Cute, doesn't wrinkle, and could work for a wide range of events!
I wasn't sure I would like the length of this dress on me, but it was excellent! The small fit slightly large along the zipper seam in the back, but I still opted to go with the small rather than the xs because the tighter fit showed a bit too much detail in the undergarments I had (and I didn't plan ahead enough to have underwear alternatives!) Aside from those issues, I loved this dress and would rent it again!

Tight squeeze!!
This dress was sent to me as a backup after the other dress I picked in a size 0 was returned in poor condition. I was excited about trying it since it seemed like such a special dress, but unfortunately I couldn't even zip it over my hips! I'm usually a size 0 or 2 in us sizes and have no butt to speak of, so even if something is too tight, it's rare that I can't actually squeeze into it! The feather and bead detailing is beautiful though and bonus star for it having a pocket! But make sure to order up at least one size if not more.

asymmetrical and artsy
I wore this dress to my photography showcase and to film my media kit. It was artsy and cocktail appropriate, but not too formal. I would probably err on sizing up because the under-slip is on the tight and short side. The dress was comfortable and easy to move in and had the benefit of being able to wear a normal bra underneath. My one complaint is that it photographed awkwardly from the front and on the left side, and made me look pregnant-ish. Didn't come off that way in person, but probably wouldn't choose it again for an event where I'm on stage again or being photographed from angles I can't control. Paired nicely with high heel booties!

Perfect with my RTR orange and blue dress!
These earrings add a perfect touch of color to an outfit and really make blue eyes "pop!" They are slightly larger than I expected, but I didn't think they were too heavy. I certainly didn't feel like they pulled on my ears like some larger earrings do. There is a bit more of a "stone" quality (striations and flecks) to the large blue stone than I thought from the picture.

Lovely print!
This dress felt pretty true to size, though it was a tighter in the hips and bust and a bit looser in the waist. I originally wanted the other similar Helmut Lang dress since it was a bit edgier, but it wasn't available so I went with this one. It was a pretty dress, but not as much of a "wow" dress as I had hoped. Neither the length nor neckline was scandalous, so I thought it transitioned well from church wedding to reception and after party. It is comfortable to wear and easy to dance/move in.

A vibrant and unique party dress!
This is a really cute and fun dress - though not what I was expecting! The dress is basically like a wetsuit--I didn't read the details closely and missed that it was neoprene! Along with the material, the zipper and stitching really are reminiscent of putting on a scuba wetsuit. Although that description might seem like a poor choice for a wedding rehearsal dinner, I was very happy with it. As one might imagine, the neoprene fits snugly. I usually wear a size 0 or 2, but went with the size 4 on this one. The smaller size fit okay, but it was a bit too "glove-like," so I would definitely recommend ordering the backup a size up. One added bonus is that it doesn't wrinkle at all, so if you need to pack it in a suitcase, you can be confident that it will be ready to go when you unpack, even if your suitcase takes a beating
