Perfection
Wore this for a local Pride event and could not have gotten more compliments. I must have been stopped 20 times throughout the night. Obviously it's short as all get out so a pair of bloomers goes a long way!

Perfect holiday dress
I wore this for my annual Christmas party and it was the perfect fun dress to play hostess in. Super comfortable, great shape and fit. I got a lot of compliments!

Bit too short for taller gals
I loved this dress but I'm just a hair under 5'10" and it was much too short for me to wear. I had hoped to wear it for a family holiday photo shoot and the length frankly would have made it borderline obscene for someone of my height. Couldn't be cuter for ladies that are a bit shorter though!

Perfect dress for our family photos
I ordered the 1R and 1L and didn't see a difference length wise between them. That saide, I'm 5'10" and this was skimming the floor for me in flats so it's got plenty of length! It's a completely open back and it felt like it might be a bit risky chest wise until I put it on and the weight of the dress definitely kept everything in place for me up top. Got a ton of compliments on the gorgeous colors!

Very cute, just not for pear shapes.
The dress doesn't have much give and was definitely made for a more narrow figure. I'm fairly pear shaped so the hip was tight but the bust was a bit loose on me. The large was a bit more comfortable but much looser on top making it a bit frumpy so I squeezed into the medium. I wasn't super comfy but I was okay with the look for an evening work photo shoot and dinner.

So comfortable and flattering
I am a wedding planner and was in the tricky position of being the planner AND guest of a friend so I had to find something that I could work in and be comfortable moving constantly in for several hours that also wouldn't look out of place on a guest at a black tie optional event. This fit the bill perfectly. It was long enough that I could move around and get things done without being inappropriate. formal enough for the event and relaxed enough that I was comfortable for the duration of the day. I got several compliments. Would definitely rent again!

I rented this dress for a photo shoot!
I really liked the dress. I'm fairly pear shaped so the large fit my hips better but was too large on top so I ended up going with the medium. I loved the look of the dress but there were a couple of cons, the fabric is much thicker than I would have anticipated and doesn't breathe so it may not be the best bet for an outdoor event, I got hot quickly. I also had issues sitting for a while since I opted for the smaller size since it's so narrow at the bottom. That's kind of on me but the main complaint I had about the bottom being so small and the fabric not having any give, was that I basically had to completely disrobe any time I needed to use the restroom. It was pretty and worked well for the shoot but I don't know that I'd rent again.

Cute but a weird detail
The dress fit well but there was some type of break in the lining at the top that kind of cut my chest in half. It was too high to be any type of a bra or top lining. It just created not the most flattering effect. I wish they'd brought that part of the lining lower or done away with it totally. It didn't seem necessary or functional.

Unfortunately had to change out of it.
I wish the lining of this dress wasn't so tight. The top definitely fit me fine but I'm rather pear shaped and looking at the flowiness of the bottom I didn't think that would be a problem but there's a slip underneath that's very form fitting (I don't know why) and kept riding up to the point where I couldn't keep wearing the dress and be comfortable.

Gorgeous gown
I got compliments all night and they're still rolling in as photos from the wedding are being released. I will say it was BARELY long enough for me in flats at 5'10. The dress itself didn't indicate that it was a long anywhere and when I hung it up to the other bridesmaids dresses that weren't longs and were from the same designer it was the same length. I don't know if this was ACTUALLY a long or not. If you're any taller than 5'10, I'd be wary of the length.

Awesome clip, the bendiness is perfect!
Great clip, I really loved how malleable it was, so it was easy to shape it to whatever hairstyle!

This dress was gorgeous but I couldn't wear it due to the fit
I'm hippy so I think this was a sizing mistake on my part. My sister in law did get to wear it though and it looked adorable one her!

Its the perfect bright, colorful dress for a summer party!
This dress fit pretty true to size. If I had to give it one con, I'd say that the boning starting to agitate me after a while but I was in it all day so that was bound to happen.

Everyone told me I looked fantastic! I loved the dress!
My friend actually rented this for herself but it isn't really the best option for someone pear shaped. I'm more narrow so I wore it out and loved it! Really comfy, very chic!

I got several compliments on this dress, especially after the New Year when photos went up on FB!
Loved this dress! It was very flowy and comfortable! Loved the sheen! It was a perfect length for me, I have to worry about a lot being too short.
