Great maternity option
Wore to a wedding at 28 weeks pregnant. Super comfortable, lots of stretch, easy to accessorize--loved. Usually between size 2 and 4 pre-pregnancy.

Such a great print
Great fabric and print for an early summer wedding! Got several compliments and felt great all night. Took off one star because I needed fashion tape for the front and had to be mindful throughout the evening to keep everything appropriate.

Great color, great dress!
The dress is so simple, but the color truly makes it! Simple stunner, fit like a glove.

Great Day-to-Evening Dress
I wore this dress to a wedding, which started with an afternoon ceremony in a garden and ended with a reception on the roof of a modern hotel - this dress seamlessly transitioned from one to the other. It was fitted in the bodice but not tight, and was the perfect midi length on me at 5'6". I was hoping to go bra-less, but couldn't because of the positioning of the nude colored portions of the print (though stick on petals probably would have solved that, too). That said, it was easy to wear a strapless bra with this. I loved this dress - super comfortable to wear, endlessly versatile to dress up/down.

Modern classic
Loved this dress - it was the perfect mix of modern and classic/classy. Fit true to size. I was worried about the arms/back potentially being too tight, but was able to move fine and dance the night away. Did not need to wear a bra.

Did not work for my shape
Sadly, the construction of this dress just didn't work with my shape - the chest and back areas did not fit right, and would gape or pull awkwardly in places depending on the size I put on. Both the 4 and the 6 technically fit, but neither looked good on me. I recommend looking at other reviewers' pictures and being honest about your own shape in comparison to avoid disappointment. The fabric was beautiful and the dress is nicely made, but didn't work for me.

Wanted to keep!
The dress was true to size, perfect blend of classy (maxi length, high-neck) and fun (gorgeous print, keyhole slit). I went without a bra, a bit of fashion tape is helpful just to prevent accidental gaps. It was super comfortable to wear and dance in. I was hoping to go with flats, but had to wear heels so the dress didn't drag on the ground too much - which did make me look long and lean though :) Gauge your sizing by waist and chest - those are definitely the most fitted parts of the dress. Would definitely rent again!

Classy & sexy
I loved this dress! It was the perfect blend between classy, simple, and sexy - and the color is gorgeous. I'm usually a pretty true size 6 in dresses. I had been working out more for my own wedding before this event so I was a little more trim and was able to wear the 4. It was body-skimming without being tight. It might be a tighter squeeze for very curvy girls; I'm pretty straight up and down, and the fabric has no stretch. The regular length was perfect with 3" heels. Would totally rent this again!

Great dress!
This dress was very comfortable. I'm usually a Size 6 in dresses (especially when they have sleeves), but was able to wear the backup Size 4. The only part that was oddly on the small side was the forearm opening above the ruffle, so I was unable to reach up and around to zip the dress up myself. The length was slightly longer on me than pictured on the model, I'm 5'6" and the ruffle hit about an inch or two above my knee. Would rent again!

beautiful dress!
As other reviewers have already said, this dress runs a bit large - I usually wear a size 6, but the size 4 was a better fit in this dress. It's a classic silhouette, but the little front cutout and the yellow print make it special. The fabric was extremely comfortable and is smoothing; I wore a bra without problem. Would rent again!

beautiful spring-time dress!
I wore this to a high tea themed bridal shower. The fit of the dress was TTS - the only complaint I have is that the armholes were a bit on the tighter side. The fabric is soft, and on the thicker side with neoprene-type feel, which made it easy to wear a bra with and was very flattering over all. The print is stunning, exactly as pictured. The length was good too, modest yet young, hitting me around mid-thigh. Recommend!

Beautiful!
Wore this to complete my outfit for my courthouse wedding - the color was gorgeous against my dark hair, and there was just enough sparkle. The earrings look exactly as pictured. They were easy to wear for the day - I was afraid that they would be too heavy, but they were not. Would rent again!

Courthouse Wedding
Wore this style for my civil ceremony at the courthouse. The fit was true to size, and the length was perfect for a skirt that hit exactly at my waist. The garment is very well made - the lace is beautiful in person, and I loved that you can see the lace where it extends past the bottom hem of the shirt.

Classic LBD with a twist
Wore this dress to a family wedding. The print was subtle but beautiful. The higher neckline, the high-low hem, and the sheer panels at the waist and back gave the dress just enough personality. Fabric was high quality. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the overall fit of the top was a bit off on me - while the waist and bust fit fine, the sheer back panel didn't lay flat on my back so I had this floating fabric bulging out. Not a big problem, but just a tad off of perfect. Would recommend!

Very flattering dress
I rented both the M and the S. The S fit everywhere except the hips/thighs, where it was tighter and more restrictive than I wanted it to be--and I don't consider myself a hippy person. The M had more overall ease while still being figure-skimming; the only complaint I have is that there was some extra fabric around the waist that I wish hadn't been there. The print is gorgeous and as pictured. The fit is very flattering: the thicker neoprene fabric helps accentuate curves in the right way, and the neckline and length (an inch or so above the knees for me) kept it classy. I got a ton of compliments!

gorgeous dress, super flattering
The dress is formfitting at the arms, bust, and waist, which also makes it very flattering--it keeps everything in and accentuates all the best parts! I wasn't able to (and frankly didn't need to) wear a bra, so I would recommend sizing up for a backup size. The length was perfect, hit about mid-thigh and showed just enough leg. Make sure to remove your dress ahead of time to flatten/re-shape the layers of tulle at the bottom, which tend to get smushed in shipping. I also hung it in the bathroom after a shower so the steam could help as well. Overall this dress was amazing, wish I could have kept it!

great dress, stunning colors!
This dress was exactly as pictured! Beautiful colors. Fit was really flattering, it holds everything in and you don't need a bra. I wore 3" platform heels and the dress just skimmed the floor, so it's definitely on the longer end. I got compliments on it all night, wish I could have kept it!
