I loved everything about this dress. The color, the fit, the length. As I expected, I had to use a lot of fashion tape and safety pins to keep my bra from showing in the back. I got lots of compliments at a wedding. 

Made for me. Great movement and a beautiful gown. Was not itchy to me and did not chafe. Compliment after compliment. 

Wore to a winter fundraising gala. Slightly itchy and irritating to arms but not unbearable. Beautiful draping of back. Front needed adjusting. Perfect length. Lots of compliments all night. 

Really loved the look of this dress. The cowl neck on the top was a bit big/too much fabric but overall loved it!

Like others mentioned it is a scratchy dress, but I thought it was worth it considering the gorgeous fit, color, and sparkle. The only other negative was that the straps slid off my shoulders occasionally and leaning over was a bit of a no-no. All things considered I was thrilled with this dress for one-night only for this formal wedding event and would suggest it to others!

Loved this dress. The sequins did irritate my under arms a bit, but I was part of the wedding party so was wearing it for 12+ hours! Loved the open back and got tons of compliments

Got so many compliments. Very comfortable. Love the cowl neck. Gorgeous color. Great for a California black tie wedding. 

So elegant, but still sexy with the low back. The length was perfect with 3” heels, but I had to lift up the hem a bit while walking so as not to snag the sequins with my embellished sandals. I felt really pretty, not as easy at 65+ !  

wore this to reception of Indian wedding! so flattering and comfortable (only thing is the sequins can be itchy on skin around the straps). 

I loved this dress so much. It fits like a glove and just hangs on you - such a pretty light purple with the patterned sequin overlay too. Very fun for a formal affair. Wore to a Miami wedding. 

Wore this dress to a black-tie wedding & felt very beautiful. My only complaints are the sequins by the arms are a little scratchy at times & I needed fashion tape to keep the straps from falling down. Once I was having fun at the wedding though, I never noticed the sequins or the straps.

Wore for a semi formal wedding and got a lot of compliments on the style & unique back dip fabric. But my under arms were red and scratched an hour in because of the rough itchy sequins. Im really tall and the length was almost right but a little short.

A beautiful dress, the size 12 was a little loose to be honest. Also, the sequins are quite scratchy on the straps and armpit areas. I wore small blister pads to alleviate some of the direct skin contact. I also used a safety pin to secure the top so the girls weren't on full display at the wedding. Probably should have sized down.

I ended up not wearing this. The dress looked gorgeous on, but the sequins rubbed against my arms and shoulders in such an annoying way. It made the dress unwearable for my event. It was also a little too big in the waist, but length was perfect for me with heels on. 

Loved this dress.  So easy to wear, but other reviewers were right. The sequins are so painful. Really scratched the back of my arm.  Otherwise I loved this. 

I love the dress; it is very beautiful, and I received so many compliments that day. However, since the only available size was 6, I ordered it. It fit me well around my hips, but the straps were a bit loose around my shoulders. That’s when I started feeling itchy due to the fabric. 

Loved this dress! I wore it for a black tie optional spring wedding and had so many compliments! Like others say it’s a little scratchy around the shoulder straps but not uncomfortable. I’m newly postpartum so my sizing is off. I probably could have worn a 10 but opted for the extra comfort of the 12. It was a little loose around the bust and I needed to use fashion tape to keep the straps up but overall a favorite! I will definitely be renting again! 

My husband loved this dress, but I don't think it was particularly flattering. The sequins under the arms were scratchy, I had to fashion tape the straps to my shoulders so they didn't fall off (if they fall, it would expose your entire chest), and the fabric was a bit stiff for my liking.
