guess having a fit that isn't exactly perfect is a risk that you take when you rent instead of buying and having a dress tailored. Unfortunately, my backup dress ran about 2 sizes large so I had no alternative. Overall I was pleased, but I'll be more careful the next time I rent.

Beautiful construction, runs big!
This was my backup dress and I ended up not wearing it because it was huge. I had at least six extra inches of fabric around my waist and hips on the size 38. It was well made and nicely detailed so I wish I could have worn it. The fabric was very nice and the length was very appropriate: just a tiny bit shorter than shown in the model photo. While it was very large, the top was more fitted than the bottom so if you have a large bust, you should keep that in mind. I would not recommend this dress for anyone who is a size 00-0, or 0-2, and if you are a true 2, I'd order a backup just in case.
