Amazing dress - I didn't want to send it back!
I wore this to a holiday party that I threw, and it was stunning. I felt amazing in it. I completely forgot to take pictures all night, but I wore it with opaque black tights and black heels, and it was perfect. I got tons of compliments, and the fit was great. I'm typically a 0 or 2, and I wore the 0 in this. I seriously want to own this dress - flashy and fun without being over the top. It's definitely short, but the conservative neckline and cap sleeves make it feel not overly revealing.

Fun with great shape
I wore this to a holiday party. I had requested the 0 and 2, but the 0 wasn't available. Fortunately, the 2 fit great; slightly big at the top, but not so much that it would fall down or anything. Fit through the hips really well and actually showed off my shape well, which I wasn't sure would happen with all the ruffles. It's also really comfortable because the fabric is stretchy.

Cute, but not a show-stopper
I actually ended up wearing something else because I couldn't figure out what to do with the belt. In the picture it looks good and cinched appropriately, but there are 2 ends to the belt that you have to wrap around and then tie in the back, and I could never get it to look right. The 0 fit me fine, though, and I'm typically a 0 or 2.

Perfect dress for a fun birthday night
I fluctuate between a 0 and 2 in regular retails stores like J.Crew and the Gap, so I had them send one of each in this dress. I ended up wearing the size 2, as the 0 was a little too snug to zip up. As some reviewers said, the sequins near the arm openings sometimes hit against your skin uncomfortably, but not enough to make me not want to wear this dress again! The dress hit lower on me than the model, probably about knee length. I was impressed that the sequins were not so flashy as to feel out of place in less formal locations (we went to a different locale after our main event). I got a ton of compliments everywhere I went. It draws attention while still feeling classy and classic, which I think is perfect! I can't wait to rent it again!

Perfect
This dress fit me perfectly. I am typically a size 2, occasionally a 0 depending on the brand, and the XS was perfect. If you are very straight or very curvy, this may not fit as well. I was surprised that the sizing was S/M/L since it's not super stretchy and has a side zip, but fortunately the XS was a perfect fit. I got TONS of compliments on it. Probably more than any dress I've ever worn, and people were shocked when I told them it was a rental. The rouching through the bodice and the fabric pieces of the skirt accentuate all the right places. It is great.

Really comfortable and flattering in all the right places!
I had them send the XS and S after reading reviews that said it stretched, but I ended up wearing the S. The XS was just a little too tight to be comfortable. I'm usually a 0/2, though, so I was a little surprised by that. I'm thankful that they send 2 sizes! The dress hit me at about the knee. Definitely an easy fit, though, that would probably fit a number of shapes. Looks awesome on curves.
