I wore this dress for a fundraising event that I was in charge of. It was a 'Rustic Country' theme and the lace and subtle sparkle on this dress matched the theme perfectly (with a denim jacket to dress it down a bit). People asked where I got it all night long. It was so fun to wear. Only issue I had was the boning in the dress poked me all night long as did the rubber strips at the top designed to help the dress stay up. But, beauty is pain, right?? It was worth it. I'd recommend some fashion tape to help the top stay put!

Was so happy when this arrived and it wasn't too short for me! I'm 5'9" with bigger hips so I was worried it would be extra mini on me, but it was just right! Perfect dress for the occasion and I received compliments all night!

This was my backup dress and it didn't quite work out. My hips are pretty big so I think that made the slit come up even further than it should have. It's a gorgeous dress and it's made from quality material. It would be great for someone with smaller hips!

I LOVED this dress!! Pros: comfortable, fun, not too short even though I'm 5'9". Cons: a little roomy in the chest area. I'm a 34B and unfortunately I wasn't able to wear this as it was too big on top :(

I rented this dress as a back-up and I loved it. I didn't end up wearing it because I was in charge of the event I rented it for and needed to be able to move around all night and the one thing this dress lacks is a comfort factor. The sequins are slightly painful and the straps that hold it up are quite tiny. If you are going to an event where you get to sit down for a majority of it and then have some dancing at the end, this dress would be perfect! I have a small bust and larger hips and it was extremely flattering to that type of figure. If I'm ever able to go to an event where I don't have to be so busy I would definitely rent this gorgeous, sexy dress again!

This was the most comfortable formal dress I've ever worn and it has pockets which is the best idea EVER!! It probably would have fit slightly better if I had a bigger bust but I wore one of those sticky bras so that I could fill it out a little better. If you have bigger hips and a smaller chest, this could be an issue for you, too. I would also recommend doing hair and makeup before you put this dress on. Due to the small head opening, it would be very difficult to put this dress on without getting makeup on the white collar or totally messing up your up-do!! Overall it was a fabulous dress for my black tie fundraising event!

It fit pretty much how the other reviews I read prior to renting it said it would; true to size. I'm 5'9" and it was long enough that I felt comfortable wearing it to a work function. Because of the sequins it was slightly uncomfortable, but it was so sparkly that it was worth it! I wore it to a fundraiser for the hospital foundation that I am the director of and it was the perfect mix of classy and flashy. I will definitely rent again!
