Too large on top
Beautiful dress but the top is too large and exposes the goods.

All the glitz and glamour!
This dress. I felt like a movie star wearing it! It hugs you in all the right places. It does run a little large and there was some bunching by my butt that made me look like I had a little tail, but in a dark club in Vegas no one noticed. The sleeves - amazing. I was nervous they'd dip in to things at dinner but nope! And the bell sleeve is very flattering on the arm. I will say the boning in the dress got really annoying and dug into my hips, but after a few drinks and dancing I stopped noticing. There are also hanger strings that I had to pin down, otherwise they kept popping out, so that was annoying too, but those are insignificant compared to how I felt in the dress. Would absolutely rent again.

Didn't get to wear this - sad :(
This dress looks amazing but it's way too tight. I read from other reviews that I should size up, so being a 6/8 I rented an 8 and a 10. Both dresses were way too small for me to even zip up. I was really disappointed because this was the dress I wanted to wear but couldn't.

Didn't get to wear this.
The dress overall is really pretty, I wish I had been able to wear it. The sleeves themselves are fine, but the dress has too much fabric in the bodice and was bunching on the sides/in the back. It made me look bumpy so I didn't end up wearing it for this reason.

All the sparkles! And the sleeves are a good length too.
The shirt fits pretty true to size, though I did notice bunching in the back where the button is. Not a huge problem but I kept pulling the back of my shirt down. The sparkles are awesome. I was in vegas and wanted more of a dramatic look so I didn't wear a tank top with it. I felt sexy, and the girls were still covered by the ruffles in the front. Would definitely rent again.

Absolutely wonderful
Classy with a little bit of sexy. I got compliments all night. The dress is super comfy and runs true to size. The model is wearing heels but I wore flats and it just barely skimmed the floor, which was perfect. Wore a regular bra with it. I thought I'd have to pin the dress together at the bust but it actually stayed secure all night and I didn't worry about the girls showing. I've already rented it again for another wedding in a few weeks.

I was not able to wear it.
Pros - the color is exactly like the picture, the flirty frilly parts are beautiful, the length is perfect for a classy look. Cons - It runs small, so if you think you'll fit a size 6, get a 10. I'm a 6 and the 8 was still too small. The side with the off-the-shoulder strap is uncomfortable. You can't really raise your arm because the frilly part is tight around the arm. It bunches on the sides, so you end up looking lumpy.

Fun dress. I loved the black on gold.
Dress fits true to size. It's a little poofy in the skirt but no one could tell but me. Pockets make it so fun!
