Pockets! Comfy most of the night
Three only thing I didn't love about this dress was how scratchy the sequins were on my underarms by the end of the night - but I knew that would be an issue when I rented it. Otherwise, it was super comfortable. I'm between sizes right now and the 20 was definitely a better fit than the 22. The pockets kept my lip color, cash and ID secure all night, even through jumping around the dance floor to songs like Shout. The interior lining kept the sequins from snagging my tights, and the sequins weight the fabric enough to hide lumps and bulges. Several people came up to tell me how much they loved the dress, including co-workers' spouses I'd never met before. 12/10 recommend!

Pretty and comfortable
This dress was great! I wore it for a friend's graduation and it was the perfect early summer dress. Fit well, comfortable, I got several compliments. I'm between a size 20-22 right and was afraid the 20 would be too small, but it fit perfectly. The 22 would have been too big in the stomach and thighs. The color is lovely.

Fit great and comfortable
It was a beautiful dress that earned me lots of compliments at a company holiday party! The sequins are heavy enough to hide all kinds of flaws but it was comfortable to wear. Getting in and out of the car was a bit of a challenge due to the length and how fitted it was down my thighs. I was also worried about stepping on the back (it's longer than the front) with a heel and ripping it, so while on the dance floor I held the skirt up a few inches. Those were my only concerns though! I would definitely recommend this dress. It's a bit low cut at the chest, so be sure you have a bra that won't show.

Pretty but fit kind of odd
I wore this to a holiday cocktail party. The black shift was comfortable but short, the lace and sequin overlay was the part that was kind of odd. It was a good couple inches longer than the shift and since they were two separate pieces, I was always worried that one might be tucked or ruched up somewhere when the other wasn't. The sequins got caught on everything, including themselves, so putting it on and taking it off could be a bit hazardous. It feels like the dress has been worn a lot - the difference in lengths, there was a tiny zipper hook stuck in the arm where it had probably been torn out after being caught previously, the hangar straps were frayed and twisted. It was a pretty dress, but not one I would want to rent again.

Very comfortable, lots of compliments
Though I thought the various materials were a bit strange when I chose this, and I still feel that way, the dress was incredibly comfortable and I was surprised to receive several compliments on it throughout the evening. I wore it to a holiday cocktail party and it worked well, though I think it would also "dress down" easily due to the material. I have a long-haired shepherd and dog fur did stick to it easily, but that was fixed with a lint roller.

Bust is very tight, otherwise great!
A friend and I rented dresses in the same size and ended up switching. This one was too tight for her in the bust (D-cup) and I ended up wearing it without a bra because it was still tight enough on me (B/C cup) that the girls weren't moving once they were in there! The high waist was super tight and ensured I had great posture all night simply because I couldn't move or bend! Other than that, though, I loved this dress. The skirt flared nicely and it had pockets. Who doesn't love a fancy dress with pockets?

Pretty dress, cut a little large, sequins are kind of stabby
This is a great dress. It fit well and was comfortable, and the bust was large enough that when a size D friend tried it on, she loved it. The keyhole back means you need to wear a low-back bra or a shrug. The only negative about this was that the sequins were a bit hard and stabby.

Super short in the back, best for non-curvy bodies
The dress was gorgeous - great color, nicely heavy - but it was so short in the back that my friend didn't end up wearing it. Even just walking normally caused it to slide too high on her hips and show the bottom of her bottom! She is 5'4" and a size 14. This dress probably works better on someone who isn't curvy.

Comfortable and stylish
The only drawback to this dress is that it runs large...I was worried the 22 would be too small, but I should have ordered the 20 as well! (I declined the second size, silly me!) It was comfortable, cute, and easy to get on and off. I wore it for a "business cocktail" awards event and felt great all evening.

Great birthday dress!
The dress was comfortable and flattering. The ruching nicely hides any bulges. The 18 was too small in the upper arms, though it fit nicely in the hips, so I wore the 20 and had plenty of room in it without the dress looking too big. My arms didn't have a full range of motion with the off-the-shoulder cut, so reaching up for anything was out of the question. The little fabric loops that you use to hang the dress stuck straight up above the collar, so I had to use four safety pins to keep them hidden. There are short zippers on the sleeves, which I didn't understand, as the sleeves were plenty large even zipped. Overall the dress was great and I received several compliments about it.
