Vibrant Color & Beautiful Fit
This was another stunning dress. I ended up going with another one but simply because I had a wear a strapless bra with this one and the other I didn’t. I know other reviews complained of seeing every bump but I didn’t feel that way. I thought the ruching did a good job of accentuating my figure. I don’t know how the off the shoulder straps would have held up over the course of the evening so that was my other concern but I guess I’ll never know! Still beautiful though and very comfy with its stretchy material.

Beautiful Dress
This is an easy fit because of the corset back. The medium was my right size but the ribbons in the back were all twisted so I tried the large on. Because it’s corseted it fit fine but the ribbon was way too long with extra fabric. I didn’t end up wearing it as it was a backup dress but when polling friends and family most voted for me to wear this one.

Gorgeous Color!
This dress was so beautiful between the structure and the color. sadly, they couldn’t send the right size I ordered so it was a little big but even with the backup dresses I chose I couldn’t help but wear this one. The neckline was to die for and the one shoulder strap wasn’t cumbersome at all.

Beautiful but Baggy
It’s clear this dress is meant to be baggy but even the small still felt like I was drowning in material. I definitely think you need to be a certain body type to pull off the look, ie no chest, so that it doesn’t add even more volume.

Gorgeous dress, weird boning
The dress was beautiful and comfy but the plastic boning at the chest area was poking out of holes and hurt really bad. If I hadn’t been able to cover them up it would have been a nonstarter to wear. Thankfully it worked out and I got compliments all night. I will say, it doesn’t hide the tummy as well as I’d like in photos but oh well!

Rent this dress!
Fantastic dress. Medium and Small both fit but the small was a bit snugger and gave more shape like I wanted. Highly recommend!

Odd fit and unexpected material
I have a larger bust but the fit was very weird. The top was tight because of my chest but it was ill fitting around the hips. It wasn't tight to the body like the picture shows. Because of that I'd say this runs large, especially those who do not have a larger chest.

Dress fit great. Clean lines and edgy but classy look
Had to go a size up because of my bust. If you're larger in the chest you may want to do that. 6 fit better in the body but 8 wasn't that much of a difference and fit my chest a lot more comfortably! The top has boning to make it easy to go braless, even for larger chested women. Overall fantastic dress

The one shoulder cape made me feel glamorous. It certainly shows any body flaws
Slimmer around the waist, shows flaws so grab undergarments to help smooth things out.

Being able to have such a great dress for a formal affair
The dress was great! I'm not a sparkle kind of girl but the color made it really elegant and less flashy. Got several compliments and the 4 fit like a glove. I need the Long because in 5"8. It was long but with heels it was pretty perfect. My stiletto got caught on the bottom a few times but that was the only issue. They don't have the bust size option for me which is weird but I'm a 32/34 DD
