Beautiful, sparkly, flattering!
Wore to a low key outdoor wedding. The staff told me the next day that they voted me for best dressed! I love a good high low gown!

Had a great time at the wedding!
I did end up wearing this dress. It was beautiful and I got many compliments. The pockets are always the best part! I felt it was a good material and although the material was quality/think it did not feel heavy. My only complaint is the same as every other review for this dress: The straps are way too long and it causes issues particularly with a large chest. Because it was loose the girls were definitely going to fall out and wearing a bra with the low cut was not an option (double whammy) so I wish they had been adjustable. We had tried to pin them and when that didn't work (the pins would pop open). We used some thread to get them to cinch in the back. I probably wouldn't rent this one again, but it was pretty and received many compliments. It was also easy to dance in. I would have liked a little more leg to show (for my own preference since it is my only/best asset), but the little peek that it had was nice as is too. For info I have been described as an inverted triangle/top heavy. I call myself apple shape, my friends say inverted triangle. So use that info how you will!

I did not end up wearing this dress.
I was not impressed with this dress. It was heavy material and a pretty design but just was not flattering for my figure. I look better with some leg exposed. It made my chest look smaller and my hips look wider. I also do not think it would be easy to dance in because it is form-fitting it would be difficult to move your legs too much.

Ordered the 10, didn't wear it though it did fit.
This was a back-up choice. I opted not to go for it as I didn't think it totally flattered my figure and I was able to get a different look for the night. The dress was just alright. I did like the color/design, but the material is thin/lightweight and the underskirt is very short. If i had tried to dance in it I surely would have exposed my underwear to the see-through lace part. Also I found the straps to be a bit tight, which is fine to hold in your chest and go without a bra, but could become uncomfortable after a long period. Also the way the fabric ruched/cinched leaves a little extra lace hanging if you look at it in certain angles. If you order the dress tight enough it shouldn't be an issue.

Did not end up wearing to the event
I loved the dress but it didn't zip all the way up my back (directly behind my bust area), so large breasted women might want to use caution. In other dresses I can usually get the girls out of the way enough to zip, but in this gown, with the way the fabric is, the chest also effects the arm holes A LOT. It almost zipped, but even if it had I would not have been able to comfortably wear it for an evening as it was cutting off my armpit circulation. Also I do have wide hips, but the way the extra train fabric sits makes the hips look even wider than they are. It was beautiful though, nice colors and nice material. I would just think hard before renting if you are curvy/busty and size up probably 2 sizes if you are curvy. For info I have been described as an inverted triangle/top heavy.
