In a Sea of Cardinal and Straw, This Dress Still Managed to Stand Out at Convention.
Wore this to volunteer at my fraternity's convention. Dress code required that I wear our colors and this dress nailed it! With so many fabulous outfits walking around, this dress still got too many compliments to count! Fit true to size. I am busty (36DDD) and, although the gals were out on display, the material, length, and overall presentation of the dress still left this looking quite professional and elegant.

Like a Peignoir with Baubles
This is so much like a peignoir that I lounged around the house in it a bit. The shoulder adornments are a bit distracting, but not a huge issue. Lots of cleavage, so if you're uncomfortable with that, I would skip this dress.

Cute Everyday Look
This dress is made of nice, thick material and hangs well off the frame. I'm usually a 14/16 and the 1X fit just fine. It's very comfortable.

Rented for a Concert
Rented this for a concert, but could not wear it. It runs very small and I couldn't zip it up all the way. Very cute for the right person.

Cute on top, but goes downhill from there
True to size and the overlay is great. There's something about the way the waist is sewn that takes away from the overall look. It threw hubs off enough that he suggested I return it without even wearing it. I have unlimited and this is only the second dress for which he's made that suggestion.

Birthday Dinner Party
This dress is really cute on. Sizing for CMV runs small, but I could still zip this up, no problem. I'd recommend going up a size, though for your backup. if you have a large bust, know that it will be on display. I was nervous about the bubble skirt (especially since the dress was snug), but it only emphahized my curves in a good way. Only downside is that the dress wrinkles easily, so steam/hang it before wearing.

Dress with Pockets for Birthday Tapas and a Night on the Town
This dress has pockets, so no bag necessary! Dress is cute, but the ombre is not as noticeable in person. Felt a little large, but didn't look ill-fitting unless you alerted the observer. If you've got cleavage, expect most of it to be on display. I have a large bust (36DDD) and there was no room for modesty.

Cute for everyday wear
Paired this top with jeans. It's a very cute peplum top. Be aware that there is no real stretch in this blouse. Although cute, I wouldn't recommend it for the more buxom. I'm a 36DDD and my gals were smooshed down like I was wearing a sports bra.

For a disco party.
This is really cute for someone comfortable with their body and not at all shy. There is no room for modesty (or much else) when wearing this. The shorts cover up your backside just fine, but don't expect much coverage elsewhere. It is a fun and sparkly outfit that definitely gets noticed!

Great dress for a chill housewarming party!
The dress fit perfectly! It was completely out of my comfort zone (the high-low hem and high collar), but I received tons of compliments and felt great in it. If you're short like me, I'd pair it with heels. I wore nude wedges (not pictured) and it gave me more "leg" to showcase the high-low hem.

A beautiful dress for an ordinary day.
Let me say that the picture doesn't do the fabric justice! It is such a beautiful dress in person that I was so disappointed I couldn't wear it. I am short, a size 16, and large-chested (36-DDD), but the dress was too large in the stomach and chest. I even sized down and it was still too big. The bottom half of the dress was well-fitted and lovely- so much so that I tried to belt the dress to hide the extra fabric. Even my husband noticed that there was too much fabric hanging in the chest and midsection. This would be a lovely dress on an apple or triangle shape. I'll probably even try renting this again in the colder months and hide the extra fabric with a sweater or jacket.

Everyday wear
Love love love this casual dtess! Plus size ladies, a "W" size is not indeed a "W" (I ordered a 14W and got a 14). This dress fits like a glove and my husband adored it! The zipper is a cute touch. I have a large chest (36DDD) and while it was a bit snug, the gals weren't smooshed and it didn't look at all awkward. I'll be renting this one again in the summer!

Everyday wear, but wore to a networking luncheon.
Runs large. I have a 36-DDD chest and the dress was still a bit too big. Size down. Got tons of compliments! Will rent in the red, 1-2 sizes smaller.

Evening event for work
If you are plus size and wanting to order this, go up a size. This is not a W-sized dress, I ordered the 14W and got a 14, so I had to return it. It is absolutely gorgeous, though, and I plan on renting it again when the occasion calls for it, but I now know I'll need to order a 16W in order to get a 16 (it's actually the way a lot of the plus dresses are sized, so don't let the W fool you). Ladies, if you're plus-sized, you know the difference between a standard size and its W counterpart.

I wore this to a beer festival and felt like a lady!
Wore this one to a beer festival. Got tons of compliments and questions about where to get the dress. It has pockets, so no purse needed! The color, the lace, the quality material- you'll ooze confidence! One caveat, though if you are renting the "plus size." I thought I was getting a 16W, but it is a 16. If you are plus, you know the genuine difference is an inch or two of material in the waist, so if that's your concern, size up. I only mention this because I've noticed it with a lot of my rentals on here (ordering a 14W, getting a 14; this time I assumed a 16W would be a 16). Just wish it was properly labeled, because there is a difference between a size and its "W" counterpart. I plan on renting this in every color!

I let hubs pick out an extra dress to add to my order.
I've rented tons of this designer in 14 before, so I figured this should be no different. I couldn't get the dress to zip past my rib cage! If I'd tried to get it over my chest, I would've destroyed the dress! Plus, the dress itself came very dingy and gross-looking. I noticed a lot of people renting it for engagement photos and dcasual weddings...I'd think twice if you're Type A.

Wore for a masquerade gala. My date was speechless.
Depending on how you wear it, this dress can look either dowdy or darling.

Wore it on a cruise and was still getting compliments on it even the next day!
If you're stuck between sizes (especially 14 and 16), size down, as the dress is boxier the bigger it gets. Definitely for the bustier gal as long as you are not modest! I'm a DDD and it draped perfectly.
