So many compliments on this dress! It wasn’t the most comfortable but looked great! 

I rented this last minute because the weather didn't work for my other dress. I just loved this blue lace number! A guest in the ladies room said I was "best dressed" and I felt like it! Definitely rent this one. Oh, the one con is that the sleeves are kind of itchy, but nothing to really worry about. 

I had to go a size up on this dress because of the sleeves, but I still loved the way this dress looked on me. The color is gorgeous and the style is very flattering. You will not have much of a range of movement in the arms but I think it is worth it. 

It is hard to move your arms, but it is well-fitted and beautiful. I would not recommend for an event where you need to dance!

This dress was absolutely beautiful, but I counted the minutes until I could get out of it. I have slightly larger arms, so I love off the shoulder ensembles, but the lace is completely unforgiving and dug into my skin (so much so that I had still had marks on my arms a day after I took off the dress, and I had only worn it for about 45 minutes). I couldn't move my arms at all, and the boning from the corset kept poking my back. Overall I had a terrible time in this dress, but maybe if my arms were thinner it would have been better? 

Wore as a wedding guest in March. Perfect for the still chilly weather. The lace is gorgeous and the off the shoulder and buttons make it just sexy enough. Fit was decent but a bit loose in the middle.  I wore without a bra. Loads of complements and photographs well.

Fit like a glove, size small.  Very flattering but the negative was that I couldn't raise my arms much above 90 degrees, so dancing freely was off limits.  Otherwise I would consider renting this again.

This dress was so pretty on. Received lots of complements. 

Ordered a size up due to other reviews and chest size. Good fit. Perfect for a formal dress wedding.


Elegant style. Buttons were difficult but never had to use them to put the dress on and off. A larger size than I typically take but fit well. 

The arms were really snug. I have naturally more muscular build and felt that my biceps and triceps were a bit large for these sleeves. Also, if only I had a bra that would not show (the front slit of the dress -which showed my chest off a bit- also showed my bra). I am not busty enough to wear it without a padded bra. 

I loved this dress. It was true to size and fit great. However there was no stretch/give so after a big wedding dinner it was a little tight plus I didn't realize the neckline restricts your arm movement so it was hard to dance. However I received lots of compliments! 

Gorgeous dress. Beautiful structure throughout. Countless compliments. 

The arms are tight and for me personally the chest was large, but it was beautiful and worked well. The lace and color are just lovely! 

Fit perfectly! The sleeves are a little difficult to put on so you have to take your time putting them on. Other than that, I adored this dress!

The dress was too long in the arms and runs big

Thankfully it didn't disappoint. It's true to size. The 6 is a UK 10 if that helps anyone (I find UK sizes more reliable than US). The lace is great quality. For that reason, i wouldn't recommend it for summer; it gets warm. So glad I rented! Got lots of compliments and blended in well at the Nigerian wedding and reception I attended.

I thought this dress was beautiful, loved the color and the way it looked.  It wasn't the exact feel I was going for so I didn't wear it, but I would totally rent it again for another event.  I did think it was pretty tight, the size 6 BARELY zipped up (130/5'6).

Fit a little loose because I am between sizes 
But I love the dress

Amazing dress - gorgeous rich color with cool lace detail. Super on-trend with the bell sleeves and off shoulder cut. Perfect dress for a fall wedding.

I could have worn the 4 in this, but it was a little tight around my chest so I went with the 6. 

My only complaint is that there was some kind of structural ribbing in the dress that started to dig into my back by the end of the night. Other than that, A+!

I am so happy I chose this dress despite my reservations. The lace, the button details, the flare features, the corset-style bust, I loved it all. Such a romantic fit. I'm a bit busty for my figure, so I wish that area fit me better. However, if you have a smaller chest size, this dress will be perfect for you. I loved it! 

This dress is gorgeous! The blue lace is incredible and it hugs the curves! The buttons on top are a nice touch and the sleeves are beautiful. However, it is snug on the hips so you need help to go to the bathroom since you can't pull the dress down and up without unzipping. The sleeves don't let you move your hands up. Overall I really liked the dress but I probably wouldn't rent again. My fear if I got a size bigger is it would have been tugging it constantly due to being off the shoulders. The 6 fit fine but just a few issues! Not a dress to rent if you need to move your arms around.
