So many compliments and fit very well!
Loved this dress! The color was stunning and I got so many compliments! The length hit right below my knees, so I wore with wedges for a more summery vibe (it was 90° in TN!) I rented the 6 and 8 and wore the 6. I ended up using a stick on bra to avoid having bra bulge on my back; but depending on how well endowed you are, you may be able to pull off no bra. A strapless bra would have worked also!

Pretty dress for black tie wedding
Dress but mid shin on my 5'4" mom. She did have trouble zipping it where the material meets but made it work.

Material hard to zip and move shoulders
Rented this for my mom to wear for a black tie wedding. Even the larger size she couldn't zip and be comfortable. The material where the top and bottom of dress meets makes it very hard to zip up. Shoulder area also was impossible to lift arms due to sleeves. Pretty dress but wouldn't recommend unless you are not planning to move much.

Plain yet elegant dress
Wore for a gala event and was formal enough among others in long sequin gowns. From the front it is pretty plain but the high low cut of the dress is beautiful with nice heels. The back has a mesh type detail that pretty and makes the dress more formal and not just a plain LBD. I was able to wear a normal bra. I wore nude so you can see the detail of the back still. I actually purchased this during a sale and am glad to have in my closet forever because I see it getting use over the years!

Great Lengths Dress

Beautiful gown but side zipper was hard to zip even with help
I didn't end up wearing this gown, although it was beautiful. This dress has a side zipper and even with my husband helping, it kept getting stuck on the seam change, so I never fully zipped it the remaining 3 inches to my armpit. Maybe my chest was too large? The zipper is very small and left an indent in my husbands finger trying to pull it up! I am 5'7" and would have worn heels due to the length of the back of the dress. I ended up ordered a back up dress that was amazing.

Heavy material, no flexibility
I ordered this as a backup because I was worried I would be too cold in my original dress so ordered this as a second option because of the long sleeves. I didn't end up wearing it. This dress is very elegant and material rather heavy. Because it is long sleeve and a non stretchy material, know that it will be hard to raise your arms up (ie to slow dance with your significant other!) I ordered the 4L which fit great. I am 5'7" and with heels the length was perfect. I you want to wear flats I would think the 4R would be fine!

Received so many compliments
I ended up having to size up to the 6 because the 4 was tight around my rib cage/chest and the style of the dress already pushes the boobs up a bit, having it too tight would emphasize that more! The dress was beautiful with the high low style. I wore it to a fall wedding that was outside so I opted to wear black tights with black shoes, though if it was warmer I would have closed nude heels instead. I received so many compliments on the dress!

Beautiful w/ classy cutout
This dress fit me perfectly until I gorged on food in Paris and then had a wedding... but it was still wearable! Since there is a cut out on the side, you cannot wear spanx, but CAN wear a normal bra, which is a positive! I am 5'7" and was able to wear heels without a problem. The color is beautiful and compliments most skin tones! If you don't mind sucking in your stomach for the day, this dress is worth it! I got so many compliments :)

Perfect for Paris!
I bought this dress to stand out in our photos in front of the Eiffel Tower, and it did not disappoint. The dress has a completely open back and shows side boob, so beware! I wore pasteys and had my hair down to tame to side boob effect but it was still stunning! The dress was long enough for my 5'7" self to wear heels. Love this dress and received so many compliments on the color for our photos!

Wore this for a NYE Ball, and it definitely was the style I was looking for.
Loved the dress on the hanger, but even after ordering a long, I still couldn’t wear heels. I’m only 5’7” and I called to ask if I received the wrong dress and was told sometimes they have to alter the hem if it gets damanged and maybe that’s the case? Both the 4 and 6 I ordered were short on me. I’ve rented other dresses that were the same brand and didn’t have this issue... so beware if you are tall!

I had strangers walk up to me on the dance floor saying I had the best dress at the wedding!
This dress is made of a heavier material, so perfect for a late summer wedding! It's lined well, so if you are smaller chested you don't need a bra, though I was more comfortable with a stick on underneath. It is definitely one of a kind and you won't be wearing something similar to anyone else! I had strangers at the wedding I attended coming up to me saying I had the best dress of the night! Wish I could keep it! Only complaint was that the material where is is sewn together made it hard to zip. My husband had to literally squeeze the material together while I pulled up the zipper. I ended up bringing both sizes with me incase I couldn't get the one size on. It ended up working out... but I was prepared to wear he larger size (which was slightly too big but would have worked if needed)!

If you're over 5'6 and wearing heels- get the LONG!
This dress was gorgeous! I got so many compliments at the NYE gala we attended! Even though it is entirely covered in sequins, it's not too crazy because the black and emerald are not over the top. There is a liner under the sequins and actually a black fabric under the armpit area as well so no scratchy sequins ruining your night! This dress is amazing and looked fabulous!
