I loved this dress. Material is very thin, but makes it very comfortable. I had to be mindful throughout the night to make sure the dress was covered my side boobs. Can only wear sticky boobs/ braless. The strings tend to not stay tucked in, either. Regardless, I felt beautiful in this dress and wore it all night and loved it! Hugs all the right places while not being too tight. Leg slit is high!!

Wore this to the ballet in Miami with my very stylish husband. I’m a low maintenance girl and this dress does all the work for you so it was perfect for me lol

I was so excited about this dress and unfortunately, it was a weird fit. There was excessive ruching that made the dress look weird from the front. 

Loved this dress, especially the backless situation. Couldn’t tell in the pictures online, but the detailing is gorgeous!! 10/10 would rent again- felt super great in it and got lots of compliments!

Absolutely would rent again for a wedding, was absolutely perfect and so flattering

I wore this to a black tie wedding and I think it was appropriate for the event, fit okay, and I even got some compliments. I will say that for me, I thought the ruching on the stomach was unflattering (kind of created more of a belly). It’s almost loose over the stomach but tight across the hips which was not flattering. I also tried the Large to see if maybe the medium was just too small for me, but the large had the same fit issue and was also too loose on top. It was my only option so I wore it, and I think it was fine, just something to consider about the fit! 

This dress is stunning, but the material is very thin, I had to squeeze in due to no zippers, and the string on the backside of the neck made me nervous only being latched to a small hook. 

Honestly surprised how well this fit bc I'm petite and susceptible to side boob in normal sized dresses. This dress fit perfectly I didn't need tape or pins anywhere! Material is very light/thin with a black slip underneath and the floral pattern has almost velvety feel.

Okay I LOVED this dress, length & slit were perfect and the back was great. I did have to safety pin the part at the neck as it was a little weird. So the way I have it the neck is pulled up like a high neck but if you use the actual clip (you can see if hanging down the back of my neck, that’s where the normal clip would attach, but I just didn’t use that) it hangs down a bit more like a cowl neck. If I did that, the chest area was too loose and gave me full side boob. So I chose to pull the material up around my neck. I could’ve tried to pin the sides instead but I think fashion tape would’ve looked weird. I really loved the dress, but just something to keep in mind!

Didn’t and up wearing because I was going to a more whimsical wedding but super sexy but not lascivious because of the beautiful textured flowers 

A little loose around the chest- needed to use double sided tape. Slit is very high! I received a lot of compliments on the dress though and it was super comfortable and fit well. 

This dress is stunning. The color is beautiful and the slit is ultra sexy. I will just say though, the cut of it is not forgiving to sit and then also for those of us trying to hide a little side love handles. LOL. I think if you have a smaller bust, it'll be great. But it's definitely a wonderful piece. 

So comfortable! And the open back is so nice! 

I absolutely loved this dress! The style the color, everything. However, sizing it was a little difficult. I have larger hips (43in) so the L fit me but what fairly tight. A M wouldn’t even go over my hips and the XL was good around my hips but too big at the top. I ended up wearing the L and loved it but the slit would keep riding up because of the fit over my hips. I think that’s just the struggle with the style though.

I was super bummed at first with availability for a last minute rental for a fall wedding. I usually look for newer pieces this one had been around awhile. The fit ended up being super flattering, the fabric texture and pattern was very unique and lovely, and the low drape-ey back was just the right amount of sexy. 

The back of the dress is gorgeous, but the waist/hip line of this dress bunches really weirdly and adds a couple of inches because there really is no structure to the dress. I don’t think it’s at any fault of the dress, because it is a halter dress that intentionally drapes, but the fabric and pattern is not very forgiving if you have slightly wider hips. I tend to like to wear things that accentuate my curves, and this dress does not do that. Otherwise, I would’ve kept it!

The slit makes this dress... it was HIGH. The fit is a bit weird--rouching, halter stratp, slit. I had to use a tiny elastic to "tighten" the halter so that the bust did not sag on me, but it worked just fine and was comfortable. Other than the creative fitting, it was a gorgeous dress for a fall wedding with just the right amount of sexy. Lots of compliments!

Fit beautifully. I got tons of compliments on this dress. Was very comfortable. I am a C cup and had no need for fashion tape. I danced for hours and it was great.

