Runs very large, and fabric is not very flattering. Wish it was more glamorous in person.
This dress looks sophisticated in the photo but in person is shapeless and not flattering. Also, it runs very big. Luckily it was a backup rental; had it been the primary dress, it would have been disappointing.

Great dress for a wedding!
Good fit, true to size, and nice details, including the back, which makes the dress fun. If you are concerned about length, rent the larger size (or at least try it), though I thought the length was not too short. The only downside is that because the neckline is high and lace, you have to choose your necklace carefully. But this is a minor quibble for a dress that fits well, hides flaws, is flattering, and very easy to wear whatever your size. I have actually rented it twice!

Runs very large
Just a warning that this dress runs very large. I found the fit to be oversize--a lot of space in the bust and waist, which normally would be good, but here seemed stretched out and ill-fitting. I wound up wearing the backup dress I rented instead.

Great Statement Necklace!
A really great necklace to wear as a wow accent for a special event. Note that the necklace is a bit heavy and does not always sit straight, but it looks really great and adds a formal, funky look to an outfit.

Great dress for a formal occasion since it is easy to wear and flattering.
I found the 8R to be short (I'm 5'8") and wish I had rented the 8L instead, since even with very low heels the hem was not long enough. Great color and the dress was easy to wear and enjoy. Flattering fit and true to size. The back zipper on my dress did not sit flat at first but stayed put all night. Really easy pick for a fun night.

Fabulous dress and so flattering!
This is a spectacular dress for a special event. The dress is elegant, fun without being flashy, and really fun to wear. The fit of the dress is great--it fits curves in all the right places but isn't confining or too tight. The dress itself is a little bit heavy at first, so be warned that it will take a couple of minutes to get used to it, but that certainly does not interfere with wearing the dress (although one hanger was broken when I opened my garment bag based on the hanging weight of the dress during delivery). I am 5'8" and wore the dress with very low heels (about 2.5 inches) and needed the Long version of the dress to get the right line. The Regular length stopped before my shoes/feet and did not look quite right to me. However, the longer length did mean there was a small amount of fabric on the floor, almost a mini train. I did not think this was a problem but keep this in mind when renting. The dress itself is very comfortable and the lining prevents any itching or rubbing from the sequins. I would absolutely rent it again and loved wearing it. I highly recommend this dress--it's a winner.
