I wore this dress for family photos and loved it! It was perfect for the vibe I was going for. Very flowy and elegant without being over the top. I will note that it is snug it the top and a little revealing but I made it work. 

The perfect summer dress when you want a little coverage — the cut is low but manageable, and the length was perfect for me (I could wear flats with it). Like wearing a very fancy nightgown!

Outdoor wedding. Super comfortable and classic while being flowy and casual enough for the event…yes still elegantly beautiful. 

Loved this one for an April wedding in Boise, where it was a little chilly. The sleeves were a great addition and it fit very well

Absolutely loved this dress for a black tie wedding we went to in San Antonio. It fit like a glove. It is pretty low cut but I was still able to wear a regular bra with minimal issues. I received tons of compliments about the dress both at the wedding and after when I posted photos.  Really really considered purchasing but don’t have enough formal events to attend on an annual basis to justify the cost. 

Low neckline but able to wear normal bra. Very good fit and long enough to wear heels I’m 5’8


Waist hit too high on my frame (I’m 5’10”), added a black fabric wrap belt to camouflage and it worked out fine. Neckline is a bit low but not too bad- could easily fix with tape if worried

The chest/rib area is very tight!!! Once I got it on, though, I felt so pretty!! It was a bit long for me, even with heels, but I didn’t care. Hides every problem area and accentuates your better features. Loved!! 

The colors were very vibrant and the fit is flattering. My only issue was the sleeve/shoulder area (hence 4 instead of 5 stars) - it’s a little tight and was slightly difficult to move your arms around. Putting on or taking off a jacket took some wiggling but still very doable. It’s very blue, so if that’s not your color I wouldn’t recommend this dress. Overall happy I rented it but didn’t consider buying. 

This is a beautiful dress and it worked well for a fall formal wedding. But, the chest is just so low cut. I had to pin it and it wasn't easy. The dress is also a bit long and dragged if I took my shoes off or had flats on. 

Really pretty dress but too big up top for me and I suspect sizing down would make it too tight in the waist. I did not wear it.
