Fit: Fits true to size and had no issues with zipping it up and it feeling comfortable. The back has a cute keyhole opening that unfortunately didn't lay well on me and sort of puckered out because I didn't fill out that part of the dress enough but it was a nice surprise for the back. The length came a little longer than knee length because I'm 5'4' but that worked perfectly so I could wear this dress without tights in colder weather. Material: Material is great and loved having two different fabrics to give the dress some contrast. The material on top is comfortable and the bottom material felt very luxe (and was easy to steam out wrinkles). One con on the material I didn't realize until after I rented it and was reading comments is that the material right before the dress bottom is see-through. Unfortunately for me, that's exactly where I hold some of my unwanted weight so it didn't look the best as the mesh/see-through material emphasized a part I usually try to cover up with a little higher of a hem or solid material. I just had to make sure I was standing with great posture to help this area out a little :) Color: The color is fantastic! It's a true red and it was a standout color at an event where mostly everyone else was in black. It also goes great with either nude or black shoes. Overall: I only gave this dress 4 stars because while it was a good dress, I wasn't in love with it. The color was fabulous but the fit was just off enough for my body type that I didn't feel amazing in it. For the price and the occasion though, it was great.

Size Worn: 12

Usual Size: 12

Height: 5' 4"

Weight: 175lbs

Fit: I did fit into the smaller size since this dress comes in at the waist, but knew that I would be eating and drinking a lot that night (NYE) so wore the 12 for a little more room. The sleeves fit well and were a good length even for my shorter arms. Where the dress comes in does make your hips look a little wider/doesn't hide wider hips - it still looked good but something I noticed. Material: Fabric felt and looked great. The overall lace got a ton of compliments while the under layer gave enough coverage in all the appropriate places. I was able to wear a nude bra with straps and they didn't show at all. Color was fantastic - a bright red that stood out among a lot of darker, winter colors. Length: I'm 5'4" and this dress hit perfectly above the knee. I did wear it with tights because of the cold weather but even without tights, the length would have worked well and looked appropriate. Overall: Loved this dress and received a lot of compliments. It was a perfect New Years dress as it was something different and worked really well for the weather.

Size Worn: 12

Usual Size: 12

Height: 5' 4"

Weight: 175lbs

Fit - True to size, wore the Large since it gave just a little more room than the medium in the middle wear the band hits. This did mean the dress was a little baggy on the top but nothing that looked bad or strange. The dress and band come in right at the waist which is very flattering especially with the long bottom. Length - I'm 5'4" and wore 3-4 inch wedge heels with the dress and it just hit the ground in the front and a little off the ground in the back. Material - Fantastic material for a summer wedding. It was light weight but not see through or "cheap" feeling. Material also held well despite having to travel with it on a plane. A quick steam got out any wrinkles and I was actually surprised how well the material traveled. Overall - Such a fun dress and the two different patterns on this dress really made it stand out. I had a ton of compliments on this dress including how tall I looked which I never hear at 5'4"! In a see of black and other one color outfits, this dress stood out. The neckline is also super flattering for your shoulders.

Size Worn: LR

Usual Size: 12

Height: 5' 4"

Weight: 175lbs

Fit -Even though I said it runs true to size since I go between two sizes, I did end up wearing the smaller back up size since the dress hit at my waist and then flared out. The v-neck was flattering but it could be a slight issue for anyone with a larger chest since it is fairly deep. Material - Heavy but in a good way as the dress had structure which made if fall in a flattering way. Material could also work in both warmer and cold weather. Because of the sequins, your underarms will get a little itchy from rubbing against the material but this wasn't too bad and the sequins did stay on. I only found two that fell off throughout the night. Length - I'm 5'4" and this dress hit perfectly just above the knee. Bonus - It has pockets! Overall - Perfect fun dress for a semi-formal event and was flattering even if you have wider hips and a stomach. Got a ton of compliments and would recommend this dress to others.

Size Worn: 10

Usual Size: 12

Height: 5' 4"

Weight: 175lbs

Fit: I ordered the 12 and 10 and ended up wearing the smaller 10. The 10 fit great and it also gave me more shape while still hiding some of my problem areas. I have larger arms but the cap sleeves fit fine and didn't feel tight. Fabric: Fabric is thicker than I expected and that was a pro - it makes the dress feel higher quality and allows it to retain its shape and also not wrinkle. Length: I'm 5/4" and it just above my knee which was perfect. Overall: Loved this dress, especially for the price. The color was gorgeous, the fit was fantastic and there was just enough detail on the front to give the dress some depth. I did wear a necklace with the dress to break up the solid pattern a bit. Would recommend.

Size Worn: 10

Usual Size: 12

Height: 5' 4"

Weight: 175lbs

Fit: I can fluctuate between a 10 and a 12 due to my waist to hip proportions and ordered the 12 since a back-up 10 wasn't available. The 12 ended up fitting perfectly and I was hesitant about getting a regular and not a petite since I'm 5'4" and with 3 inch heels the dress was a perfect length. In fact, I'm happy I didn't get the petite or the dress may have been a little too short with my shoes. The only "problem" area was the chest and i say problem because it fit me (36C) but if you do have a larger chest, this may be a little tight. I also have larger arms and while the sleeves weren't loose by any means, they weren't uncomfortable and didn't squeeze my skin. Color: Such a great color and I have blonde hair and moderately pale skin. The contrast between the top and bottom material is beautiful. One note about the bottom fabric - it wrinkles easily so make sure you allow time to steam the dress. Overall: I have never received so many compliments on a dress before and I felt amazing in it. I was sad to have to send it back!
