Beautiful dress

I loved the dress I just found the straps to be a bit loose other than that I received a lot of compliments on the dress

Comfortable and flirty

I’m usually a size 8. The medium was really snug, so wore the large for some room. It’s a comfortable and flirty dress! With the large I needed to wear a strapless bra, which didn’t show at all. The strap that goes across the chest kept twisting. The sparkles weren’t overwhelming at all, and paired nicely with silver shoes and accessories. I got lots of compliments!

Felt like a princess!

Dress is very comfortable, no need to wear a bra. It lays very nicely and is nice material. Good for dancing all night!

Exquisite dress!

Perfect fit, curvy, lightweight and comfortable. I used stick-on bra cups since the back was low and cutout. So many compliments!

Summer Wedding Guest

I wore this to a Summer garden wedding and it was great. Light and comfortable, perfect for dancing, and on trend in Butter yellow. The neckline took me a second to figure out but added a cool point of difference. Would rent again

The best summer wedding dress!

It fit so well and had such a fun twirl. The fabric had a little bit of stretch and with where the skirt hit my waist I wasn't self conscious about my stomach the whole night. There is silver in the dress, so went that direction for accessories

So flattering and gorgeous. Crossover strap is a little tricky.

The fit of the dress so so amazing and made me feel gorgeous. I didn’t realize the dress would be sparkly but it ended up looking great. The cross over strap was a little tricky and I had to get assistance to get it over my head!!

Gorgeous Gowns

Wow! This dress ROCKS! The skirt is so full and fun to twirl in. It’s petty true to size, but the straps are adjustable too which is lovely. The sparkles on the dress are silver, so best to match with cool tone jewelry!

Love this unique dress!!

Fits so attractively around hips and waist! Of note, it is sparkly (silver streaks). I loved the unique neckline, but the fabric of the dress is heavy so it pulled the top half down all night. Couldn't wear a bra because of this which made chest area a bit bagger (though I'm small chested to begin with)

So many compliments!

Pardon the first pic, that was after the night was over but I loved this dress! I got stopped left and right to compliment the dress and ask me where I got it! Getting it on is tricky at first and a little tight getting on but once it’s on it fit so nicely. I was very comfortable all might. Great for a spring /summer wedding or formal event!

So many compliments!

I loved how this dress hugged the right places and still had room to dance/move around in. The sparkles were also so pretty! For my bigger busted gals, the long diagonal strap will dig in a little more but I safety-pinned it to my bra for a little extra support! Overall I would definitely rent this dress again.

Light weight and comfortable, but the straps can rub

The dress itself is light weight and stretchy which I loved, but since I have a larger chest, the straps were definitely digging in a bit since they were so narrow. Over all happy with it.

Wanted to love it

Just not the most flattering in the midsection. Although it fit perfectly (both the XS and S fit good but XS was better - pictured here) I felt like I would have needed really strong shape ware around my stomach to comfortably wear it Also on both dresses I got, the lining falls lower than the outer shell of the dress that really bothered me. I can see it in most of the review pics. Straps are a little strange and I struggled to get it on but once it was on it fit great.

So so! Sparkly

I didn’t love this dress and didn’t end up wearing. The fabric is on heavier side and sparkly. The neckline is confusing to put on and isn’t the most comfortable with the straps on the side of your neck. I wouldn’t rent again

Weird design

Previous reviews noted that the dress was quite sparkly. That wasn’t the thing that was weird - the design overall with the asymmetrical straps I found even stranger.

The material is fancier as people said. Almost a woven type with some sparkle. It is a unique look but wasn’t quite right for me.

Glowing in yellow

The dress was a hit! I wore it with silver strappy sandals. It was comfortable all night. Once you pull the hanger straps down, and position the back with your bra strap, it requires very little adjustment throughout the night.

Comfortable and very pretty

I normally wear a small, but I have a smaller bust so for this dress because it’s tighter on top and loose on bottom the extra small fit better. Dress is great for hot events or outdoor weddings, it didn’t show sweat at all which was a huge plus!

pretty yellow asymettrical, relatively formal

i wore this under a trench coat with espadrilles at my sister’s grad school graduation in nyc on a rainy day and it was perfect. slightly formal but i feel like you can make it casual. straps take a second to figure out but unique once you’ve put it on. slight sparkle not too much (i’m not a sparkle girly)
