Showstopper! Bold color! Eye-catching design! The most flattering dress I've worn!
This dress fit like it was painted on my body. Usually this would be unflattering, but somehow this dress is MORE flattering the more form fitting it is. I do have a small waist, but something about the way this dress was designed naturally sucked me in even more to create an extra feminine and sultry sensual hour glass look. Even though I have a larger chest, the dress was tight enough to place the "girls" where they needed to be without a bra. I was afraid the 0L was going to be too long because I am only 5'4, but with 4 inch heels, the train only fell a couple of elegant inches behind me on the floor. I had no issues sitting, walking, or dancing. I can't count how many times I was stopped and how many compliments I received in this gown! I would rent again in a heartbeat!

Form-fitting and flashy!
The only reason I am giving this dress 4 stars is because the sequins made the underarms very scratchy. However, I received so many compliments from both friends and strangers on this rental. I did not have to wear a bra despite the low plunge neckline, the length was short but still appropriate for dinner, and the variation of metal colors in the sequins allowed me the option of gold, rose gold, black, or silver jewelry (I went with rose gold!). I felt a lot of heads turning as I walked down the Vegas strip in this dress!

Beautiful and fit my small wrist!
Beautiful gold/silver mixture that also stayed on my wrist all night! I've had issues in the past with rental bracelets being too large and constantly falling off my wrist, but this one was great!

Great shape, size up for long legs
Loved the overall style and shape, however, I had to size up so the length was okay for heels. I agree with other reviews in that the arms are somewhat reatrictive, but it did not interfere with my dancing.

Very unique! Very classy!
Loved the style of this dress! I was told I was "best dressed" at the wedding. My only complaint is that the lining along the front lower abdomen of the dress made an unnatural "poof". I have a slim waistline and flat abdomen, but unfortunately the seams on bilateral sides of the abdomen of the dress made my lower abdomen look like it was protruding! Other than that very picky critique, the dress was a show stopper.

Amazing shape, gorgeous fabric, and beautiful print!
Although I would consider myself a "straight and narrow" body type with a fuller bust, I had to size up for this dress. The 0 fit well, however, the chest did not have much give and it was slightly uncomfortable. The 0 fit better through my hips and bum, but I ultimately went with the 2 to accommodate my bust. The fit of the dress is amazing! It was a complete head turner. The bride herself was in love with this dress! The salsa dancer/ feminine flare is truly stunning. The material was thick so no bra was needed even with a full bust I felt well-supported. I am only 5'4", so I did wear a higher heel because the drama of this dress can be a lot to carry if you are more on the petite side. However, the movement was fantastic, it was fun to dance in, and it was definitely a memorable look! IN LOVE WITH THIS DRESS!

Beautiful tear drop earrings!
I paired this earrings with a mint dress rental and was very pleased. They have a vintage look and have a beautiful sparkle. I would rent again!

Unique color and unique design!
This dress fit like a glove! The fabric flared on the right hip gave the illusion that my waist was smaller. The fabric was lined thick enough that I did not have to wear a bra (I usually have to wear bras with EVERYTHING). I received tons of compliments. I paired the dress with antiqued silver jewelry and shoes. Very pleased with the quality of dress for such an inexpensive cost! I would rent again!

Head turner! Very flattering on the waist and so comfortable and easy to wear all night!
I read reviews that the cut of the neckline was revealing, but I disagree. I was able to wear regular undergarments without feeling exposed. The waist was very flattering and made my "straight and narrow" build look curvier than normal (which was very sexy but tasteful!). Legs fit comfortably and length was just right for ankle booties. Loved it and may rent it again!

Head turner! The bold red and sassy style made an impression!
Very comfortable-- had to wear the smaller size so I wouldn't be pulling up the jumpsuit all night.

"Something borrowed"
I used this hair comb as my "something borrowed" for my wedding. It added the little sparkle I needed for my updo. Loved it!

This dress was more form fitting than in the photo on the model, but I was pleasantly surprised!
This gold sequin pattern was extremely flattering. The dress had some sex appeal, but still very tasteful and classy. It was definitely a head turner and got so many compliments! I'd rent it again!

This design is very figure flattering! Good dress to wear in fall weather or winter.
I had to wear leggings underneath of this dress because the length is quite short. I wore the dress with heels, but I am only 5'4", and thought it would have been borderline inappropriate at the wedding reception had I not worn the leggings.

Great figure flattering leggy dress! The color was nice and vibrant with good durable fabric.
Fit was perfect. However, would recommend sizing up if you carry more weight in your lower half because the dress was a pretty straight and narrow cut.

Very comfortable and very figure flattering. It had great movement and lots of sparkle!
The only con to this dress was that the sequins underneath the arms kept getting caught on my hair. If you have long hair I would consider wearing your hair up with this dress.
