Loved the flow of this dress. The fabric was soft and lightweight. For me the rib cage of this dress was a little tight based on the empire waistline. 

Perfect and comfortable dress I wore to church on Easter Sunday.

I got my usual size, the fit was a bit odd- the chest area was tight and the hip area was loose, but overall I liked the maxi. It has beautiful ruffle details on sleeve and throughout. I wore a bralette as it is quite a bit low cut v-neck.  

I wore this dress to a summer wedding at a winery and it was great. I loved the fit on my waist and chest. It was very flattering for someone with a larger chest (34 DD). The only problem was the front two pieces of fabric hanging from the neckline. They are bulky and I thought took away from the overall shape and pattern of the dress. I ended up rolling them up and tucking them in. It was not noticeable and totally worked. 

Loved this for a formal spring wedding in Florida.  Didn't realize the bow when I rented, but it was fine!

Very flattering fit, comfortable, lots of compliments on the pattern! 

A perfect dress, got so many compliments!! I should have sized up one for my boobs but other than that the fit was perfect!

Comfortable, a little loose, able to dance all night and got so many compliments! 

Worn for a destination wedding and it was a hit! I rented both size 2 and 4 and actually ended up wearing the size 2 without a bra but both fit well! I'm 5'9 and wore 1/2 inch heels and still had lots of dress left on the length 

This dress is perfect for a summer evening wedding. It’s comfortable and light and flattering in all the right places. It is long however; I am 5’10” and I wore a small heel and the dress still hit the floor. I also found the chest area to be tight (I am a 36C) but overall I would recommend this for any occasion. It’s a fun, feminine and flirty dress. 

Wore this to a late summer wedding. Super comfortable and loved the ruffled details on the skirt and the sleeves. Super fun to dance in. Also looks good with flats (dusted the ground just right). 

I'm so glad I rented this dress! Kind of a random choice for me but I was attracted to the color. I'm usually a 6 but rented a 4 (all that was available on Unlimited) which I wore comfortably, so I would say this dress runs slightly large. It's beautifully made and was very comfortable for my friends' outdoor cabin wedding in late July. The neckline, ruffles and flow of the skirt made it stand out, and I felt very special wearing it. I'd highly recommend this unique dress!

I wore this dress to work and received tons of compliments. The fit is a tad on the larger side but relatively TTS. I sized down and it was not tight in any area. I'm 5'7" and was able to wear this with flats without the back dragging. No pockets, that was the only bummer!

This was the perfect dress for my friend's gorgeous outdoor wedding- formal without being stuffy and fun and flirty and comfortable!

This dress fit like it was made for me. I debated buying it. I am a large 36ddd and it fit wonderful. Was easy to wear a low cut bra as well. Women stopped me all night to compliment me on it. If you are not large chested I might skip it as I don't know what you would do with the extra room up top. 

Overall, the dress  fits true to size (perhaps a tad bit large). I usually wear a 4 or 6, but went with the 4 because it fit better around the empire waist. I wore the dress to a June, Virginia wedding with 80+ degree temps. It was a lot of dress to wear during the day time, but perfect once the sun went down into the high 60s. The dress is a beautiful color with great coverage on the arms and bust. I'm 5'9" and wore a 4-inch block heel, but truly only need 2 inches to get the dress off the ground. It's a perfect wedding guest dress and would highly recommend!

This dress is absolutely gorgeous! The ruffles add a flirty edge and the bottom is so flowy, you will want to just twirl for hours in it! The fit is a bit big (I rented a 0R and it was not fitted around my rib cage or waist) but it's barely noticeable! A MUST for a summer wedding, trip to the vineyards, etc!

Viva Aviva does it again. I religiously rented from this designer last summer for wedding season and I am happy to share that I will doing the same thing this year. If you're the kinda gal that doesn't want to wear the same old boring cocktail dress all season long, this is the dress (and the designer) for you. Lovely patterns, comfy/light fabrics, and ruffled in alllll the right places. And it doesn't hurt I get tons of compliments when I wear it. As far as sizing, I sized down because it was flowy and I have a small chest but usually I order true to size. No wedding plans? No worries. I wore this with black booties and a leather jacket to work too. 

Not sure I'll wear this one. It's very busy - the pattern, the ruffles, the tie in front...think it's too much for my 5'4 frame. 

The sizing is very true to size though. Plenty of room in the bust too.
