Nice material and pattern.

I didn’t have any problems with tightness. The shoulders didn’t lay smooth like the rest of the dress. Compliments, but will not rent again.

Gorgeous!

One of my favorite rentals. Elegant, structured, and beautiful. It may be a bit long for me, but it didn’t matter due to the quality and fit of this dress.

I was not sure about this look, but I received so many compliments.

The details really make this dress stand out including the sheer sleeves. I paired it with black tights and black knee high suede boots.

My kind of dress

Gorgeous. Quality fabric heavy enough to drape nicely, eye catching pattern, great fit for me. Only fit issue is the sleeves run a bit tight between elbow and wrist. I always have a dilemma with dress size 4 vs 6 I chose 6 for this one. It fit wonderfully but given the slight stretch of the fabric I think 4 would also work fine

Okay this material and fit was gorgeous it gives EXPENSIVE! I will say I felt overdressed for work, so I didn’t wear it more than once. The vneck wasn’t too deep so great for work and no complaints on the sleeves and I have thick girl arms.

Well made

This dress showed all the curves (in a good way)! Pattern was unique and the material is amazing. My only complaint is the sleeves. Very snug and that is not usually an area of concern for me. I would try sizing up for comfort. I think the fit would still be nice overall

Don’t rent if you have don’t have skinny arms!

I’m a size 4 in the dress fit fine except my biceps were squeezed even my elbows were uncomfortable not to mention they were too long and you can’t do anything about it because it’s mesh at the bottom of the sleeve. It fit everywhere else so for skinny armed girls only

Oddly shaped with tight arms

This was an ok look but I could caution anyone with arms bigger than mine to skip it. I have very small arms and it was tight on me. I was worried about ripping as I was taking it on and off.

I got lots of compliments on this and would have worn it multiple times, but it was really tight in the arms and it was beginn To fray in some areas. Also I was disappointed it wasn’t lined. Wore it to work and it was a hit though

True to Size

Some other reviews complained about tight sleeves and odd sizing. I don't get that. I sized up and it was simply too baggy and unflattering. My true size, a 6, would have been perfect on me.

This fits so well and I'm busty. Ordered it for work and ended up wearing it to a funeral. It feels well made and I got compliments too so a win.

Pretty

I didn't wear it, I didn't feel comfortable in the belly area, scuba type material - loose and tight at the same time. I would recommend anyone to try this dress though, it is a beautiful dress - nice material and design.

Fun pattern, but not as flattering on as I’d like

It wasn’t as flattering on me as other dresses, but I did receive several compliments from strangers who said they loved the dress. I had tried both the size 8 and 10. The size 8 fit but was a tad too snug in the rib cage. I choose to wear the size 10. The sleeves fit well and were long enough for arms :)

Not Flattering

I usually love this cut of dress, but this was too tight through the body, so it didn't look flattering. It's a shame because the details and tailoring are great - the zipper on the back for instance runs up with the pattern to avoid breaking it up. Might work better if you are less curvy!
