Too scratchy for me
This dress is gorgeous! I rarely wear a dress that doesn't allow for me to wear a bra, but I was willing to try for this one. The real issue for me was the scratchy sequins under the arms. I couldn't handle that all night. This is very stretchy and heavy so comfy to sit in if you can handle the itch. Also, the slit comes up pretty far in the back.

Stand out in a room full of LBD's!
This dress is so fun and classy. The material has no stretch and I could've used a bigger size, but it looked good with Spanx. The length was perfect, hitting just below the knee. So many compliments- you can't go wrong!

Lovely, but bad fit for me
I am a short waisted hourglass. The seam that should hit at the natural waist was too low on me. The waist was also loose, but the arms were very restricting. I always welcome pockets, but if you fill out the hips it would look awkward to have anything (even a hand) in the pockets. This dress feels and looks very expensive but not for my body type.

Cute, just not right for event
I should've known this dress would be too revealing for a work party. I have a curvy figure and things always look so different than on thin gals. The fit was true to size, just note it is very fitted in the ribcage. My hubby loved the dress, but it was a no go.

Comfortable & Sassy
I loved this length and the POCKETS!! I kept my phone and lipstick in my pockets. It was great! I am short waisted, but definitely needed my black plunge bra. Loved that I could wear a regular bra and still have a classy amount of cleavage. I wouldn't hesitate to rent again!

It's me, not you...
Overall, the dress was too short and too large in the top. To be more specific, I needed to cut a couple of inches off the straps for the but to fit better. Obviously, this isn't made to be off the shoulder ;) Also, it was plenty tight in the hips but needed nipped in at the waist. It just wasn't a good fit for my tall, hourglass, short torso figure. Beautifully made dress though!

Flattering & comfortable!
Great fit if you have an hourglass figure! The fabric is definitely best worn with Spanx underneath, but the overall cut is very flattering. No problem wearing a strapless bra and there was plenty of bust room and I'm a 34F/G. I was afraid length would be too short, as I'm 5'9" and love my heels! I wouldn't have wanted it any shorter, for sure. If in doubt, size down and get longer length. I may just rent this one again!
