Stunning dress for any body type and any age!

My daughter wore this for her "city lights" theme homecoming. It was a knockout and a standout in a sea of hundreds of dresses. Nice fit, comfortable, and gorgeous!

Felt like Serena Vanderwoodsen!!!

Silhouette fit without having to pull it down every two seconds. Short but modest and elegant and a major plus were those beautiful sleeves. This dress is so comfy and light and got so so many compliments! I'm 5'7 and a size small.

Hugged in all the right places. Love love love!!! Order it!

Ordered a large and x large, the large fit perfectly! It’s definitely a short dress, but perfect for parties or fun gatherings. Bell sleeves are awesome!

Rent this!

I loved this dress! I’m about 5’4 and it’s short and tight without a lot of give. The sleeves are loose and flowy but tight around the wrists, I wore this to a girls dinner and on NYE,

PERFECT for 80s prom and Six on Broadway

Hot!! It’s a bold look, ok?! But so good. The sequins, mini skirt, and shoulder pads give it “wow!!” but the color tones or down. Soft inside despite sequins outside. Top 5 all time rental!

Wore this dress to an "80s Prom" themed party and it was perfect. Fit was TTS.

I usually wear a S/M, 26/27 in pants and have a shorter torso, but the Small fit perfectly. The medium was clearly way to big. The dress was definitely warm - the sleeves keep the heat in, but overall the stretchy fabric made it really easy to move around in. I normally despise tight clothing, but the ruching down the center was extremely flattering. Highly recommend!

Cute

Wore this dress to an 80s party and loved it! The dress is very comfortable, material is soft and stretchy. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because my dress was missing the shoulder pad inserts. It was a little disappointing without the shoulder pads but still super cute!

80s inspired sparkly dress!

Absolutely loved this dress! I rented it for a 80s inspired photoshoot at a roller rink. It showed off my body without even showing a lot of body. The skirt was a perfect length- not too short or mid length. Beautiful and comfortable dress <3

Perfect dress for an 80s party!

This dress was spectacular. It's stretchy and light, the sequins make you stand out. The wrists taper, but have zippers if you get claustrophobic. I adored this dress and stood out amongst a million Madonnas at an 80s gala. Totally recommend.

So cute!! Shoulder pads and all the sparkles!

This dress was adorable and even though I wish I had a small to try on I still rated it five stars because if it fit that's how I would feel about it. The medium was slightly roomy and the look I wanted I wished it was shorter so I pulled it up and that was easy to conceal because of the ruched fabric; however since it wasn't tight as soon as I walked it would fall down. I still think it looked fabulous and hubby wanted me to keep it. I'm 5'4" and about 136 pounds 34C chest, room left in chest.

Stand out in this sequined vibrant party dress

Get ready to rock the room with your sequins and giant sleeves and mini skirt! I tried this on in the store at the prompting of a stylist and loved it so much I held on to it for two weeks until I had a reason to wear it. It’s so fun and comfortable and over-the-top with the giant puffy shoulders, but it will flatter you everywhere thanks to the rouching. Fit is TTS. Love love love.

80s glam with a good balance of 2020

Loved this dress. It fits true to size and is a little tight in the mid-section. The sleeves are big and loose enough for movement. A truly unique piece by FLL. Showstopper moments

The picture on the website does not do this dress justice!!!

I don't ever post my picture with my reviews but I feel this dress needed to be reviewed with it. This dress does not by any means look like it looks on the model. It fits like a glove but the material is not restricting. I normally wear a size small or medium (size 4-6 pants) but went with XS on this one because I wanted it to accentuate my curves better. Used it for NYE and got tons of compliments. The sleeves are a see through material so it is sexy while still being conservative (or prevents you from getting cold). It is a must rent!! Specially if you want to venture into something different but that will compliment your body. P. S. Also de neckline looks nicer in person as it looks less grandma-style than it looks on the model.

MADONNA COULD NEVER

This dress looks like it's something your mom wore to her senior prom in the 80's, big hair and shoulder pads included. But surprisingly it is so flattering and so fun to wear. Also, I got a ton of compliments on the way my bum looked in it and for a brief second there I felt like I could relate to Kim Kardashian. That's all.

Needed a puff sleeve dress for an epic 80s holiday party.

Comfortable and can let your gut hang out while looking like a bombshell. Loved how the sleeves had a zipper. I safety pinned the removable shoulder pads in to stay in place

Tons of compliments

I normally wear a size 4-6 and the small fit me better than the medium. With so much fabric, the medium was a little much. The length was fairly short, but with the rouching style, I felt comfortable with this style. Great dress, beautiful color, got lots of compliments!!

Statement Piece

This has some beautiful detailing. I rented it as a backup for a night out in Austin and never got a chance to wear it. Looks better in person and ON than it does in the photos on the model. Accentuates legs/curves for sure. Would rent again.
