great rehearsal dinner dress!
Loved the fit for a fall rehearsal dinner with tights & tall boots! Usually a 12, but due to the shape/cut, a 10 had more than enough room. Lightweight, but not the most breathable fabric.

back-up dress won out
I rented a different dress from this same designer in a 12 that felt like a sausage casing (apologies to any vegetarians/vegans) so I scrambled and grabbed this one in a 14, and loved it! It fit comfortably: I was able to dance, sit, and eat (!). The color works year-round, construction and materials are great; I'd definitely rent a dress by this designer again. Just know that a) the top zipper is tricky as others have said (I'd practice on the hanger first), and b) they size small.

Meredith Blake dreams dashed
I was SO excited to wear this dress to my cousin's wedding, but this designer's 12 is a 10 for most others. The construction, material, etc is all wonderful and it evoked Meredith Blake from The Parent Trap! I was able to get it on (myself, no less!) but I wouldn't have been able to dance, and it literally tried to slice me in half when I did a sit-test. It was even too tight to try and fit shapewear underneath.

Fit like a glove, unconventional, fun, comfy, and lined! Can't say enough great things.
It's the most comfortable strapless piece of clothing I've ever worn, full stop. I wore a strapless bra with it &h as no discomfort, but given how much interior boning there is, I easily could've ditched it. And the whole jumpsuit is fully lined, so no need to worry about coverage or warmth! I was extra-aware of the cape situation when I sat to make sure no one stomped or tripped, but otherwise you barely even notice it.

Loved the dress - the hem of the skirt is a fun and different shape, and the color is so gorgeous.
The front is lined, so I didn't need to wear a bra (!); it was a bit tight in the torso - glad I ordered the XL as backup because I would have been out of luck without it - but not so much that I wouldn't rent this dress again.
