Glittery glam!
I had been eyeing this dress for awhile and finally had the perfect occasion to wear it. The fit is true to size, with stretchy material so there's some give to it. I am beer shaped and it definitely hugged my curves, but not in a bad way. Dress is light weight for having so many sequins. Loved and would definitely rent again. Easy back zipper too-always appreciated.

Comfortable and classy dress for a wedding
I rented this dress for a formal wedding and it was perfect. It runs big, I think I could have worn an 8, but they didn't have my backup size to rent. As such, it was actually really comfortable and the lace back was a beautiful touch. Didn't need to wear a bra and that also worked out just fine.

Old Hollywood glamour all night long!
Gorgeous dress perfect for a black tie affair. Felt like an Old Hollywood movie star/Jessica Rabbit ;) The dress is very form fitting without being too tight (i.e. you feel tucked in while still being able to breath). I wore Spanx underneath for added smoothness. The sides have a nice detail and the bottom is flowy and pretty. It fits true to size and I wore a strapless bra to help fill out the top, but it wasn't absolutely necessary. Received compliments all night long from people I knew and also total strangers. Loved this dress!

Sparkly perfection!
This dress is a winner! It's glittery and sparkly, but not over the top. The fade from blue to pink is seamless and adds beautiful dimension to the dress. It's gorgeous in person, none of the photos do it justice. It's definitely form fitting, but not overly tight. I wore Spanx just to smooth things out, but I felt totally comfortable all night and could breathe just fine. Another review said the following and I agree: Dont question it, rent this dress!

Sparkly and fun!
Loved this dress and would rent again in a heartbeat. I wore the large and it was quite comfortable. The fabric is stretchy and doesn't pull at all. I followed the recommendations of a few other women and wore Spanx just to feel a little more tucked in. I didn't do much dancing, but I can see how if you were moving around a lot it might get a little warm and scratchy. Perfect for a fall wedding that called for cocktail attire. I got compliments all night!

Sleek and sexy look
I rented this dress for work and it's pretty tight, which at first I wasn't sure if I could pull off. But the length, neckline, and basic color blocks all worked just fine for my office. I definitely felt like I needed to wear control top tights with it, especially given the white section of the dress. Overall, very comfortable, easy to move in, got a ton of compliments all day.

Simple and chic
I rented this dress for work and it was great. The fit was excellent and overall very comfortable. Both in room to breath and the actual feel of the fabric. The ruffles add a nice detail as well. It's also very light weight, a plus!

Cute tuxedo vibe
This is a cute dress for work or a casual cocktail party. It fits true to size, fitted on top with more room in the hips. The only thing I didn't like was that the pockets bunched out, even after ironing. I wore a long sweater with the dress so it covered them up, but I would have preferred not to. Otherwise, a sharp little dress.

Cute dress, perfect for work
Great dress to wear for work for chic business professional. I loved the bell sleeves and flouncy bottom. The fit was maybe a tad big, but with a dress like this it was ok. Super comfortable and very smooth/soft fabric. Easy zipper up the back. Would definitely rent again.

Sexy jumpsuit that makes you feel like a superhero
I'd never worn a jumpsuit before because I didn't think it would flatter my body type, but I'm so happy I took a chance on this one. The top is super sexy and fit great, while the bottom did its job to hug my curves at my hips and flow around my legs. This is a great piece for a cocktail or birthday party and I felt fantastic the entire night as I collected compliment after compliment. I would definitely rent this again.

Old Hollywood movie glamour
This is a gorgeous dress that made me feel like an old time movie star. It is extremely flattering for women with smaller tops but with curves on the bottom. Hugs close, but you're able to move in it with relative ease. I'm 5'7" and wore two inch heels so the 10L was just right. The fishtail bottom added a little something extra too. Side zipper, and button neck. Loved this dress!

Chic, comfortable dress with a touch of sparkle!
Loved this dress. It fit perfectly, fitted through the chest and waist area and then flowed out nicely around my hips. For a pear shaped body type it worked very well. The fabric was light and in 90 degree Atlanta heat, I was warm, but not unbearably so. The pop of gold sparkle at the bottom was a really nice touch. I received compliments from multiple strangers throughout the night. A great dress for a cocktail party or moderately formal wedding.

This is gorgeous dress that made me feel like I stepped out of a fairytale.
I regularly wear an 8 or a 10 on top, but I was worried this may run small so I ordered a 10R and a 12R. The 10R fit perfectly, just right on top with no pinching or pulling. The dress is long, but I don't particularly like wearing heels, so I wore kitten heels that are probably 1.5 inches and that worked just fine. The color is gorgeous and the slight sweetheart top was very flattering. I received compliments from strangers throughout the night and couldn't have been more pleased with this dress!
