Petite friendly

Very comfortable and pretty! I'm 5'0", so this fit like a maxi dress on me which was perfect. If you have a bigger chest, the neckline will shift so I would use tape to keep everything in place.

Iconic yellow dress

Wore it to a wedding, got tons of compliments. The fabric does start to stretch a little in the chest area after wearing it, so I did have to pull up my dress a couple of times, but nothing that hindered my look/ night. Definitely absolutely use fashion tape!! (I used tape and I still had to adjust a bit)

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!

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

Comfortable, fits well

This dress fit me well, holds well too, I didn’t need to wear a bra. It’s comfortable too. One thing that bothered me was the black hanger loops under the dress that kept coming out.

I loved this dress so much! It was so unique and perfect for w beachy summer wedding. I am a 36DD and the top area was a little but tight but it worked well because I didn't have to wear a bra. Highly recommend!

Super cute!

Wore to a formal garden wedding. It was perfect! Larger chest girlies would benefit from some fashion tape to hold the dress up, I had to pull it up a bunch all night. So fun to twirl!

South of France Wedding!

Wore it to a destination wedding in the south of France! The evening got super chilly (58F), so I paired it with a cashmere blend shawl, but overall it was very good.

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!

Beautiful but not for me

The fabric is beautiful and moves beautifully, but the cut isn’t as flattering on me. As someone petite, I look for dresses that create a taller, more slender silhouette through their fit and proportions—this one had the opposite effect.

Unique and pretty dress

I loved the color, the shimmer, and the fit of this dress. Only thing I didn’t like was the black strap that helps to hang it kept coming out and it was very obvious. It also was a little confusing to put on at first, but I just looked at the photos of the model and was able to figure it out easily.

Princess vibes

I LOVE this dress, but I didn’t wear it to the event I rented it for. The skirt is beautiful and it makes me feel like a princess, and the thicker material meant that I didn’t have to wear a bra/pasties or shape wear. I chose a different dress over this one because I didn’t feel comfortable with the asymmetrical straps. I feel great in one shoulder dresses but I felt that I was adjusting the straps too much, and when I adjusted the straps the opening in the back of the dress would shift from the center. I would try renting again for another event. The dress has a shimmer to it but it’s not overbearing.

Great for a summer wedding!

The yellow is beautiful and the hint of sparkle is fun! The neck line is really unique - got lots of compliments. It’s a bit difficult to put on (over the head for sure) and actually accented my curves way more than I thought it would. Definitely hugs but wore some spanks and felt great - the movement of the dress with the flare at the bottom makes it quite elegant. Might not wear for a long day but it was perfect as a guest!
