So Festive and Comfortable!
I wore this for a fiesta themed couples shower and it was a huge hit. The embroidery, colors, and "flowiness" were perfect. I got compliments all night. This does run quite large, though. I flip flop between mediums and larges depending on the type of dress, designer, etc. and ended up wearing the medium on this occasion. I probably would have been ok to even go down to a small. No bra necessary with this dress and it'snot tight in the bust in the least. The one complaint I do have about this dress was that my straps kept slipping off all night. This would not keep me from renting this dress again!

Wish I had more events to wear it to
Beautiful dress. The colors are so vibrant and the dress really flows. I wish I had more events to wear to. Honestly, I probably would have worn the medium, but it's hot outside and even though the fabric is very light, I wanted a little room between my body and the fabric. It really could have gone either way with the regular or long dresses. I'm 5'7" and the long grazed the floor when I wore 2" heels but I would have gotten the regular to wear with flats. I also would have worn a medium-and-a-half, if that would have been possible. The large was slightly too big so just a half size down would have been great

Got lots of compliments on this dress. Slightly uncomfortable because I felt like I had the straps tied too tight, but overall great dress

Photographs great, but not great for dancing
I wasn't thrilled with this dress the first time I put it on. I tried the large on first and the slip underneath fit great, but the top was very billowy and gaping and it looked strange that it was so large up top. I tried on the medium next and the top fit great, definitely not as billowy, and more of a romantic flowy. The slip underneath, however, made the night almost unbearable. It definitely didn't match the "medium" size of the rest of the dress. It was so tight and kept riding up all night. I had to choose the medium for the evening, because of the way it looked. You couldn't see how tight the slip was underneath the great draping of the dress, so I opted for that one. If you're planning on dancing all night, be prepared to try and hold the dress closed, so you don't flash anyone. I was told multiple times that it looked "glamorous", though.

Almost Like a Vintage Baby Doll Dress
I had been eyeing this dress for quite a while and when one of the dresses I rented was shipped to me with a little damage, I took this as my opportunity to rent this one. The dress is very pretty and the details are gorgeous. However, it almost reminded me of a grandma dress or a baby doll dress. I ended up wearing the damaged dress instead. It fit really well and was very comfortable, but it just lacked a little oomph. It would have been great to dance in.

Did Not Stand Out
I'm pretty disappointed in this dress, but It did fit really well and runs true to size. I don't generally wear lace, but I thought that maybe since the back had a little bit of sex appeal it would spice things up a little bit. It didn't. My husband said he really liked the dress, but he was the only person who even mentioned the dress at all. The boning in the dress makes it possible to not wear a bra which is great. However, I was worried that part of the dress kept sliding down all night. Plus, the boning was poking through the fabric and was very uncomfortable. Overall, I didn't hate the dress, but I definitely didn't love it and would not rent this again.

Gorgeous, but uncomfortable.
The dress is stunning to look at. It's bright and colorful and it was perfect for my graduation from pharmacy school. However gorgeous it may have been, I would not rent this dress again. The cut is so small in the ribs and in the arms and I was miserable. They didn't have the size 10 that would probably would have been more comfortable so I wore the 8. The skirt is pretty full also, so it might not be the most flattering on some people. Always size up for this dress! I did get a lot of compliments on it though.

So Many Compliments!
The dress was gorgeous for a rehearsal dinner. The material was nice and think and had a beautiful sheen to it. It was a little low cut, and that made me feel slightly uncomfortable being in the church for the actual rehearsal, but other than that, the dress was totally appropriate. I got so many compliments throughout the night and multiple people asked me about the dress. As far as the fit goes, I think it fits true to size except it was a little tight around my ribs. I absolutely would not have been able to wear a 10 though. I am thrilled that I rented this dress.

Earrings are perfect for wedding!
These earrings are beyond perfect for a wedding. They aren't too big or too small and they aren't too heavy. I needed something with a little drama and these were just the thing. I barely even knew that I had them on for 12 hours. Highly recommended!

Big confidence booster!
This dress was great! It had just the right amount of sex appeal with the mesh cut-outs without being too scandalous. The dress hugs your curves in all the right places, but it's not too tight. The material is high quality. It felt a little short to me because I don't normally wear anything that short, but everyone else told me it wasn't as short as I felt like it was, and I never had any problems with having to pull it down all night! I highly recommend this dress. I wore it for the first night of my bachelorette party and it was a huge hit!
