Comfy and gorgeous dress for work event
Loved this dress for a formal work party. It's comfortable and stylish. Bonus points for being able to wear a regular bra with it. Highly recommend!

Runs Small, Size Up and Up!
This dress was way too tight in size 8, although I usually wear a size 6 or 8 dress, so I was trying my bigger size already. If I really wanted to wear this dress, I would try a 10. But also, the very high back slit will probably prevent me from trying it again. Too bad, as I do love the print and overall look.

Too sparkly
Note- this purse is very sparkly. I chose not to take it to my event because it felt too flashy/formal for a casual party. I hadn't realized from the pictures how bright it would be.

I felt great in this dress!
This dress material is sretchy enough to fit nicely, and it was easy to dance in. Flattering cut of the dress hides little tummy issues (spanx help, too). I would rent this one again.

flattering and fun to wear
I wore the size-up in this dress to an evening party. It was comfortable and flattering (but needed spanx to smooth out my mom-tummy). Casual elegance, cute skirt, fun to wear!

too big for my small wrists, returned without wearing,
I have narrow wrists, this just didn't work. Heavy and on the verge of falling off, returned without wearing it.

tight and clingy, returned without wearing
Even the size up option was too tight. If I'd gone 2 sizes up, maybe it might have worked. I wanted to love this dress, the material is gorgeous, but it was too inflexible and had a lot of static cling as well.

Unflattering for tummy, matronly?
I rented this for a wedding shower, but it was very tight and hugged my mom-tummy in an unflattering way (even with Spanx). I loved this dress in the pictures, but when I put it on, it felt matronly, and it and like it would be hot and uncomfortable for an afternoon outdoor wedding shower event. Wish I had loved it, but it didn't work.
