Fantastic dress!

I received so many compliments on this dress! It is fairly low cut, but I was able to wear a regular plunge bra which was a bonus. The MP size fit perfect and I could’ve even worn flats, but chose heels. Loved it!

The dress is beautiful. Fit as if I would have had it tailored made.

I loved this dress. It is beautiful. I wore it to the White House Holiday Party and it was perfect. The dress is even prettier in person.

Beautiful Dress

Loved the dress, but be warned...there is little to no stretch. I usually wear a medium in dresses and ordered the large for this one - glad I did because it fit like a glove. I wish the dress were longer, I prefer having my shoes covered for full-length gowns, but I made this work. For reference, I am 5'7" and the dress hit the top of my feet. Still, lots of compliments!

Stunning!!

Wore to a holiday gala and ladies stopped me to let me know my dress was a stunner. I have a shorter torso and longer legs so slits and low cut neck lines always worry me, but this fit great. I was worried I'd look a little "hippy" in it given my hourglass figure, so I'm including a photo for those of you who need the comparison.

The perfect any season show stopper

Loved this dress so much! Beading was beautiful and not too heavy. Front was a bit low but was able to go bra less without any issues. Slit is high but was able to make bike shorts spanx work. Could not recommend this dress more.

Perfect Gala Dress

I got a lot of compliments on this!!! It actually fit which I was surprised by. The arms are roomy but other than that it fit well. I have wide hips and a small waist. It fit well, a touch large in the waist but still looked good. My waist = 26” My hips = 39”

A sparkling smash

I wore this gown for my anniversary party, and I felt like a movie star in it. It might be the most beautiful and flattering dress I've ever worn. So many people gushed over it and said it was stunning. It sparkled in such a sophisticated way. I ordered the XS and S and decided to wear the XS because it fit my upper-body shape better. It's not stretchy, but I liked that flattering structure. An incredible dress that was a dream to wear. (My first Rent the Runway experience, and I'm hooked!)

Form fitting sparkle dress

This super sparkly dress was an eye catcher. The fabric was rigid and the fit was snug, but it was not uncomfortable to sit in for a 2 hour gala dinner. the neckline cut was just the right amount of revealing so I was comfortable all night.

The fit was exactly a small, the XS was exactly an extra small.

I am 5’4”. The length was perfect with a medium heel. The slit is high, but if you wear stockings, it is just fine. The long sleeves and full back was perfect for a winter evening. So many compliments. It felt great not wearing black to the formal occasion, again.

So many compliments!!

This dress was very fun to wear! and it is VERY sparkly, I got so many compliments on it. One thing to know - I wore my hair in a fancy braid and it was snagging on the back of the dress all night, so plan accordingly! Also - I found the sleeves and shoulders to be a little bit roomy with some bunched fabric, but the dress has almost no stretch, so that is understandable. It was great that it wasn't stretchy on the bottom, it kept my lumpy hips in a nice booty shape!!

Great dress

Compliments all night. Felt like a million dollars. I’m 5ft 9 and typically a size 12 and wore the XLR. Length was a bit awkward but nothing anyone else noticed. Did not need to wear a bra. Everything stayed in place and was comfortable!

Stunner

Wow, this was so fun to wear!! It was a showstopper for a friend’s black tie optional winter wedding. I received compliments all night, including from total strangers just in passing. I don’t usually wear anything like this and felt a little out of my comfort zone at first, but I’m so glad I went out on a limb and wore it. It is a little heavy with all of the intricate embroidery & sequins, but felt appropriate for a December night. There was also really no stretch to it, so I needed some help with the zipper and I felt a little rigid with sitting down, etc. But after a couple glasses of wine, dancing in it was a breeze. ;) Overall, it really felt like a super special treat to wear. If you’re considering it, go for it. You will feel like a million dollars.

I rented this for a semi formal wedding. It's beautiful. That being said, I felt like it was too low cut and the slit was too high - not really my style but it was comfortable enough and I received a ton of compliments!
