Super Flowy and Tall-Girl-Friendly!
I ordered this as a backup for a formal wedding when my original order was no longer available and it worked for the occasion. I didn't love the overall fit of the dress and felt the midsection sat a little funky (over-emphasized my postpartum stomach imo). But it was rather flattering and I got several compliments through the night. Be prepared that the slit goes ALL the way up! But there is enough movement in the dress that it only really shows when you want it to or you're really moving. The length was great for me so definitely a tall-girl-friendly choice. There are shoulder pads in the top which added a fun structure to the dress I wasn't expecting. You can wear a regular bra, but the front is just clasped shut so you can sit it a little bit, a sticky bra might work better.

Beautiful, but very loose top
I really wanted to make this dress work for a formal wedding in Napa, it was perfect for the weather and season - I ordered the ML and LL and the day before my order was to ship the ML was no longer available. The LL was great in length for me (even with a small heel) but the top was just way too loose and gaping, even with a double-sided sticky bra (and for context, I'm 5 mo postpartum and working with a considerably larger chest than normal, so I thought there was a chance...). the ML probably would've worked, but you never know.

Classy and Fun LBD
I rented this dress for a cocktail NYE party I was throwing. For being tall (6'), I loved the length of this dress. The darting in the torso was a bit short bringing the hips a little high, but it still worked. Between the small and medium I went with the small since it provided a better silhouette. It definitely fit better in the chest for me. Despite being a tad tight, I was still able to move around and host all night. I received a ton of compliments and felt great in this dress. Awesome option for an affordable and fun dress!

Perfect New Year's Eve Dress
I decided a few days before NYE that I wanted to get something fun to wear to the cocktail party I was hosting, and this dress did not disappoint. I received compliments all night long and felt like the hostess with the mostess. The dress was fun and sparkly, but not over the top despite being covered in sequins. It fit perfectly, really accentuated my backside nicely, and was a great length for me (I'm about 6' and it hit a few inches above my knees). I loved the cut of the dress with the cinched waist and open and drapey back (I wore a nubra). I am usually a standard size 6 but I had been sick for the week leading up to NYE so I think that's why the 4 fit so well. My only regret is I didn't get better full-body photos of this dress!

Perfect classic, yet sexy dress for an evening wedding!
I was nervous to wear this dress as it definitely has some sexy elements with the high slit and open back, but the length and conservative front balance the dress well. The color of the dress may be challenging for most weddings as it is a very pale nude/blush though I was at a gay wedding so I didn't have to contend with a bride in white. Being taller, I loved that the dress was longer and it hit me perfectly mid-calf - I don't think the length would work if you're shorter than 5'8" to be honest. I wore a NuBra with the dress and used fashion tape as the top was a bit loose and you can't adjust the straps - I struggled to stay secure as I'm a small B and it was extremely hot and humid but don't think it would have been an issue otherwise. Also, beware of water spots on this dress!!! The light color showed everytime a drink dripped and the raindrops I endured later in the evening. I really loved this dress and received compliments all night! It is definitely a dress for tall ladies who are looking to be sexy and classic!

Flattering and Fun Cut in an Awesome Color!
Being just over 6' tall, I am always nervous with short dresses as they tend to be a little too short on me. This dress was extremely flattering and very comfortable to dance and move in throughout the night. I think the uneven hem actually helped me feel a bit more confident with the length. Some reviews noted the bust was too revealing, but as a 34B, I thought it fit just right without showing too much. I usually wear a size 6 but did opt for the size 4 since it fit more snug around my bodice. I would definitely love to rent this dress again!
