No accessories needed. Beautiful as is!
This dress received SO many compliments! Any time I am surprised by getting to wear the smaller of two dress sizes, that's a good day. I ordered the size 4 and size 2 in this dress, as I'm usually a size 4. However, glad I ordered both sizes, as I actually ended up wearing the size 2, which was still VERY comfortable yet much more flattering than the four. The dress is not overly tight, but is form fitting. The details are beautiful on the dress, and really didn't require anything else to be added. I wore a simple pearl bracelet and earrings, but a necklace was completely unnecessary. Due to it being a colder day, I wore black pantyhose, but could be a nice spring dress with lighter heels and no pantyhose. LOVED the dress!

I felt sparkly in every possible way!
To be honest, this is a dress that grew on me throughout the evening. I wasn't immediately in love with the dress, but had rented it to go to NYE dinner with my fiance, and didn't want to waste the rental. The fit is a bit odd, as the small fit me well overall, but not as tightly in the midsection as the model shows, and I found it to be pretty tight in the arm area. This didn't bother me as the night continued; rather, I adjusted to any "weird feelings" with the dress and liked it more and more as the evening continued. The fabric is thick, which is really nice in colder temperatures but may cause issues mid-summer, and it's flashy without screaming "look at me!". I received compliments from random strangers all night long, despite being seated for most of the evening. By the end of the evening, I felt like it was a great pick, and felt SO pretty.

Great shape, fit and colors!
This dress was perfect for a wedding in Mexico (or any wedding, for that matter). The dress has pockets, which is always a great bonus, and an overall excellent shape and fit. It likely would fit someone a bit better if they were a bit smaller in the chest, as I fit into the size 2 except for the chest area, so opted for the 4. I paired this dress with a belt, but could pair nicely on its own. Really fun, yet classy, dress!

What great colors for some POP!
This was such a fun dress to wear to a wedding. I ALWAYS have trouble deciding what to wear to weddings, as I don't want to feel out of place, but this was great! I ordered the small and medium, and ended up wearing the medium because my boobs were flattened like pancakes in the small. I had a bit more wiggle room in the medium (important to me!) and also paired with a belt and strappy black shoes. The dress fabric doesn't have MUCH give, but I wasn't uncomfortable at all. Yet another great piece!

I felt SO pretty!
This was the perfect dress for our engagement shoot. Pretty with the lace, but still a lovely shaped dress for engagement photos on the classier/ more classic side. The lace layer DEFINITELY needs to be ironed to smooth out the dress bottom, so that the blue skirt does not hang longer, but otherwise perfect! At 5'6" this dress was a nice length. Glad it was not too long, being on the slightly shorter side, but for someone much taller could be borderline too short.

The simple, yet beautiful detail of this dress really stands out!
First, I think it's important to stress that this dress is surprisingly comfortable. While it's fitted at the waist with a LITTLE less movement due to the fabric details there, it's still very comfortable and the skirt stretches in a way that allows you to move. The shoulder and waist detail is sparkly, but subtle enough that I could get away with it at an evening work event if I wanted to. The dress length on my 5'6" frame still gives me a few inches above my knee, being not too short, but also not too long. I really love this dress!

I LOVED this dress. I wore it dress to a casual family wedding and felt beautiful, but not overdone
The fit was great. I rented a 4 and a 6, as I generally teeter between the two sizes and would be wearing this dress after a week on vacation. I ended up in the 4, and it fit great! The details were beautiful, yet simple, and the dress had pockets! The length of the dress was also great for me at 5'6", as I wanted something short, but not too short. Generally, the dresses that look borderline short on the models fit me well in terms of length! I LOVED this dress and would recommend it to anyone.

This was a great dress. Sexy, but still conservative with the length. Nice fit!
The fit was tight, yet conservative with the length. I was a bit worried about my cleavage hanging out, as it's a low cut dress and I was at a family wedding, but all worked out. I wish the dress had been a BIT shorter but was pleased with the dress, overall. It was a great dress for a cold November wedding in Indiana!

New Year's Eve!
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to wear this rental, as I ordered a size 6 and 8 (and normally wear size 4 or 6) and couldn't fit into either. The dress was SUPER cute, but I would have broken a zipper, or split the seam, had I worn the dress out for NYE. I would have given this a five star, had I been able to fit into it. Better luck next time!

I really loved this dress, but will admit I was a little nervous to be wearing it at first. You need to be really comfortable in your body to wear this dress, as it has a very low back (the bottom basically makes a high-fitting skirt, but looks AMAZING on) and you need to go braless or wear the right dress. Definitely take advantage of the second dress option, as I was torn between sized and went for the smaller, as there is more fabric up top then I expected. OVERALL, I LOVED the dress, got a ton of compliments, and was SO happy that I finally rented the dress. It's sassy, but also conservative enough that i could wear it to a gala at a Museum.
