Perfect party dress
I loved this dress! It was very cute in person and fancy enough for a "formal" wedding. The waist is quite tight and has no give, and the top isn't ideal for big busts. Those two things made for a night of somewhat shallow breathing, especially after dinner, but it was fine. I didn't need a bra, either. The skirt portion is fun and flirty. It was nice for a summer wedding in Chicago, and I think the dress would work in the winter too because the colors are deep jewel tones and the fabric is on the heavy side. A great find!

Too long to wear
This dress was way too long on me. I'm 5'3 and in 3-inch heels, the 2R puddled at my feet. Even my tallest heels couldn't have saved it. I didn't wear it.

Felt fabulous but had to stand up really straight!
I loved his dress, but it might have been better to wear it for an event that required more standing than sitting. The dress is very tight and makes it hard to breathe after a meal! And it does not look very good while you're slouching--requires your straightest posture to looks its best. But I would rent it again. Definitely size up! I normally wear a 2, sometimes 0, and I almost wore the 6. Ended up squeezing into the 4.
