Living, breathing disco ball (but sexy)!

I looooooved this dress. I wore it for my 40th birthday dance party, and I felt so GOOD. The material is thick, no shape wear needed to feel snatched and no bra was necessary either. I wore grippy cakes, but that’s it. Which as a 34D is not usually possible for me. I didn’t have the issue that other renters had with it being scratchy. I loooooved it!

Lost track of how many compliments I received!

I wore this to the Backstreet Boys concert in Vegas and it was PERFECT! It’s thick so no need to wear a bra, and the straps can be unhooked in the back to make shortening or lengthening easier. Yeah it was a little uncomfortable/scratchy under the arms but no worse than I anticipated. Easy to walk and sit in.

Gala with a theme!

I tried the xs, which probably would have worked, but the zipper wouldn’t go up past where the bottom and top of the dress were sewn together. Also, I didn’t have anyone to zip me in. So I went with the small. Good fit. I shortened the adjustable straps a bit, but that was all that was needed. I’m 5,5” and 115 pounds. It was pretty comfortable, a bit stretchy, and looked like a disco ball. I loved it!!

Compliments all night

Perfect for a party where the dress code was metallics. Fit TTS to slightly small. You'll need someone to help you zip it. Narrow through the midsection. Straps are adjustable. Some stretch but not tons.

Disco ball fun!

Wore this to a gala and it was perfect for the occasion. Received many compliments. I love the large sequins. I also love disco balls, so that tracks, lol! It was surprisingly tight in the chest. I was worried I was not going to be able to zip it and required help. Once it was zipped it was ok. But it was difficult to use the restroom. I still loved it, but would size up next time.

Holiday perfect dress! Get ready to impress

This dress is will stop people in there tracks. It has stretch. You can wear cups and pasties if needed. But you will stay secure in this dress. The sequins are scratchy uber the arms but that’s to be expected. I highly recommend for a gala, nye or holiday party. The fit is true to size with stretch.

I am OBSESSED with this dress! I chose it for my birthday to go out with my friends and it was a HIT

If you have a bigger chest, it may be a bit of a tough fit in the top at first. Once you move the girls around you should be good! Sequins are not uncomfortable but there isn’t a lot of stretch.

the BEST party dress.

I wore this to friend's lavish LA wedding, where I was also the DJ. Disco ball vibes! I received so many compliments! This dress is one-of-a-kind and perfect for a big party. I'm normally between a 6 and 8 and the L fit me best. Just needed to adjust the straps tighter. Other reviews said this was scratchy under the arms, but I did not have that problem.

Runs small, but has give

Thankfully, I read the reviews and grabbed a back up size medium. I am typically a size 4, and sometimes a size 6 if something is cut narrow across the hips or has no give. Because I saw a review where a woman reported similar and was unable to zip the dress, I grabbed the backup size. Thank goodness that is an option. I would not have possibly been able to zip the small. The straps are a different fabrication and in my opinion a strange fabric choice but my hair covered them. They are adjustable and that was helpful. The dress itself is very form fitting through the torso with a bit of give, but I would not describe this as stretchy exactly. I got tons of compliments and feel like this is a very forgiving silhouette. That would look good on a lot of body shapes. I happen to be a very hourglass shape and this dress hugged in all the right places.

Received so many compliments on this dress. Wore to a wedding that was peacock and art deco themed. The grooms asked their guests to “upstage them” and i loved wearing this fancy number to their special day!

Fantastic dress!

Beautiful dress for a fundraiser gala with a rock and roll theme. Dress runs very small - DEFINITELY size way up. I had to wear the large and I’m a solid size 6 with a booty. Straps were awkward but realized they needed to criss cross up across the front. Super comfy and received tons of compliments!

Fancy!

Wore for my bachelorette party dinner. It was definitely a show stopper dress. I had to wear the straps a little different, by crossing the straps across the front instead of just over the shoulder since I have a smaller bust. I probably could have sized down to be honest but it fit great. It has a nice structure and creates a nice waist, so it holds up if you wanted to wear a dress a bit roomier. Overall 5 stars love :)

Longer than expected, but true to size. Really supportive bodice; I could have worn as a strapless style if I had wanted to.

Get ready to party

I was looking for the perfect dress for our after party at our wedding. I rented both a S and a M. I ultimately went with the small since it was a little more form fitting in the midsection/chest areas for me. It went perfectly for our disco theme. Such a fun dress, you won't be disappointed.

Wore this to a silver themed benefit and got complements all night. It’s very booby (!) and definitely a tight squeeze, but from a few feet away the sequins hide a multitude of sins!

Stunning dress

I felt like it had some give and would have worn a small but the medium gave me room to eat as much as I wanted. The sequins scratch the heck out of your armpits. I have had a few sequin dresses from ETE scratch me but this one was quite painful. All in all great dress, fits to size and you will get compliments galore.

Walking disco ball!

This dress has allll the sparkles! The fit is great in the dress portion and very comfy as it has adjustable straps, but it still is a bit stiff and wide in the top. I would have given it 5 stars but the main downside is I had to wear a jacket as the sequins would have completed shredded my arms if I didn’t. Otherwise, it would be a perfect dress to really shine and turns heads!

Full of compliments

You definitely have to size up in this dress if you have curves. I expected the dress to be more fitted from top to bottom. Expect the sequin to scrap your armpits all night. I received lots of compliments. It was fun for the night but I didn’t love it as much as I thought I would.
