Flattering and subtly sexy
I absolutely LOVED wearing this dress! The OTS style and side slit are super sexy, but the knee-length hem keeps it from being too risque. Very stretchy fabric that is still pretty thick, so actually pulls you in a bit (no need for SPANX!). I tried the 4 first and could have worn it, but the 2 fit a little better through the top (I'm a true pear shape) and the skirt was stretchy enough that it worked perfectly. Very easy to move in - we were at a big Italian wedding with LOTS of dancing and I never felt uncomfortable. Got tons of compliments all night. 100 percent recommend!

Perfect on-trend casual dress!
I wore this to my bridal shower and it was absolutely perfect. So comfortable and cute! The fabric is thick and not cheap feeling at all. Definite order a smaller size as your back up - I'm normally a solid 4 and the XS fit great. One word of caution, though - the fabric is heavier than it looks so be careful if wearing outside in the summer. Granted I wore this in Texas in July so that may have been part of the issue :)

Sexy and simple
I absolutely loved this dress! Wore it for a gala and it was perfect. So elegant and chic, it's a great dress for anyone who doesn't like doing the flashy glittery thing for formal events. Only issue was there was a ripped seam on the zipper right at my butt - wasn't really noticeable since the under fabric is black too, but I was definitely self conscious about it. Also, it's SUPER heavy so wouldn't recommend for a summer event - you'll be sweating! My event was in February and I even found it a little too hot.

So flattering!
I LOVED this dress. I wore it to a NYE party and got a ton of compliments. The black paneling on the sides makes your waist look teeny tiny and is incredibly flattering. The only thing I didn't like about it is that it has VERY little stretch. I wore the 2 because it fit and was a little sexier looking than the 4 (considering it was NYE, I felt like I could get away with it), but the 4 would have been a better fit for a more subdued event.

Super cute dress - perfect for a holiday or NYE party!
I LOVED this dress. It hugged me in all the right places, but the material was nice and stretchy and never felt uncomfortable. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is because of the quality of the dress I got. There were several rips in the material when it arrived in the mail, and I was self-conscious about them all night. Otherwise, this would have been perfect!

Cute and modest, but really big!
I wore this to a charity event holiday party. It was definitely a little more modest than I had hoped - my legs aren't as long as the model's so the hemline was a little closer to my knees than I would have liked. It also rand very big. I wore the 2 (my smaller size) and it was still a little baggy. I definitely could have gone for a 0.

Cute dress, but had its drawbacks.
I wore this to a work holiday party. Overall, it was really cute and I definitely got compliments. I liked that the cut-outs and fitted skirt gave it a subtle sexiness, while the long sleeves still kept it modest. I rented a 2 and a 4, but opted for the 2 for a slightly tighter look. Either would have worked though. However, it did feel a little awkward for several reasons: 1) the neckline is EXTREMELY low cut. I felt like I was tugging it up all night. Not a major problem for me because I don't really have boobs, but definitely something to think about if you're a little more endowed. 2) The seam in the skirt didn't want to lie flat, meaning that I was constantly readjusting it (it also made my hips look wider than they are - not okay!). Overall, I was satisfied with the rental, but probably wouldn't rent again.
