Subtle colors make this all-sequin dress a star
Excellent condition, like new, definitely no one would guess that it is a rental. Short hemline, as shown in the model's photo. The weather on the night of my event turned unusually cold so I had to wear tights, which looked fine. Without hosiery this dress may be too short, especially when you sit down and your entire leg is exposed.

Fun design, stunning color
Definitely a head-turner of a dress! Stands out among all those black dresses. Give yourself time to iron out the wrinkles after this dress arrives. I tried steaming it in the bathroom, no luck. Only an iron or hand-held steamer can remove the creases from being folded. But it's worth it!

Not for me, too bad.
I really wanted this dress to work because it is gorgeous! The sequins are elegant and tiny, not flashy. If you can wear a body-con dress with pasties or without a bra then go for it! Sadly, I need a bra for support and the low-back criss-cross around the waist bra does NOT work with this dress. This is essentially a backless dress.

Elegantly simple.
Comfortable fit, nice draping. The actual dress seems different from the one in the photo - the shoulders fit more like a sleeveless cut, no cap. I think I wore the right size (size 2) for my body type (5'8", 125 lbs, straight & narrow).

A spectacular dress! Understated elegance.
I am 5'8" and the size 2R was the perfect length with my 3-inch heels. This dress is best for tall, straight&narrow and athletic body types. A perfect look for a formal evening event.

Fashionable business dress
The fit runs a bit large and this dress should be worn fitted so I recommend planning on wearing your smaller size (I'm usually a size 2, but I wore this dress in 0). The length wasn't too high above the knee so it was suitable for a morning business meeting where I gave a presentation. I accessorized with simple gold earrings and a bangle. I wore peep toe neutral heels.

Garden wedding guest
The fabric allowed for a good draping effect and good movement. The orange in the photo is true to the actual color. A good choice for the not-too-formal garden wedding I attended.

Unique and elegant
The colors and fabric make this dress so chic. This was my back-up dress for a garden wedding and I wore the other one (solid orange maxi wrap) because this one was a little too restricting. The navy inside layer is cut very narrow, which is beautiful, but not comfortable for lots of walking/dancing.

Chic and original
Dress a little large for a 4. If you're between a 2 and 4 like me, I recommend the 2. Fit is very comfortable. Photographs beautifully. Lots of compliments, especially on the tulle and velvet train. Feel your inner black swan!

Not for straight and narrow
The beadwork and sequins are beautiful and elegant without being too glitzy. It was comfortable to wear and to dance in. I am "straight and narrow" and this dress made me look like I had no waist. Probably a better dress for curvy types.

I'm glad I ordered two sizes (size 2 and size 4). I'm usually a size 2. I ended up wearing the size 4 and it fit like a glove. I wore it to an evening fund raiser and I felt it was a good choice. My husband LOVED it - the color, the sexy fit (but not too sexy) and the hint-of-cleavage neckline.
