It definitely ran big, a size 0 was big for a small bust. The dress is very heavy, which is good for most, but given the bigger top I was constantly pulling it up. Fun surprise is that it has pockets! I had many compliments all night though, so it made for great photos!

Wore this to a celebrity wedding and honestly got compliments by almost every guest. I honestly think I might have been the best dressed person there and it was kickass and unexpected. The dress is very comfortable but it ran large in the bust. I wear a 32 C and opted for the smaller size dress to make it work. Loved this dress. 

This was my first time renting the runway and I have never received so many compliments from complete strangers - I absolutely loved this dress!
Fit - Fits true to size. The perfect fit for me would have been right between a 2 and 4. The zipper didn't work on the 2 so I went with the 4 and it worked out just fine (just a little loose in the bust.) 
The dress was a little heavy for dancing at a summer wedding, but it was totally worth it!
Pick cute shoes because they really stand out with the cut of this dress! 
Also, this dress has POCKETS. Hallelujah!

I wore this dress to a formal wedding in California. It was a great mix of classy and fun. Easy to dance in if you hold onto the train. It was so comfortable. No fears of it falling down. I have pretty big hips proportional to the rest of me and this dress was perfect in adding volume in the right places without making me feel large. I knew this dress was beautiful (duh... that's why I picked it) but I don't think I've ever been sought out by so many people at an event to tell me they loved it. So that always feels good! I would definitely recommend.  

I loves this dress on. The zipper was difficult to zip up but once zipped it was perfect. 

This dress was pretty but quite heavy. A little large in the chest as other reviewers say but if I put a strapless bra on it probably would have been okay. Probably would have to pull it up all night though. I didn't end up wearing

Runs large! Ended up purchasing this dress in a 4, and even still was a little big up top (and U have a large chest). Could've easily done the 2!

My original order was messed up a few days before my event, so this was one of my backup styles but I’m so glad it worked out! Only cons were that the fabric is slightly heavy and the chest area fit pretty large. I was able to wear a regular strapless bra and still had a lot of room. Unfortunately fashion tape didn’t help because of the brocade fabric and I felt like I had to pull it up a lot, especially when dancing! Otherwise, a totally fabulous dress. 

this dress was great! worn on a cold december night, the heavy material kept me warm! pockets are always a plus when it comes to a dress, i couldn't stop putting my hands in them. the pink was beautiful and i love how the dress comes up in the front to peep your legs. lot's of compliments on it!
this dress runs a bit bigger, but is pretty tight at the top. i am normally a 4, and i wore a 2! it just fit around my bust and stayed up perfectly al night long.

I received lots of compliments on this dress, it looks much prettier in person. The pink color isn’t as light, so it can def be worn in the fall.
I could have worn the size 4 or 6, the 4 was a little tighter but after dinner I was wishing I went with the 6.
I am 5’4 and 128 pounds 

I didn't feel like spending big money on a dress and this was the wisest choice! I got so many compliments on this dress. The length was perfect for me with the heels I wore. I still wore a strapless bra under cause I wanted some support up top, but besides that it was perfect! 

I wore this dress for my engagement photos and I couldn't have been happier. I rented a size 2 and 4 because of other reviews regarding the zipper. The zipper is a bit of a pain due to the material but just takes a little help! The dress felt like a dream and it had pockets!! I felt like Cinderella! 

This dress was perfect for a black tie summer wedding.  The bust was a little tight. but the fit overall was great.  very flattering. i got compliments all night. and it was definitely something different and out of the ordinary.  And the pockets were AMAZING! 

Gorgeous fabric. The fabric is a little heavy but I wore this for a June wedding it was perfect. Very luxe feel.

This dress is so Carrie Bradshaw! It is made of the most luxurious , thick fabric with a subtle leopard print running throughout. The dusty rose color and the high/low cut made this dress so perfect for a spring ball I attended in Philadelphia, PA. And it has POCKETS. It is a beautiful mix of classic style with a splash of trendy. I lost track of the amount of compliments I received on this dress; it was such a hit! I typically wear a size 10 pant but because of my shape, (smaller on top, a little curvier on the bottom ;-) I am usually able to get away with a smaller size dress of this style and ended up wearing an 8. You just can't go wrong with this one! 

I would wear this dress over and over. I got so many compliments on the fit and the dress material! I'm 5'0 and was very worried it would be too long but with heels it was just fine. It was snug in the chest without being too tight or having to pull it up. It was so comfortable. I would rent this again and again. 

This dress fit true to size, the fabric was high quality, not heavy enough to be bothersome but definitely had some weight. I got so many compliments all night on how elegant and unique this dress is! Having a formal in February, it was perfect to keep me warmer since the material is thick. The train does drag a little, but it's not an issue as long as you're aware of it. Great dress overall! 

This dress, once fully zipped, zip like a gloves and I didn't have to worry about adjusting at all. The fit at the waist compliments my curves and I felt comfortable. 
The zipper gets caught midway- this happens to my rentals often. But if you have someone to help you zip it up it's definitely worth it the extra muscle, because it fits perfectly. I almost ended up using a larger size just to get the zipper to go up but the dress was too lose

I loved the fit of the dress, and I felt like a princess! It has pockets, too, which is so great. Very pretty color, as well!

I loved this dress, truly. It was fun, different and unique. I got a ton of compliments! The only thing I will say is that it made me look a little fat. It definitely isn't as slimming as a black dress but I didn't have to worry about sucking in all night because it is more loose. I had fun in it anyways!! Maybe I just needed a confidence check :) 

Great dress. Fits true to size. However it was very "used". Definitely aged but the material texture hid the damage. The material is thick so the bottom hem was starting to stretch and hang lower then it should so I had to use safety pins to place back to its proper height. 

Loved everything about it! Fit a little big. Maybe a little stretched from use. I have a 34 DD and wear size 6 jeans.
