I had been looking for a dress that felt formal enough to match the "formal" dress code for a wedding, but one that felt a bit more fun/summer-y than traditional long gowns (wedding was outside, on a lake). I legitimately tried/returned 10 other dresses from online stores/department stores, and decided to rent this dress in a panic 2 days before I was set to leave. THANK GOODNESS! This dress fit well (in formalwear I usually wear a 2), and was really comfortable. I could wear my regular bra, and the fabric/draping and lining were great, so I didn't feel like I had to have spanx, etc. I was unsure about the print when I ordered, but it's fun in person, and I felt like the dress stood out (in the right way/not overly so). I wore a brightly colored heel and beaded red/gold earrings to pick up from the print).

Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of myself -- image is the dress I wore from Anthropologie. Wore this outfit to a pretty casual rehearsal dinner (groom was in jeans and a dress top). The October evening was a bit rainy and just cool enough that I'm glad I had it. I really loved the jacket with the dress! It was a perfect way of dressing down the dress a bit, and making it feel fall appropriate. Wore it with thin gold hoops. The color picked up similar colors in the dress perfectly. The sleeve openings are bit tight (I believe other reviewers have mentioned), but not uncomfortable to wear. The jacket itself looked really nice and high quality, and the color was lovely.
