So fun and playful!
Rented this for the fancy night of a bachelorette weekend in Georgia. It was PERFECT!!! I can't say I'd want to own it, but it was so fun for the weekend! Tons of compliments and I felt great. Big fan. It is really busty, I went sans bra and the length hit me just below the knee which worked with taller espadrilles.

Pretty but not anything special
This was sent as a backup when the one I picked wasn't available. It was pretty, but didn't look like RTR quality, more like TJ Maxx

Awkward length, Gorgeous print
The length was weird, below the knee but not in a cute way. The pleated skirt didn't do me any favors either. I returned without wearing.

Cute, but not cute enough
I have an athletic build and I just filled out this dress too much. It was cute, but just too tight. I typically wear a 10 and ordered the M & L. Couldn't even get the M on, and the L was on but I wasn't comfortable in it. I passed on this one.

Just beautiful! Classed up my LBD perfectly
This is just gorgeous! I rented it for a wedding to go with the Carmen Marc Valvo Black & Blush striped dress. I ended up not wearing the dress, but used the clutch! Be warned though - it won't hold more than your phone and a credit card. Its a tight envelope, so if you're looking for an everyday clutch- keep looking. Gorgeous construction and colors though, perfect for a spring wedding!

Not as cute as it should have been!
First of all - the fabric on this dress is GORGEOUS. I fell in love right when I took it out of the bag. I ordered the size 8, and I'm usually a 10 but based on the reviews and stylist notes, it seemed stretchy so I ordered down. The top was cut weird, it poofed out at my armpits and didn't lay flat. The fabric is stretchy, but I feel like I could have even gone even one more size down. The skirt was SUPER long. It hit below my knees and I'm 5'8! I ended up not wearing it because it was so awkward looking. If I was going to a Mad Men themed party, it would have hit the mark, but I'm not a 50's housewife so it had to go!

Black and Blush Stroke Dress
Carmen Marc Valvo
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 8"

The colors of this dress are beautiful and perfect for fall. Received lots of compliments!
I was nervous about the length of this dress so I ordered my normal size (6) and a size up (8). I ended up wearing the 8 and it was still slightly short. The 6 looked like a shirt on me. I recommend ordering up in size, as it runs small. The skirt also flares out, making it shorter. I wore this to a late September wedding in Charleston and it was perfect for the temperature and season - summer cut with beautiful deep fall colors. It also photographs very well and I received tons of compliments! It was a really fun dancing dress too - flared skirt = fun for twirling :)

Slouchy and hard to keep closed
This was super cute in theory, but actually using it didn't go so well. It didnt stay closed and it was just OK.

Looks amazing in photos!
It was a great fit. Could wear a regular bra and it was comfortable. I wore the 10L for the length, it's shorter in front so I needed the extra inch or two. Got tons of compliments and it really looked amazing in photos.

Very cute. Wish the chain was a little longer.
Super cute and versatile but the chain needs another three inches. I used an extender with it and it was perfect.

Way too small
This came in my unlimited box, it's super tight and I don't think I have large wrists. Very chunky, good for going out but too chunky for everyday.

Back up Dress steals the show!
I wore this to a black tie event in February - got TONS of compliments. Definitely runs TTS and great for curvy girls! I had the size 12 because it was my backup dress, it fit- but I definitely needed the 10. ALSO - you need a backless bra with this one. Be warned. I had to make a last minute run to the store in a panic.

Great dress, fancy - but not over the top. Very flattering!
I ordered a size up from what I usually order because my size was unavailable--- risky, but it worked out great! I'm 5'8 and the dress hit perfectly just above my knee. Wore with simple sparkly earrings and it was a hit! Would definitely wear this one again.

No kidding about the bra!
I am a true size 8 in dresses, but the embroidered band around the waist was super tight - I got it on and it looked better than the 10, but the clasps were pulling and it looked weird. you DEFINITELY need a backless/strapless bra, this is not a joke. Its a really cute dress and I got a lot of compliments, but it was a tad stressful to make it all work. Lots of fashion tape! (ps- Victorias Secret Fashion tape is terrible).
