Fun sparkle!!

I loved this dress! The color! The sparkle! If I could change anything about it, I would make it a little longer. Also, I was not able to wear a bra because the dress came up where my bra would show in the back. I wore stickies as a bra and that worked great!

Used this dress for a cool work shoot

The dress fit TTS. It has a beautiful sparkle. I was worried about the material being itchy but it wasn’t.

FUN dress

This dress is much more flattering in person. Love the color, shimmer. Fabric is stretchy, comfortable, and with a little shape wear very forgiving. Wore a regular bra. Only complaint is the back of the bottom half would pull down and reveal shapewear if I was not careful while bending over.

Love Love Love!

Absolutely love this dress! It hung so nicely on me it even covered by post baby weight in the right areas. Not heavy nor too slinky fabric. The perfect amount of shimmer on this magenta number!

So beautiful AND comfortable!

Wore this to a disco-themed formal event and got so many compliments!!! The material is comfortable and form fitted without being too tight. The strap detail made it feel sexy and classy at the same time. It also photographs beautifully! As a shortie, I’m always worried about length, but this was perfect ankle length (with or without heels). For reference, I’m 5’1, 135lbs, and a 4 was perfect.

Obsessed!

The perfect dress for a “Tickled Pink”-themed gala! The fabric has the perfect amount of stretch and is thick enough to be super flattering and comfortable. Incredible color and sparkle as well! I am 5’10” and the dress hit at mid-shin.

Stunner, compliments all night!

I cannot say enough how much I love this dress. The color is devine and with the sparkle, gorgeous. Not an exaggeration when I say I received compliments all night, from both women and men of all ages. It was a perfect dress for my husband’s holiday work party, conservative yet sexy. I would absolutely rent this dress again.

Great dress for a fall wedding - fabric is on the thicker side, so might run a little warm if you’re dancing the night away.

Great fall dress

Was the perfect dress for a fall wedding. The fabric has some stretch and is very lightweight. Didn’t get warm dancing all night and felt very comfortable. I think the sizing was perfect aside from the back slipping lower than I’d like (mostly while sitting).

Flattering!!!

I didn’t end up wearing this for the night out as planned (went with another choice) but wish I had somewhere else to wear this. + Super comfortable and flattering for curves + Can wear regular undergarments + lovely color + perfect for tall peeps + sexy without being overly revealing It is sparkly but that’s perfect for a night out or fancy event. It’s definitely not casual.

Got compliments and felt great! Thought the sizing was good, except I’m 5’4 and it seemed a little short on me. I had to pick the right shoes to go with it.

Sparkles make it formal

This dress was so cute, I bought it for Valentine’s Day date and even though we went to a nice restaurant it still felt wayyy to dressy with the sparkles and length (im 5’6) - which I read in another review but underestimated. And I love sparkles lol Would be so cute for a wedding type event and cut outs make it easy to wear a normal bra which was great! Bummed it didn’t work for me this time!

Better than the picture!

Really cute and a little unique. I wore it to a work holiday theme day with black spanx under it to hide the open sections and people thought that’s how the dress came and said they loved it. It was comfortable all day and I felt sparkly! I did have magenta armpits the next morning (freaked me out, briefly, until I realized why).

Flashy but not over the top

I loved this dress and felt great in it. The fabric is really pretty in person and beautifully shimmery. The cut out is fun but not too revealing. Lots of compliments! It’s hard to get in and out if since it’s really like two separate pieces. And it was a bit long on me — ankle length, which is longer than it looks on the model. (Sorry I didn’t get a better photo for that.) I was originally planning on wearing sequin booties with it, but that looked really weird since you couldn’t see my ankles. I went with a pointed toe stiletto. And it dyed my armpits pink! I think the fabric might have reacted with my deodorant. But I still loved the dress and felt great it and I was happy with my choice.

Wanted more

I felt this dress was missing something and I wanted more from it. It was cute and flattering for a tall hourglass figure (not great for when you feel bloated), but it felt very matronly and I ended up not wearing

Good not great

Just okay and not the best quality. Was hoping for a thicker fabric with a more luxury feel for a formal winter work gala. Ended up passing on this one. I will say the length for the sleeves and dress was perfect for a taller lady!

Just Ok

I rented this for a Christmas party but didn’t end up wearing it because I didn’t feel it was conservative enough for being in a work setting. It’s just ok. The strings are kind of awkward against the skin and the fabric is really thin. I wouldn’t rent it again. Bad photo because I had to grab a screen shot of a video I recorded.

Loved but rides up under the girls

Loved this look, especially with the lower back! Just rides up a bit under the gals. I am only a 34B so was a bit tight up top for my size unexpectedly. Still would rent again but would prob size up for that reason
