Top Is Strange
The top is over " blousey" and I am not small chested. It looked strange and wasn't wearable for me. It hits at a weird part of the waist as well.

HUGE
I don't know on what planet this is a size zero. It was enormous and the belt doesn't work correctly. So much extra fabric! Unwearable!

Perfect!
I rented this for a charity event. It was perfect. Fit was perfect, didn’t need a bra and wasn’t too revealing. Sexy without being over the top. It was also a great length. Dresses often hit me in the wrong spot Because of my height making them Look matronly. This was just the right length. I would beware if you are tall.

SKIN TIGHT!
I picked this picture because you can see the white hanger strap poking out. I literally couldn't go a 5 minutes without that strap showing. I was fussing with the dress ALL NIGHT. It was SKIN TIGHT and I wore a medium when I am usually and xs or small. Forget sitting down. I felt like a sausage! Anyhow, I got tons of compliments but I was so uncomfortable. I wish I had worn my equally cute back up dress.

Didn't end up wearing
This dress fit just fine but the bust area is big. I'm a 32DD so I would have expected to fill it out. I didn't need up wearing it but only because I liked my other dress a little better. It's a great dress for a party!

Felt Amazing!
I could not have loved this dress anymore! Wish I could have kept it. I wore it to see Gwen Stefani in Vegas. I felt so flirty and sexy in it. I wore the 4 but I could have worn the 2. It's very short which makes it feel sexy. At barely 5'3" it's hard to find a dress that is short and fun like this one. Couldn't recommend this dress more!

Perfect for Mother's Day!
This dress was perfect for Mother's Day Brunch. I am just under 5'3 and I loved that it wasn't too long on me. It was snug in the bust (32DD) but didn't bother me once it was zipped up. I tried on the small but it was a bit too loose and much longer. This dress felt feminine and flirty but still "mom" appropriate. Loved it!

Snuck up on me!!!
I admit, I didn't love this dress when I first put it on. I didn't think it was super flattering BUT once I was all dolled up, I changed my mind. It was perfect for a "bloom" charity gala. Lots of compliments. I got the OR and the 2R. I wore the 2R because my boobs didn't fit in the OR. It's all about the size of your chest. The rest of the dress is very forgiving. I'm 5'3, 115lbs and 32DD. Just keep that in mind when you order.

Perfect Dress!
This dress was so flattering and comfortable. The fabric is a beautiful quality and looks very expensive in person. I was afraid it would look too long on my 5'3 frame but the shorter underlay makes it perfect. I worn the XS and frankly would have preferred it even a bit tighter so I would say it runs a bit big. Couldn't have been happier with this dress otherwise. The back is just stunning.

So flattering!!!
This dress fit so well and made my legs look a mile long (I'm 5'3 if I stretch). It was so sexy without showing off a lot of skin. Got a ton of compliments and no one could believe I rented it. Even the staff at the party were asking where I got my dress. My only thought would be that I don't know how it would work on someone tall because it was the perfect short length for me. Also, I'm usually an XS and I could have worn it but the small just was a better fit and length. Wish I could wear this dress again!!!

Tons of Compliments!!
I actually didn't love the dress when I first put it on because I thought the bottom seemed too loose to me. I guess no one noticed because I got compliment after compliment all night. I loved the surprised look on people's faces when I told them it was rented. I didn't find the arms too tight or the top too hard to move around in as some people suggested. I danced the night away in this dress and felt like a million bucks!

Perfect Dress!
I rented this for Mother's Day. It was perfect. It is such a beautifully detailed dress and I received many compliments. Based on reviews, I rented a 2/4. I normally wear a 0/2. I wore the 2 and it fit great. I probably could have wore a 0 but was afraid to order it. This is very true to size. I was worried based on reviews that I would be hot in our AZ weather. I found the dress was beautifully made and I wasn't at all uncomfortable in our 100 degree temps. Wish I could have kept this dress!! Everything I hope it would be and more!

Beautiful but way too BIG
I rented this for a formal charity event and unfortunately couldn't wear it because it was way too big. I ordered the 2 which is my typical size but should have ordered the zero. I'm not even sure the zero would have fit. Beware and order smaller. Otherwise the dress was beautiful.

Not Formal Enough
I order this dress for a formal charity event. It looks much more formal in the pictures. It's actually a tapestry material and "wrinkly". It's was not formal enough for my event. I couldn't wear it.

Perfect!
I order this dress for a formal charity event and to take 10 year wedding anniversary pictures with my husband. It was perfect for both. It fit perfectly and i got a ton of compliments at the event. I am barely 5'3 and with a standard heel the length was perfect. That was surprising, at my height stuff like this is usually too long so be aware if you are "tall". I wore a size two. I am typically a 0 or 2 in dresses. I think either would have fit me. There it enough stretch in the material.

Fit Like It was Made for Me
The dress was gorgeous! I wore it for a black tie charity event. Got compliments all night and those that I told couldn't believe I had rented it. This was my "back up" dress but honestly, up until the event I couldn't decide between my dresses. They were both amazing. I will definitely renting again!
