Beautiful and fun dress

Loved wearing this dress to my vow renewal in Vegas with Elvis. Lightweight and comfortable and photographs well. Lots of compliments. Order sizing by your bust/rib cage as the skirt is extremely full - I am pear shaped and would normally wear a 14, but the 12 fit my chest better.

Very cute and flattering for a casual event

Great cut and very flattering for a casual event or even around town. It does draw attention to the bust (but I am a 36D) and it nicely minimizes hips (I am very pear shaped). I would normally order the XL or 14 and although the Large fit me, it is clingier to the hips and booty instead of flowy as was intended. Still looks good, but if I had a choice, I would prefer it more flowy. If you are straighter through the hips you could probably size down. Material isn't exactly sheer but you do need nude undergarments or they will show through because it is very thin.

Beautiful details, a little frumpy for my body type

Overall I didn't like the dress on my body type (looked thicker and frumpier than usual) though the dress was beautiful. I usually wear a 14 and this one was a little snug and a little short (but I am 6' tall) so I would have to size up. The slip under the white layer barely covered my crotch which again was probably a height issue. I loved the details and the material though.

Beautiful dress, not good for pear shape

Beautiful sunny buttery yellow material with a great drape quality. The top part fit well and would be flattering for most figures. The bottom was too clingy for my pear shape but looked like it would work for any other shape. The material was sheer so you would need nude undergarments. The material also showed off every detail of your shape underneath, so if that is a concern, be prepared with some kind of shaper.

Awkward fit for large chest

Cute overall design but was awkward on. Maybe not great for a larger chest (36D), the fit under the bust combined with the stripes made body appear crooked or lopsided and just awkward. Plenty of room in hips while still fitted at waist. Material wrinkles easily.

Amazing colors, beautiful fabric, and flattering drape

This was the most flattering dress I have tried on with gorgeous fabric and colors that got a lot of compliments. I am 6'1" with 38" inseam and the long was truly to the floor and I had to be careful with stairs. Cut would be flattering to many issues, it minimizes hips, hides baby belly, and covers upper arm pit/above bra skin. I wore it to an evening baby shower and didn't feel too overdressed but it would definitely be appropriate for a more formal event like a wedding.

Wouldn't recommend for pear shape

Was more formal than expected but very pretty. No give in the hip so I wouldn't recommend it for a true pear shape. I was afraid it would rip a seam if I sat down so I went with my back up dress.

I won best costume and heard lots of people comment that I really went all out!

This dress was a hit at my roller disco birthday party! The fabric, cut, and movement were fantastic. I am naturally more curvy than the shown models, and I had just had a baby 2 months prior, and the cut was still very flattering. Getting 2 sizes delivered was an option that sold me on trying the Rent the Runway process in my situation, and I was so happy to have a beautiful option for my birthday.