Loved this dress and didn’t want to take it off. Wore this to a enchanted garden theme Gala. The open back is beautiful. Like other reviews tape was used to hold down areas to prevent side boob as I am small chested. My husband loved it and I was sad to send it back. Petite size was a plus because I’m 5’2.

The slit is quite high so beware when sitting. It also kind of bunches on the lower tummy area but overall very cute and felt great in this dress. 

I loved it, got so so many compliments. The dress is nice & light for if you have a southern wedding and it’s really hot. The slit on the side is very high though when you sit so either bring a safety pin (didn’t work for me personally) or make sure you remember when sitting to cover your thigh. 

Ordered M and L, ended up going with the large! 

This dress fit well and was very breathable for a great time on the dance floor. 

I gave it a 4 stars instead of 5 simply because I personally was not a huge fan of the pattern. It made me feel extremely pale (I swear I’m usually not this pale) and felt a bit more “dark” than what I usually go for.

But if you like the pattern I would definitely rent! I wore this to an outdoors formal wedding and had a great time, lots of compliments and was very comfortable all night. 

PS. Yes the slit does go up a healthy amount but nothing crazy! 

This dress was fab! I loved the length! The high neck line with the open back was sexy, while still being elegant! I ended up purchasing! 

Loved the dress for a hot spring afternoon. Elegant yet sexy because of the open back. Didn’t need fashion tape. I have a larger bust so was very pleasantly surprised that the material in the front covered my chest area with maybe a slight side boob. I also have large hips so had to pull up the dress to side to avoid it digging into my hips or possibly ripping when sitting down. Highly recommend!

This dress is by far the favorite I’ve ever rented! I got so many compliments and felt like a million bucks. The slit and back were just enough for me to feel sexy without constantly tugging on the dress throughout the night. The draping/ruching that some renters complained about I actually felt was very forgiving if you don’t have an absolutely flat stomach. I think it probably fits best on those with a slender pear shape— I’m not sure I would have loved it so much if I was larger on top. 

The ruching was a little in flattering but tape and a few pins made it work! 

Beautifully cut dress. However, there is no zipper so a little difficult to put on!  I am usually a size small and the XS fit perfectly - even with extra fabric remaining in the front to camouflage any "difficult" spots. 

The dress itself was a but tight but with spanks I made it work. What didn't work was the bust area. There was not nearly enough space for my 36DDD chest.

I felt AMAZING in this dress!! Beautiful, sexy AND comfortable! I actually forgot to review it at the time i wore it & here i am a year later reviewing it because i actually got on rtr today to see if the dress was for sale, i loved it that much! 

Overall I really liked this dress and would recommend it to a friend!
Size: I ordered the ML and MR and tbh couldn't tell a difference between the two lengths. I'm tall (5'9") and both were to the floor with ~3" heels. 
Pros: The print, high neck, and open back are really pretty in person! Got tons of compliments. 
Cons: Not too noticeable but the top was somewhat baggy and my fashion tape didn't stay on super well. 

I wore this dress on NYE - love the slit and neckline but bunches a little weird around the waist which made it a little less flattering but overall cute dress!

I really liked this dress and got a lot of compliments on it. Loved the open back! There was a lot of extra material at the top, but I also have a very small chest. Material is also more thin than it appears. I’m 5’1” about 135 lbs (usually wear a 4 or a 6) and the small-petite fit great. 

This dress was so comfortable and amazing! It was a little bit bigger around the bust area because the back is open so I probably could've worn a medium, but other than that it was beautiful & had no other issues!

Loved this dress but it wasn’t the most flattering fit as I have a bit of a tummy and my booty made the skit ride up a little too high when I sat! The top however was very comfortable and I didn’t feel insecure even though I forgot my fashion tape 

This dress was so flattering I felt amazing in the dress. I was a bit concerned as I didn’t feel my side boob region was safe, I wish I had tape to secure the sides but other than that it was perfect! 

Wore to wedding, tons of compliments all night. Fit was extremely comfortable. 

I really loved the dress. However had to run out and find double sided tape because the top side portion was way too open for my girls. I felt like I was constantly double checking for slippage which became a little annoying. But the dress looked great.

I wasn’t sure if I’d like the neckline on this dress but ended up loving! The slit is high and definitely tighter if you have wide hips, but I was able to dance and sit comfortably in it. Love the low back too!
