This is a beautiful dress, but not meant for any mamas who have a little belly after having kids. Because of the cut of the dress I couldn’t wear spanks that come up to my bra line. And any tummy control undergarments I did try showed a very distinct line where it ended. Ultimately I did not wear or use this dress. If you’re super thin this dress will work for you. 

Perfect for a wedding; really flattering fit and gorgeous color. As others said it was a little tight on top (tough to zip)--and my chest is definitely on the smaller side!--but once i got it zipped up it wasn't bad. The straps did dig into my shoulders/neck a bit, but totally worth it! Got tons of compliments. 

Did not want to return this dress! It was one of the best dresses I've ever worn. So comfortable, strapless bra was perfectly hidden, and laid so beautifully. It didn't bother me, but there isn't any stretch to the dress, so if you're between sizes - there really isn't any give! 

The dress looked great and received many compliments!
I ordered a 6 with the back up of an 8 after reading the reviews.
The 6 when I put it on, hit in all the right places, length great, neckline, not too tight  on waist. ONLY issue was it wouldn't zip to the top easily. My rib cage/back didn't allow for the zipper to zip to the top without risking damaging zipper. So I put on the 8 which zipped without any problem, just the dress was a bit longer and looser than I would have wanted for the evening, but worked out fine.  Narrow or petite body types and smaller busted this dress will fit true to size, all others have a back up of 1 size larger!

Pros is it's a comfortable material . Cons are if you needed to wear a bra, it's hard with this dress because of the cutouts 

This dress was beautiful. Was a little tight around chest compared to the waist which was much more flowy. Adjustable straps were great because this was a little uncomfortable around the neck at times. But nothing that bothered me too much. Also no room for a bra, just rock it 

A bit tight in the chest, and I'm not a very busty person to begin with, otherwise fit and felt perfect. Lots of compliments all night!

Rented for a wedding and on almost any other day it would have been great but, dies to the high temps and humidity this dress became wildly uncomfortable.
Top: 32DD and fit decently, no bra but sticky boobs worked well...until I spent all night trying to make sure my boobs weren't falling out of the sides of the dress
Length: 5'2" and dress hit at a good tea length 
The cutouts al hit me in the right places but were just slightly too baggy

Beautifully made and cut dress. The cut-outs are classy and forgiving. The color is a true red and will stand out at any event. Needed help zipping past the seam at torso but otherwise fabulous. Ended up buying it! 

Rented this for a formal graduation dinner. The fit was a little weird and sadly this dress does not photograph well. 

Pros: cut allows you to breath while eating and covered in the bust area.

Cons: length in front was too long so looked slight awkward (hit below my knees). Top part of dress was too long for me (I have a short torso) so cut outs in sides did not sit flat...led to the fat bulge look in photos. 

A bit tight fitting and I didn't see any difference between the sizes. This dress was beautiful and comfortable and the high low added someone special! 

The fit is great, especially for petite girls like me that have a hard time finding a dress where the waist doesn’t hit at the hips. The cut outs are very flattering. I am large chested so the top part was kinda tight but it held everything in without a bra, I just wore breast petals. Size up if between sizes or if you don’t want the chest part to be tight.

LOVED this dress. Probably would rent it (or buy it) again! I usually wear either a 4 or a 6, depending on sizing. For this one, I opted for the 6 because the waist/hip area had a bit more breathing room and I didn't have to worry about the cuts falling awkwardly. I will say the halter neck was very flattering, but by the end of the night the straps had created a lot of friction around my armpits (kind of like when a blouse is just a teeny bit too small). I wore sticky boobs because there was a lot of awkward room in the top without them that created some weird creases, but you should be fine if you normally fill out tops. Got tons of compliments and was a great option to wow and celebrate with some old college friends!!

Flirty center and side cutouts and revealing strappy sport back make this genuine true red dress an unexpectedly sexy yet demure rental that is sure to please. 
I'm small chested so I went braless, which I rarely do, but I could've worn a sticky no-show bra to pad and perk the girls and that would've worked too. By sizing up (I'm usually a 4 in fit n flare styles) it had good boob coverage and skimmed my wider hips in a flattering fashion. 

I was really excited for this dress but unfortunately it was not a good fit. The top was perfect but the bottom was too loose which caused it to bunch in the front and back. I think if I went a size down the bust would have been too tight. 

I was very excited to wear this dress because I had recently lost over 20 pounds and have been working out. I'm 5'7", 150 lbs. My normal pant size now is an 8, my tops are usually size 6, 36C. The size 8 dress felt like it was made for me. Everybody loved the dress, as an absolute showstopper in a sea of black. The cutouts are extremely flattering. I was able to wear a midrise pair of boyshort Spanx without it showing (and through the cutouts, I could discreetly pull up my spanx if they started bunching lol! Bonus!) I wore a NuBra underneath but contemplated not wearing any bra which would've probably would've been fine too. I absolutely loved this dress, don't even worry about considering another dress. Just get this one!  

The dress fit great. It completely stood out in a sea of white and I got so many compliments. It was a little longer in the back than I expected but I assume that was due to my height. With heels on it was perfect. I would definitely rent this dress again. 

I wore this to my company holiday party for Casino night. The color of this dress is gorgeous. It's fitted on the hips so if you have larger hips go up a size. It was perfect. I would totally rent again. 

Super flattering and very comfortable. Quality material that doesn’t wrinkle or cling. 

The only reason I gave this a 4 is because the straps really dug into my neck. Everything else was great. The length is perfect and I was so comfortable. The cuts in the top of the dress give it enough to not feel completely conservative. This is a go-to dress for weddings/events I will attend in the future. 

