I have been looking for the right occasion to wear this and it finally came! This dress was a stunner! My boyfriend loved it and it was an amazing gown for a beautiful wedding. Wore some tall wedges (I'm short!) and it was perfect. Even when the shoes come off at the wedding it was not a hassle to pick up the dress and dance. It added to the fun! The dress has pockets which is an amazing addition and I didn't have the same problems others did with the straps despite having a smaller bust so I was concerned the straps might not stay put. The zipper is indeed the toughest part bc it's a thin zipper and thick fabric. You'll need a hand! Would definitely rent again!!

Fits as described and a really fun skirt for a weekend. Trying to put more color in my wardrobe and this was a fun way to do that for the weekend. The slit is super fun so would definitely wear more casually than in an office, and super comfortable. It wrinkles like crazy, so I steamed it before wearing it only to see it wrinkled immediately. The pattern nicely covers it tho!

Definitely not what I thought I'd love, but that's what RTR is for! Making you try things outside of your comfort zone. The dress hugs all the right curves and isn't too long for short girls like me (5'2). The ruffles are flattering and despite it being slightly stretched at the top I didn't have any problems with the dress slipping down. The color is just beautiful too to couple with some jewelry I've had forever and some Louboutins for a country club rehearsal dinner.

This dress was beautiful, but could have totally gone with a petite. It was a bit long even with tall heels. The stress fit well, but was just snug enough to know it might become uncomfortable as the night went on so I ended up wearing another dress. The color is much brighter in person and the fabric is thinner than it looks so it is very breathable. Maybe next time!

Sadly I ordered this as a potential backup and I'm glad I thought to keep another item. I ordered the AR following the reviews who said it would accommodate up to a certain size. That is NOT the case. It was far too narrow and as soon as I saw it out of the bag, I knew it wouldn't fit. Definitely order up in size and keep options in mind.

I'm hit or miss with DVF because I'm not a toothpick shaped kind of lady, but this had enough give to make it fun. It was a little on the itchy side bc of the fabric, but was sparkly and cute, but not too ostentatious (I'm pretty low-key day-today, so it was a little outside my comfort zone being sparkly).

I like the fit of the top, but the fabric of the dress seemed cheaper than I expected. I didn't fit my short 5'1 frame the best, so I went with another option.

Wore this to officiate my best friend's wedding and it was simple, with a little hint of sexy with it being curve-hugging. The slit in the back makes walking super easy and a great opportunity to have a sexy shoe peek out. Would definitely recommend. I changed out of this dress for the reception (since I was also part of the wedding party), but would have happily stayed in this all night.

If I could keep this dress I would! I've been on the hunt for it forever and then seeing it pop up here was just the sign I needed that I should rent it for a night at the ballet. My boyfriend loved it, I loved it and I got endless compliments. The dress is heavy lace which makes it not feel too delicate or dainty. The full skirt and hidden pockets make it a fun dress to be in all evening. It's snug at the waist so after a full meal, cocktails, and nibbling, it can feel more snug than you first started. Be ready for some cleavage - even for my small upper body, there were a few close calls (I decided to forego the double stick tape), but if you have a larger chest it might fill this out better. Definitely would rent again!

This was sent to me as a complimentary backup and I wanted to like it so much, but it ended up not meeting my expectations. I have large hips and a butt so this dress though it fit well on top did not fit well on the bottom. Also, the ruffles are a little much for a curvy frame, so I probably wouldn't recommend this for curvier women.

Like most Leger dresses, this hugs all the curves. The color was beautiful for a spring wedding and paired with delicate, stay heels it's just perfect. The fabric is thicker than you would expect so it will definitely keep you warm. I needed some time to cool off after dancing the night away in this dress.
