lots of compliments but awkward fit
I received a lot of compliments on this dress! However, I did not feel totally comfortable in it - you can wear a standard bra with this but there is an opening in the back that is about an inch too long so my bra was peeking through. The cut of the arm opening was also a little low, so again, part of my bra would show. The 2 front slits look fine if you're just standing but when you're sitting, there's this 8" wide piece of fabric that has a hard time finding a place to go. My biggest gripe about this dress is the length. I am 5'3" and although I rented a Small, I had to wear 6" wedges to keep the dress off the ground. I wish they made this dress in different lengths. Not everyone is a 5'10" model :/

Tons of compliments!
I wore this dress to dinner and received so many compliments! It has a lot of stretch to it and the different stripe directions would probably hide flaws (ie, stomach). I usually wear a size 6 but wore a 4 in this. One thing I did have to do though was use fashion tape to make the V neckline stay put. I'm a 34DD so it'd probably stay flat if you're smaller chested. I would definitely love to wear this dress again, I'm sad to send it back!

Love this dress!
Wore this dress to a summer barn wedding. It was perfect for the occasion, as the entire dress has a lace overlay. I especially love the frilly piece on the right shoulder. Dress is true to size and fit my large bust

Cute!
They look white in the model and customer photos, but it's more of cloudy milky white. They exactly matched a necklace I owned that appeared to have the same type of them.

I like that it was gold, I feel like it glammed up the dress I wore it with.

Too Large/Chunky/Heavy - Didn't End Up Wearing
I rented this to wear with the Lilly Pulitzer "Touch of Sugar" dress, since the dress model was wearing a large gold necklace and this was a recommended accessory. However, I did not end up wearing the necklace at all because it was so huge and chunky, and it definitely took away from the dress that I was planning to wear it with. It was just too much.

Great earrings but on the heavy side
I really like these earrings but they're really heavy so I didn't wear them.

Not a huge fan of this
This necklace has a vintage/antiqued look to it, which I don't particularly care for. But other than that, I like it, and I received compliments on it. Though I probably wouldn't rent it again.

Pretty, Not Jaw-Dropping
I really like this dress, even though it doesn't really have a "WOW" factor. It fit well, was short but not too short, and I did receive compliments on it. I was able to wear a strapless bra with it.

Got SO Many Compliments!
I LOVE this dress! The color is the perfect bright coral, and I love the cutouts on the side. I was able to wear a strapless bra without it showing through the cutouts. I received compliments all night on it! The dress is very tight, but it stretches. It's very VERY tight in the back though. I was able to fit in the 4, but it fit everywhere except my booty, so I ended up wearing a 6. Even the 6 was really tight in the booty too, but I felt like I would have busted the seams in the 4! I'm short so the 6 kind of bunched up around my torso, and hit closer to my knees than the 4. There was definitely no way I could have danced or moved much in the dress, so I only wore the dress to dinner and a show in Vegas. Regardless, I would definitely rent this dress again.

Runs REALLY Small
Based on the reviews, and that the only size available for my dates was a small, I decided that's what I would order. The small was more like an XXS. It was so tight I couldn't even zip the side zipper a few inches, so unfortunately I didn't get to wear the dress. The dress has no give to it whatsoever. I am not even sure a medium would have fit. If I were to order this dress again, I'd probably order a large.

Great Gatsby-esque
I wore this dress to a wedding that had a 1930s theme, it was perfect! Because of the sequins, the dress doesn't have much give to it but it was comfortable nonetheless. I got a lot of compliments on it!

Perfect dress for a cold date night!
I wore this dress on a date with my huband to dinner and the ballet. It was a cold night (20s) and this dress was perfect because the material is thick. It was snug but forgiving and comfortable. I would rent this dress again in other colors. Highly recommend!