Thank goodness for the back up size! I'm a size 0/XS but needed the size 2 in this dress. I'm small busted and could barely zip up the size 0. So I tried on the size 2 and although it was a little loose, I could zip it up and breath. Overall I loved the dress, and received many compliments. There was a bit of puckering around the bust since it was a little loose however,  when the dress was hanging on the hanger I could tell the fabric had some ripples around the bust area. 

I am athletic build and the top portion of the dress was snug.  I ended up going two sizes up which made the bottom half a little loose but not enough to discard the dress.  Wearing the nude heels definitely helped elongate my legs.  I also wore sticky bra (clipped together cups), the top was tight enough to flatten my chest so I had to fit some kind of push up inside but all and all, it worked out great!  I only gave it 3 stars because I think the top half and bottom half are not proportionate.  

The dress is a great color that really stands out in a crowd.  The chest fit is a little tight and I couldn't fit a strapless bra underneath.  If you have a larger chest this would be a tight squeeze.
Overall highly recommended!

I wore this to a fall wedding and absolutely loved it! The dress was very comfortable. I wore a sticky bra and tightened the straps for perfect coverage. Length was a little long on me (I'm 5'1) but the high-low cut made it work. The dress was slightly big around the waist but it didn't show. I received a ton of compliments and would recommend this dress to anyone!

Awesome fit. Cut outs weren't too big and I felt confident. Lots of compliments. 

The perfect dress for a summer time wedding. It was light, breathed well and very flattering. Loved wearing it and telling folks where its from.

This was actually a back up for me, but after trying it on knew this was the dress for an outdoor garden wedding. So flowy and not too constricting at all (it was a really hot day, so I was so glad to not be squished into a more form-fitting dress). The cutouts are sexy but not inappropriate by any means, so if you're looking for a great dress that shows off a little but not a lot, this is a great option. The color is absolutely perfect for a summer wedding, and paired with a few gold accessories and a coral lip it's a real standout look. 

It's a true red. Very comfortable, figure flattering and great value. 

The straps for the top of the dress are adjustable in back, so it gives you a custom fit. The full skirt on the bottom make so it's not too tight throughout. 

It's a gorgeous dress! 

I wore this for a wedding and got a lot of compliments. I was a bit worried that it was a bit too revealing/risque for a wedding but it ended up being perfect. My trouble area is my stomach, back and having the right fit around my chest, and this dress was fine all around! I DID have to wear a sticky bra as my strapless was too wide and showed through.

I was unsure about ordering this dress, and ultimately, it wasn’t perfect, but I still loved it. The fabric was much lighter than I was anticipating. Even though the straps are adjustable, I was a little self-conscious that the material itself didn’t offer more support. The slits were fun and not overly revealing, although the fabric had a tendency of falling a little oddly under the chest. Regardless, it was perfectly imperfect, my favorite rental so far, super comfortable, and overall I felt confident and fantastic wearing it.

I normally wear black. So this vibrant color was a nice change of pace. I received tons of compliments at the wedding and via IG. Wore minimal gold accessories and strappy sandals. It showed the right amount of skin and was a perfect comfortable fit. I like showing my arms, shoulders and back. Therefore this was the perfect dress. 

The top of the dress runs really small and is extremely tight (I'm usually between a 2 and 4 and the 4 was super tight on the top). The bottom was really loose given the shape of the dress. 

I loved this dress!! Received tons of compliments all night long. I normally wear a 12 but went with the 14 just so it wouldn't squeeze my lower bra fat in the back. I wore a backless bra for that reason as well. I'm 5'9" and the front of the dress hit just below my knees. I would definitely rent again!

I loved this dress. It runs very small around the bust so I would recommend sizing up.  I usually wear a 10 and I had to get a 14 to fit my chest, thank goodness for the adjustable straps. I wore it to a wedding and it was a hit!  It was fun to dance in! I will say that this dress does not breathe though! I was at an outdoor wedding and it was hot in the sun. Definitely not light and airy....it is very well lined. I felt sexy and confident in this dress! Everyone complimented me on it all night! 

Great dress for those who are smaller up top and a length that can work on anyone (I am super short). Never wrinkled and the color was amazing.

this dress was great for a friends wedding I was going to alone. It was comfortable and I loved the cutouts! Im 5'0 and the dress was slightly longer than I would have prefered but it didnt get in the way. I wore a 3-4inch heel. I received so many compliments on this dress! it was a little "bunchy" around the stomach area, and you couldnt always see the front cutout. it was so comfortable. 

It's the perfect balance of classy and sexy, with just enough skin showing to catch eyes without being at all out of place at a formal military dinner. If you want to show off that waist-line... go for it! 

I wanted to love this dress because it looks so pretty in the picture and on the hanger but as someone who is 5'4 and hourglass but athletic it just sort of hung on me and wasn't overly flattering. Not unflattering necessarily just not anything really special.  I wore it anyway for a holiday party and it was fine just didn't feel like anything special.  Maybe the size 2 would have been better as it would have been slightly slimmer at the waist down but ended up wearing the size 4 as the size 2 top just felt snug around my chest. 

If you are hippy or pear shape with smaller chest, be careful. You will need to size up to fit the bottom but the top may be loose. Bottom portion did not have as much stretch as I would have liked.

I've been eying this dress in black, but decided to go for it in red for a special Valentines date with my hubby.  It was sexy without feeling like I was trying too hard - perfect for the occasion.  Sometimes cutouts can create unflattering surprises but these were not too tight, ill-placed or too scandalous - just right.  The longer length balances out the open back.  I would rent this dress in any color.
