I was really worried this dress wouldn't fit, I normally go for an A-Line style.  The fabric is stretchy enough, and extremely flattering!  I wore the size 4 to dinner in Vegas, and felt great!!  I wish I could own this dress.

Fit was very comfortable, although I can see how for women with a larger bust, this dress may pose some slipping/"sideboob" issues. I wound up wearing a sticky bra and didn't have any major issues! The material was of great weight and quality, and the color was gorgeous. The open back is sexy but classy and interesting, and I really enjoyed wearing it! I paired it with minimal black and gold jewelry, since the neckline is so different.

Loved this dress! It ran a little bigger than expected but made me feel great!

Dress fits true to size and is very comfortable. I didn't wear a bra, but it turned out just fine.

The dress is a beautiful color but the cut of the sides left me a bit worried. There was a lot of "sideboob" but I did not have to use tape. Overall an nice dress, fun for a NYE party but probably would not rent again. 

I ended up not wearing a bra at all because the adhesive part of the braza bra was visible on one side! It worked well even when dancing but may be more problematic for women with larger breasts. I receive many compliments and my boyfriend really liked it. It was nice to wear something a bit more daring for NYE! 

They didn't have my back-up size, and the 4 ended up being too loose, so I didn't wear this dress.  But I will order it again in the 2!!  The back was SO sexy, and it was very comfortable!

The color in my picture and on the model doesn't give the dress justice. It's an awesome super saturated wine red purple. 

For the fit: it's short and sexy and maybe better for a Vegas night out than a wedding but I was in Jersey for this wedding so it fit with the style of the event. I also needed fashion tape to keep myself in since the strap was a little long for my frame. 

Looked great with gold jewelery and neutral shoes. 

The top was large, and I felt myself constantly readjusting it. But the back was sexy and I did like the rest of the dress, just wish it was smaller and tighter overall. 

The dress was super comfy and was a perfect fit. I recommend and you don't need a bra if you are small chested. 

I really liked this dress! I ordered it as a backup for another dress that was to be for the main night out on this Bachelorette Party Weekend. The other dress ended up being a better color (theme was pink, and this was clearly more maroon) and fit better, but this was a great dress for the next night out - glad I got to use it! The fit is true to size, but it does shift around a lot (beware of potential side boob!) and wasn't very supportive. Also, the material was much different than I thought it would be... more of a cotton/cloth and looked a bit worn. Not too bad though. Loved the unique back!! I would recommend for girls with small tops that don't need much support.

Runs a little large. I'm usually a 2 or 4 and I went with the 2. The fabric is a little more casual/cotton-y than I expected. But the color is beautiful and can easily be dressed up with the right accessories. The fit is slimming and the back is so sexy! Wore a sticky bra and it worked out fine. Although I can definitely see potential side boob issues for girls with bigger busts! 

The dress runs a bit large especially in the top so I wore the size 2. The dress was fine and looked good on but the quality and material was not as nice as I had expected. 

It is a nice dress but it was not as sexy as I thought it would be.  The dress is a cotton blend so it is comfy but not super sexy.  I wore it to a night club in Vegas.  I did not wear a bra

The burgundy wine color and rich material of this dress is to die for! Loved it! 

Gorgeous, easy to wear and sexy, sexy, sexy... I was so busy having fun I forgot to get a picture. I want to buy this dress!

I wore this dress to a charity fashion show and was a bit nervous about keeping it in place. I was not able to wear a bra, so I used fashion type to prevent any issues on the side of the dress. It was such a hit, its interesting from the front, and flashy from the back. I had people coming up to me all night saying "wow, I didnt see the back before when we were chatting, what a great dress." Because of my height, it hit at the knee, which was nice to cover some leg given how much back was showing. 

A little generous around the waist. Tighter in the rear- but I have a small waist and a muscley butt. Fit my athletic shoulders perfectly. Very soft and comfortable. 

Definitely runs large...I usually wear a 4 and the 2 was even loose on me for this one.  I would encourage double sided tape if you are doing any side to side movements.  The fabric was nice but it was a little too thin to wear spanx under and it felt more cotton-y than anything.

The color of this dress is super pretty (think red wine) but I would not recommend this dress if you plan on dancing as you need to wear fashion tape on the sides to keep it in place and the material does not stick very well to the tape. 

I wish that this dress were in a finer fabric than the cotton blend it is.  It was pilled and did not look fine close up.  I wore it and the dress looked great on, I was just worried for someone to see it close up!

This dress had a lot of potential. I rented it as my backup for a wedding, and so I wore it the evening before to the rehearsal dinner. It looked cute from the back, but it just didn't fit right up top and it would not stay put. I kept accidentally showing my sticky bra  because the dress would slip one direction or another.

I love this dress! I am very extreme hourglass and also tall, and this fit well. It also stayed in place surprisingly well given how sexy the back is. I wore it with a NuBra and it was actually pretty comfortable all night.

The unique back of this dress calls for an updo or hair pulled to the side if it's long.  The fabric of the dress is soft and comfortable, the color is gorgeous.

I did not end up wearing this dress, as the material is too thick for Summer.  However, I would definitely rent it again, as the fit was on point!

I rented this as a backup and didn't wear it. The size 4 and 6 were very similar in fit. In my opinion, this dress is too short to wear to a wedding, but it would be perfect for a night out! 

This dress is really cute, but is not fitted well in the waist and back for tall women. Unfortunately, I didn't wear this one.
