Lots of compliments, great color

This dress was great! I got tons of compliments on the color. It was a tiny bit shorter in the middle than expected, but still OK.

So cute

I didn't end up wearing this for the wedding, but I've rented this before and I love this dress. Comfortable and flattering. 10/10 would recommend. I'll probably buy it

SIZE UP SIZE UP!

What you don’t see in this picture is that I couldn’t zip this AT ALL but didn’t want to waste it cause it’s so cute otherwise lol so I wore a body suit and had an open back…sorry not sorry! Seriously think I should have even got the size 10 (I’m a usual size 6 with a full bust)

Lavender sophistication

Initially rented this for work, hoping the sleeves wouldn't be too much. They are a lot, so didn't feel it was appropriate for client meetings, but I liked the dress and wore it to Mass. The color is beautiful, and the sleeves and tulip detail on the bottom make this dress stand out from the everyday sheath. Loved that the tulip detail is sewn shut, so you don't have to worry about a gaping slit. Runs pretty TTS, so would recommend your normal size.

Fabric is TOO HEAVY for summer

I rented this an option to be a keynote speaker at a formal ladies luncheon, I did not end up wearing it. The color is perfect for summer but the fabric is very thick. This dress was too hot. I'm 5.7, 145 lbs snd the 8 fit

A 10 worked but I think a 12 would have been more comfortable. Overall a really great dress.

Even with Spanx you could still see a little something under the dress. It was a heavy fabric but it didn't make me hot and this day was like 95+ so that was nice. I got lots of compliments but if I would to do it again I would go with the 12.

Unforgiving

I had high hopes for this one because I’m loving this color and I generally like more modest styles. The fabric was surprisingly really unforgiving- just showed every bump and line - big and small.

Just okay

I thought this dress had a few cute things going for it--the sleeves and the color. I didn't think the fit was super flattering on me though. It hugs in the wrong places and wasn't great for an athletic body. Maybe better for a straight up and down type. The fabric is thicker than it looks too but also somehow shows every line, including your bra.

Currently 5 months pregnant. It had perfect stretch. You can wear a bra with it and the material was very sturdy. The sleeves were way cute too.

The sleeves on this dress were great and super flattering. It's a well shaped dress but the fabric has a little stretch to make it comfortable. So flattering!

A tad short in the torso for me (I'm 5'10) but not unwearable! Overall great color and the puffy sleeves are cool without being overwhelming.

Cute and flattering. The material is thick which was perfect for the cold weather. The soft lavender color stands out because of its unique shade. I loved this dress

Retro in Lavender

I felt like a gogo girl in this dress - I don't usually wear above the knee dresses. I got a ton of compliments on the color and the dress in general. More than one woman my age (late 40s) told me I looked "bombshell." I'll take it!

Baptism

Fabric was a beautiful medium weight and lovely color. Wore to my daughter's baptism, 3 months postpartum. Both sizes fit but went with the larger size as it was more flattering in the stomach and hips. The top was a little loose but not baggy and the elastic around the sleeve helped keep them from falling all day. Overall a beautiful dress!

Beautiful color, TIGHT fit

This dress is beautiful and vibrant. Great for spring. The fabric is thick, but unforgiving. Shows every bit of jiggle in the tummy and either a toned stomach, pantyhose, or Spanx are a must. I sized up from my normal 6 to an 8, and I probably still should have gone up another size or two. Got tons of compliments, though!

Lovely lavender dress!

Pros: amazing color, great fabric, really pretty skirt - though wrinkled, they fell out on their own after being hung, i got lots of compliments. Length is work appropriate (I'm 5'8, business formal environment). Fun sleeves! Cons: not my style, runs a bit large. I'm traditionally a 2, but the waist was loose on me. Would be good for shorter waisted people (see pic on me, it hits high). Sleeves weren't for me so I added a black blazer and loved the look.

A little "bridesmaid-ey"

Perhaps it's the color combined with somewhat thick fabric, but this felt like a bridesmaid dress. Fit is okay, does show undergarment lines even though the dress wasn't tight, so I wore a slip. Also a little voluminous in the bust area. Don't think I will wear it more than once.

Vibrant color

The fabric was nice and thick. Color was beautiful and vibrant for the church occasion. Style of the sleeves were a nice touch. However, my lacy underwear's texture was visible and there is no tummy control.

No flattering.

Too big up top. Too tight in the middle. You could see the seams of my tights. Good color. Cute sleeves but I felt uncomfortable. His in my office most of the day.
