My now fiancé proposed when I was wearing this dress. It helped me feel so special and looked amazing both in person and in photos! The vibrancy of the embroidered flowers stood in stunning contrast to the deep navy of the dress. The design drew attention to all of the right places. I did size up because of other reviews and was glad I did because the material had little give. Even with sizing up I could not wear a bra and get the dress to zip, but there was enough support for that to be ok.

Firstly, this pattern and the coloring were simply great. But I think this dress was just a little too tight for it to be flattering on me, especially in the chest. I had hoped it would be an eye hook but it was a snap and I just couldnt keep it closed. Wearing the tank top for me, added just another layer which seemed to make this dress look bulky on me.

This dress was beautiful. The fabric was light and airy, which was perfect for being outside at a vineyard in the summer. I felt like the chest area of the dress was a little smaller than some of the others I have rented, so I was happy I had followed the reviews/recommendations and sized up. Also, you cant tell from the pictures but the slight embroidery on the overlay of this dress really makes it special. I wore this dress twice and found it easy to dress up or down.

I said this dress runs large, because while it fit perfectly for me, I think for anyone with smaller boobs (I have 40DDD) a smaller dress size would have worked. This dress was gorgeous and made me feel like I was glowing all night. Honestly, I never wanted to take it off. It was lightweight, vibrant, and fun. I also thought the pattern and the ruffles were slimming. If I were to give it one negative point it would be that it is low-cut, I just added a matching tanktop to solve that problem.

A cute, lightweight dress that is perfect for the heat of summer. It can be dressed up or down with the right jewelry or shoes, and was perfect for a seaside crab festival I was attending. However, it was difficult to get to fit just right since it is a full wrap dress and the knots at the top are also adjustable. As such, you can get it to fit but you are going to have to work for it. The top was a bit low-cut on me even with adjusting. Additionally, I felt like the top was too big generally, and I am a 40DDD. Even when the straps were tied tightly when I was standing, when I sat it was just too loose resulting in me having to constantly adjust. Lastly, while the dress was cute I did not find it to be slimming. Which is fine, but worth noting.
