My two goals for NYE was to look like a disco ball and drink champagne. I succeeded at both. This dress is BEAUTIFUL. I'm so glad I rented it because I can't think of another occasion I would really wear a dress like this one. I rented both the small and medium, and ended up wearing the medium (my back up size) because I liked the arm length better (although, I think I have long gorilla arms). So if you're not a gorilla, the small would be great! The colors also differed slightly between the small and medium. The small was silver with a tiny hint of red and, believe it or not, blue! Not so much color that it didn't look silver, though. It was stunning. I wanted to wear it just because of that. The medium was a bit more tame, with more of a light pink/peach color intermingled with the silver. I paired the dress with black tights (it was winter, and cold!), red pumps, red nails and red lipstick. LOVED this rental!

This dress really has a pop of color. If you think you're going to fade into the crowd while wearing this one, think again! This dress is full on, in your face, magenta. It's awesome! And it's so comfortable! Both the 2 and the 4 fit me. The 4 just a bit more roomy in the bust/waist, but since I was planning on wearing heels, the 4 was just a touch longer and made me feel a little more comfortable about the length. I ended up wearing flats, so ultimately could have worn the 2, but I was comfortable and could move easily all night.

I rented this dress for my bridal shower. I didn't want a completely white dress, and I wasn't disappointed! In person, it looks bright pink and the silver is more of a gold. I usually bounce around between size 2 and size 4 dresses. I sized this as "true to size" because I can't size different parts of the dress - however, the 4 was too big in the bust/waist, but I have a very small bust, but the 2 was just a little too short. Regardless, I wore the 2 and had to keep pulling it down while I was sitting so as not to give my guests a show. Ultimately, I did love the dress, and received tons of compliments!

I rented this for a wedding celebration for those folks who can't make it to our wedding. I felt absolutely beautiful in this dress. It was so comfortable and easy to wear, with no worries about wrinkling. The slip underneath has a slight lace trim and I really wish I could have done more dancing (read as "twirling") so it would peek out. Such a lovely touch. I am seriously considering renting this dress again for the rehearsal dinner.

This dress was sent to me as a back up because the dress I originally rented was no longer available. I didn't end up wearing this dress ONLY because I was afraid I would be underdressed. In hindsight, I would have fit in perfectly with this dress. It was amazingly bright! The shoulders did feel a little tight, but I think a size up (6) would have been too big. Would love to rent this again for a different affair.

The dress does run a little small, but it was comfortable. The picture doesn't really show it, but one of the sides is gathered to add a little bit of shape. The back of this dress is the best part. I loved the openness of it. I could wear a regular bra with no problem because the wide strap matched perfectly over it. The scratchiness of the sequins didn't really bother me so much and the length was perfect! I wore it with sparkly flat sandals only because the heels I had seemed to make me a little overdressed.

I wore this for my sister in law's college graduation in New Orleans. It was perfectly cool and flowy for the hot and humid May weather in NOLA. The dress was pretty, but I was not comfortable in it and changed immediately following the graduation ceremony. The straps were way too long, which I had read in other reviews, and made sure I was prepared by bringing safety pins to make them shorter. I ordered the XSL and SL. I wore the XSL, and the middle waist band was not tight at all! I had to hold it to keep it up otherwise it fell down, especially when I walked, making the top fall straight instead of "bloussant-y". I hiked it up before pictures so it would look right, but I felt like I had to push out my stomach to keep it from falling. The length was perfect, though! I wore it with about 3 in wedges.

I loved this dress! I got many compliments and it was very comfortable to wear. There were some drawbacks, though. When I received the dress, the lace sleeve was ripped, so I called to see if it could be exchanged. Unfortunately there were no more dresses in the size I needed available, so I was given the option of picking out another dress (which I really didn't want to do, as I was really looking forward to wearing this one) or going to a seamstress, having the sleeve repaired, and would be reimbursed for the charge. The wedding was out of state, and we didn't have much time to wander around looking for a seamstress, so I ended up just wearing the dress ripped, which no one really noticed, but I knew it was there. The only other thing was that the lace overlay was shorter than the dress, presumably from cleaning. I was forewarned by other reviewers that this was most likely the case, so I wasn't all that shocked. The dress fit fine; the top is definitely wider than the bottom. I easily fit into the size 2 on top, but couldn't sit down comfortably. I wore the 4 and just had some extra room for movement.
