Loved it!

I loved the pattern and style of this dress! It was different and super cute. I wore it to a date night and a wedding welcome party.

Great for a wedding!

I was comfortable enough to not have to change into regular clothes between ceremony and reception. The fit was great, and the material soft. This one is dance floor ready!

Perfect fit. Great Material. You’ll feel sexy!

Perfect fit. 5’5’’ 113lbs. Loved how the top fit and felt supported. Material is great quality and pattern photographs incredibly well. Compliments all night. Train in back is small, suggest wearing at least 3’’ heels. Wore with a sweater when it got cold and still looked cute!

Loved how flowy and comfortable this dress was. Being able to adjust the tightness of the back strings was perfect to be able to wear without a bra

Perfect for a Nashville wedding

I wore this to a wedding in Nashville and got so many compliments! The skirt is so flowy and flattering and the cutouts are very fun. The pattern is a bit outside my comfort zone but I loved it.

Awesome for very hot weather!

This is a great dress! Very flattering and comfortable. I was worried the elastic around the waist was going to be too tight or unflattering but it is awesome! The fabric is perfect for a very hot day (my event was in Mexico), very flowy, and easy to wear because of the adjustable back. If you are a petite girl like me, it is asymmetric and the longer side will need a very high heel. Great dress.

Great dress for warm weather

This dress is so good for an outdoor event in warm weather! The fabric is light and it is very comfortable to wear. The straps are a bit tricky to get right (that’s probably why there’s a few reviews saying that the straps are too long), but it’s all about how you tie the back. I noticed that after tying the dress, the end of the straps should end up towards the center of your back (looking at the model’s back picture helps a bit).

Unique beautiful dress

I loved this dress even though the straps were a few inches too long and there was no way to shorten them, but I made it work. I liked that I could tie it in the back to tighten it up. The length was great.

Better Than Expected!

The first time I tried this dress on, I wasn’t sure I liked it. I think I felt a little self-conscious because it was unlike anything I’d worn before and It’s definitely a sexy dress. I wore it to a rehearsal dinner and probably would have felt better if I wore it to just a date night. I did feel like it looked flattering on, though! I got lots of compliments! I wore 2” heels and that worked in the front, but sometimes the back train would get stepped on.

Great dress for a HOT day

Wore this to a summer wedding on a humid, 90 degree day and it kept me cool. I also received many compliments! Wasn’t sure when I ordered this because I usually need to wear a bra, but I was able to tie this tight enough in the back to get the support I needed without even wearing chicken cutlets! Enjoyed wearing this dress and would recommend it.

Stunner

Amazing dress, straps are a bit long but if you tie the back tight it’ll stay up all night long. It has a bit of a train so make sure to wear tall shoes to avoid it dragging

Comfy and pretty dress.

The dress is very light weight and comfortable; has a sexy back and got lots of compliments. The shoulder straps are a little big but the top stayed in place by tightening the back straps so that was not really an issue. Wanted a comfortable dress that I could dance all night long in and this one delivered.

Rent. The. Dress.

This is by far the best thing I have ever rented. The fabric is soft and silky. Not super tight around the middle so no worries if you get bloated! I received a ton of compliments all night long. You can really adjust the dress to minimize/maximize the side cut-outs. I’m not super into flaunting my middle but I thought it was a really good option to transition out of my comfort zone! I did get a tall size but it still hit around my ankles so I could flaunt my shoes with a subtle high/low hem. Seriously considered buying this, it’s such an amazing dress!

Wore this dress for a rehearsal dinner and loved it! Such a comfortable, flowy dress and it was perfect for the occasion! Was worried the cutout would be too much in person, but mom and grandma approved :)

Great Dress!

I loved the fit of this dress. It was true to size and super flattering. I like how it skimmed my body but wasn' tight. I had to use boob tape to give my boobs a bit more support. I also pinned the straps in the back because they were too long but it was worth it for how much I loved the dress. Got lots of compliments!

Cute but can’t wear a bra!

Loved this dress, but the straps are a little too long and it made me look super flat chested since I couldn’t wear a bra. Very comfy though. The small long was long! I’m 5’8” and I tripped on it a couple times.

Cute!

Was an option for a wedding but ultimately didn’t wear it as it was on the more informal side for a formal wedding. The chest area was so comfortable with adjustable straps in back. Def on the shorter side for taller girls but would be a cute vacation look!

Many compliments

I loved this dress. It was formal and elegant looking while also comfortable. It’s is long for someone who is 5’6, if I wasn’t careful I would step on a piece even with heels on (maybe 2 inches high?). You can easily go bra less or with nipple covers in this

Great for Formal Beach Wedding

The dress fit well. The cutouts weren’t over the top, and the slight high/low cut meant that I didn’t have to worry about length while wearing 2-3” heels. The back of the dress had adjustable ties so also didn’t need to worry about the fit there. The only thing to note is that the straps were just a bit loose and kept falling down, but nothing that couldn’t be fixed with a bit of body adhesive had I planned ahead better.
