high accolades!
Great dress for a black tie optional wedding in 100 degree heat. It’s the right amount of stretchy, very comfortable, beautiful colors/pattern and I wasn’t worried about sweating through it. I wasn’t expecting it to be a shorter hemline dress underneath the long top layer - which was interesting and I think made it flattering, but a little extra adjusting needed here and there. No zippers, easy in/out, easy to dance all night!

So gorgeous- compliments all night!
The PERFECT dress for a wedding. Gorgeous look, comfortable, unique. I'm 5'7" and found the length to be exactly what I wanted- not long, not short. I'm smaller busted, so I didn't need to wear a bra (luckily, bc my two bra options peeked through). The 4R was the only size available, but I probably could have used the option of the 2R because the top was a little gapey on me (I think I'm the only one who'd notice that, though).

Beautiful option, not as comfortable as other styles
Runs small- I usually wear a 2 or 4 and the 6 fit me like a glove (I do have broader shoulders). The neckline is gorgeous for showing off collarbones, but nicely conservative with cleavage (I'm a 32C). Very elegant look. Fabric is nice, thick, slimming, and somewhat forgiving, but not as much stretch as I'd like for dancing/sit-down dinner. I wound up choosing another style.

Fits like a glove- gorgeous and elegant
Runs small- I'm usually a 4 and wore the 6L. Unfortunately I didn't wear it because the color washed me out in the winter, but otherwise a gorgeous gown!! The shoulder fabric/draping took a couple of tries to "get right" and I wasn't sure it'd stay in place all night- especially on the dance floor. I would love to rent it again in the summer if I have the occasion to do so.

Fun and elegant for a black tie gala
This dress was beautiful and comfortable, without showing too much skin. I usually order long sizes- I am 5'7" and wore 4" heels, but the 2L I wore was still about 2" too long. I probably should have ordered a 2R. I didn't need to wear a bra, but if you need more support, the low keyhole might be challenging. The front slit was sexy without being too revealing.

Classy way to make a statement
This dress is simply gorgeous!! The color is bold but really fun especially when paired with such a classic silhouette. What this picture doesn't show so well is the beautiful, small train that's perfectly pleated/draped in the back. It's SO comfortable and flattering (no spanx necessary!) I'm 5'7" and it was the perfect length with my 4" heels. It was great to dance in ( although felt like a prop sometimes since the small train can interfere with other people or fierce solos on the dance floor). AWESOME rental

Gorgeous and classic dress with special detail
This was a backup dress option and I wound up going bold with my other dress choice- but this dress is classic lot gorgeous and very beautiful! It was surprisingly heavy and I think I will sized down next time I order for an event because it is pretty stretchy

statement piece!
perfect for a night out on the town as an accent to a simple outfit. it is very sturdy metal, but it does give just enough to adjust perfectly to your wrist size. it was absolutely a steal to rent and i wish i could have kept it!

REALLY, REALLY short!
too much leg for me! the gold wasn't a very pretty color ... dull and somewhat of a grey undertone, which just didn't look right on my skintone. it's definitely a fun option, but just not for me.

i am changed... i love rompers!
i have never worn a romper before (ok, maybe to a costume party), but loved the idea of this for my bachelorette party! great alternative to a little white dress... especially to dance the night away. it beat the little gold dress i rented as back-up without question. i got compliments on it all night. unfortunately an XS wasn't available when i rented, so i went with the S. it was big, especially in the waist and in the bust area (gapping in the underarms). good thing i had a backless bra with me... i'd highly suggest this option! try as i may, i couldn't help but make fun of my "madonna boobs" all night... a little too pointy at that seam! overall, i had a blast in this outfit and would love to wear something like it again (with the right fit!)

stand out from the LBD
So cute- great color!!! my complaint was that the lace edging on the hem line and the collar were both so worn from other customers wearing and the dry cleaning the dress endured. it was so gorgeous and i still got compliments... but the quality was compromised by so much wear/tear. it was obvious to me that it had seen better days.

i loved these earrings -- i never wear chandelier earrings and i would pay to keep these (very tempting!!) they are beautiful. very sparkly, but not too large to over-power any face or outfit. a stunning accessory for any special outfit

looks better on the model !
The color is much more purple than it appears online. I did not find it particularly flattering or comfortable, with the black paneling much stretchier than the rest of the dress and it seemed to ride up funny on me. I had ordered this as my back-up...and I ended up going with my first choice, even though that dress was not in spectacular condition. This one just didn't feel comfortable.

LBD deserving of compliments
Great dress!! Material was more stretchy and forgiving than I envisioned... ended up wearing a smaller size than expected because the larger one "pouched" in the thigh area. I'm smaller on top -- that fit perfectly. No sleeve falling off for me.
