Flowy, gorgeous, made me feel like a princess

Love the A-line flair skirt, it hid my hips really well and was so flowy and pretty to dance in. The off-the-shoulder bands were loose enough and had elastic that allowed me to raise my arms even with the bands closer to my elbows. Couldn’t get enough of this dress!

Best wedding dress I could’ve wished for

I honestly loved this dress so much and knew it was going to be the dress I’d wear at the get go. I first tried medium but that was a little too loose on me (due to my lack of chest lol). I got the small one which fit so perfectly! I got to dance freely with it and showed off my shoulders well. I had so much compliments! Even the bride told me I looked the best dressed. I told my sister about this dress and she also rented it out for a wedding as well, just so pretty!

Adorable Spring Dress

Ordered both the medium and the large, the large was surprisingly loose in the bust. Went with the medium, waist was a little tight but the girls were well supported. Wore to a broadway performance, got lots of compliments! :)

High-quality

This dress has such great structure and flow at the same time. I wore it to an outdoor opera in the mountains. Will probably circle back to purchase it eventually. A detail you might not see from the photos is that the flowers are very stitched (not printed). This dress is so high-quality.

Replacement Dress

I picked this dress out as a replacement for some other dresses where the sizing ran incredibly small but I am SO happy I received this one! I got the L/XL and the bust and waist was still roomy however it worked out because of the structure in the waist and I was still comfortable after dinner. I felt super feminine and received many compliments.

Runs small but don’t over do the size up

I read the reviews that it ran small and ordered two sizes and three sizes bigger than normal (they were out of the one size up). The dresses were big but one size up would probably fit perfectly.

Loved it!!!

I got tons of compliments on this dress!! I ordered the XL and the XXL and ended up wearing the latter. It was a little tough to get the zipper up even with the bigger size- so just be warned that if you have big boobs you may want to size up!

A thousand compliments!

Amazing dress, so many compliments, and very comfortable!! Although I said the dress was true to size, the bust was a little big. I am 5’5, 110lbs, and a 32A chest so dressed are usually big in the bust for me. I just bought bra inserts to add padding and it was perfect!

The boning is a bit tight, but is secure. I love this dress and own it's twin in white/blush floral. DTP always fits my body perfectly and I never have complaints about the brand!

Full arm movement and comfortable!

I wore this to a formal wedding and the dress was perfect for the occasion. I got tons of complements on the dress! The sleeves have elastic so I was able to easily raise my arms comfortably. The boning in the corset added great structure to the dress.

Perfect for a spring semi-formal wedding!

I'm between a 2 and a 4, and the small fit perfectly. The sleeves stayed in place, and the length was perfect for a semi-formal wedding. Would definitely rent again!

Obsessed!

I’m in love with this dress. Definitely size up, it was a perfect fit at size 16 and I typically wear a 14. I’m only 5’2, so I tend to steer clear of mid-length dresses, but this was so flattering with 3-inch heels, didn’t need a bra, stayed perfectly in place all night. I got so many compliments, literally considering purchasing it. The corset top got a little uncomfortable in the armpits after a while, but it wasn’t too bad. Love this dress overall.

Perfect for a Florida wedding

Loved this. Fit like a dream. Boning wasn't uncomfortable but definitely snug, I'm normally a size 2, 32/34D, and the XSR was great, maybe slightly tight in the chest. Super flattering; tons of compliments.

Comfortable, gorgeous, fun! It was a total hit!

I adored this dress. It made me feel beautiful and I was comfortable all night. The large is a generous fit- more like a 12 than a 10 FYI... I ordered an xl as my backup size but the medium would have been more appropriate as a backup. It was just a tiny bit loose yet I was still able to go braless due to the amazing structure- whoopee!! I got tons of compliments. Would definitely rent again!

Two complete strangers approached me to tell me how gorgeous this dress was!

The fit was perfect and the bodice has a lot of support and structure so no awful, ill-fitting strapless bra was needed. The dress was long on me because I’m only 5’1” but it still looked great! Perfect for a fall event.

Love this dress!

This dress was a dream to wear: beautiful, colorful embroidery, corset boning so no bra needed, flowy skirt, and very comfortable! I thought the off the should look might not be my style, but I liked it. Got lots of compliments! Be mindful of size: I had expected the medium to fit, but I couldn't even zip it, so I was happy the large fit like a glove. Rent this dress if you like it!

I got stopped on the street twice with compliments about this dress. I totally stood out in this!

I wore this to a dinner date with my fiancé for our engagement anniversary/his birthday- a special occasion. I wanted to feel beautiful and special, and this dress did even more! It fit me so well and even tho I am small in the chest area, I felt like it really hugged my body where it needed to! Might actually have to buy it!

Gorgeous dress, so many compliments!

I took a chance on this dress as I would normally wear a size large, and they only had XL, but I had my heart set on it so I figured it would. Thankfully, it fit perfectly. I got so many compliments on it. It was a little heavier than I expected but it ended up being a cooler night so it was great.

Unique and comfortable

Everything about this dress was amazing--the boning makes it super flattering and also makes it easy to dance in without worrying about it falling down. The pattern is vibrant and beautiful. Got several complements on the dress, as it is quite unique. Did i mention that it's comfortable??? So many things are great about this dress--I cannot say enough

So many compliments!

The dress fit like a glove -- the fitted bodice never felt like it was falling down, and there was no need for a bra! I also loved that although it was tight enough to not slip down, it didn't cause any squishing/overflow of skin on my back. I've never gotten so many compliments on a dress before, other than on my own wedding day! Highly recommend.

Brunch beauty

I wore this dress for a brunch along the water. It was a little longer on me than it was on the model but I'm also 5'1 and with heels it looked perfect. The corset was smaller than I anticipated but since I also ordered the large, I just went with that for a better fit. The dress is BEAUTIFUL in real life and I received many compliments! The sleeves were big but it was a minor issue.

I felt so pretty!

I felt so pretty in this dress and my fiancé loved it too! The sweetheart neck and the off the shoulder sleeves are so beautifully feminine. I was able to dress it down with Birkenstocks for a garden party/rehearsal dinner but you could easily dress it up for the main event with some heels. My only critique is that it was a bit long since I’m only 5’4 - wouldn’t been 10/10 perfect if it was a few inches shorter!

Perfect dress for a fall cocktail wedding. There’s no stretch, so get the right size, but this fit like it was made for me and I got a ton of compliments and felt confident mingling all day and dancing all night. Loved how the embroidery is bold and bright. The sleeves did rub a little on my arms but not too bad—still 10/10 recommend this dress!
