Solid dress!
The pictures don't do the fabric justice. There is gold tinsel threading throughout that really dresses it up and makes it feel fancy. There was a tie under the bust I wasn't sure what to do with. Loved this for my brothers wedding

Love this dress!
Wore to a shower. A little loose in the waist. I loved the material, shoulders, and print. I wished I had purchased!!

Runs large
Because it runs large the straps on the sleeves didn't sit flat and the waist flared out. Was not flattering

Second time renting!
Wore this to a baby shower and wedding shower. Perfect for spring when it's still a little chilly but you want a floral pattern. Dress runs a bit loose (I often wear 1x) and this 16 had some give. Dress is short on me. Love the pockets!!

Peekaboo Bra
Shirt shorter in bodice than I realized. Cinched me below waist and then fell above top of high rise Jean's. Be aware, the material behind the buttons is super "floppy" and therefore constantly folds back. This causes a gap between buttons allowing your bra to show through. Due to fabric, a pin or fabric tape would not work. My bra was clearly on display the whole time. Note: I am large chested. I didnt mind the reveal, but depends on where you are going.

Perfect for Black-Tie Wedding
Dress was true to size. Material was thick, so definitely made up for form fitting nature of the dress. Straps were a smidge loose, but this could be attributed to potentially being stretched out? I just had to keep an eye on my bra not showing in the front. Tap would have been perfect for this, but I didn't think of it until it was too late. The Long was def. the right way to go (I'm 5'10"). Sadly, I did not get as many compliments as I had hoped (wth!). But, I felt good in the dress and felt like it was a departure from my usual style. Definitely worth renting.

Rented for Rehearsal Dinner
Other reviewers are spot on - dress is definitively more gray/silver than white. In fact, it is not white at all. It has really interesting details along the arm hole and hem. I ended up not wearing the dress because the empire waist in a 12 cut across my boobs, not under them. I am traditionally a solid 12, so be careful if you have a larger chest.

Woah small!
Wow this dress ran small. Dress was made up I a few tones of sequin, so it was very pretty. There isn't too much to even say about it besides how tight it was. Do not rent if you have a large bust. Dress does not have a large zipper or any stretch, I had to be yanked out of it.

Family holiday party
Conservative dress good for a holiday family party. Dress was sent to me as a backup for something else. Darts at stomach could draw attention to midsection, but a pair of stockings should smooth that out

Not good for big bust
Very beautiful dress. Nice length, fabric sexy yet classy. Unfortunately the dress was a bit tight in the bust. I could have worn it but my chest looked smushed and I was worried I would tear the back I the strap if I move my arms too far. Definitely a good dress for someone with a smaller chest.

Too tangled to wear
The rectangles kept flipping over and in order to fix it, you had to attempt to untangle the whole necklace. It was such a nuisance with the pieces flipping over and tangling that I couldn't even wear it. booo

Thin and clingy
Fabric was much more thin than I anticipated. So, the dress fit, but I had a horrible underwear line in the back...no undergarment could have helped this one. As others stated, I also was not entirely sure how to re-wrap the dress. For me, it looked best tied to the side, but - I couldn't even wear the dress. Miss here.

Complaints...and compliments
Ordered the 14 & 12, they were all too big. Got the 10 overnighted - had a really hard time zippering, although it was the correct size. The big problem - it is really loose in the bust. This is unsual for me because I have a pretty large bust size, so I am not use to dresses sagging open in that area. I had to use two pieces of double stick tape and a safety pin to close the chest up enough. Beyond the zipper difficulties and baggy bust, many people complimented the dress and it seemed to have photographed well.

Very photogenic!
Bracelets were lighter than expected, but very sparkly and showed up nicely in photos. For some reason, I could not get them on my right hand? I never thought I had large hands, but if you do --- something to keep in mind?

Almost lovely
The sizing was really odd here. The 10 seemed larger than the 12 and the 12 did not have a tag inside the dress. So, I wore a 12...but I could have gone down a size. The dress is silk and felt beautiful. The middle piece was a little short when standing, but straightened out when I was seated. I wish I had the dress in a smaller size, I would have liked to have seen the dress tighter in the waist. Everyone complimented the dress, I just don't know that it looked great in photos.

Hefty Statement Piece
I liked the necklace a lot. It was heavier and thicker than I had anticipated. The main problem was it would occasionally flip over, especially towards the top. It was nice, but I wouldn't wear it again.

Tall with large bust....perfect!
Dress fit well in the bust, even with my large chest. Length on dress was good when standing, but caused some trouble when sitting. There is an inside nude lining of the dress that obviously does not have any "give" to it. For this reason, when I sat down the dress rode up pretty high. Overall, I would certainly have worn this dress again. I received many compliments and it certainly photographed well!
