perfect for black tie

I loved this dress. I'm usually between a 4 and a 6 depending on how tight the dress runs through the hips, and ended up going with the 6. I was relieved it wasn't too loose on top, which I have tons of issues with, so it's possible that this runs small! It looks good both off the shoulder and with the strap pulled up. I'm 5'7" so I was worried about choosing a length, and the regular was plenty long, looked perfect with my 2.5 inch heels. It did wrinkle a bit at the bottom, and steaming wasn't a ton of help, but it wasn't too noticeable.

Pretty but didn't wear

Got this as a backup when one of my sizes in another dress was unavailable. I can see this dress being super flattering for most body types. I usually need dresses to be a little forgiving in the hip/stomach area and this definitely delivers. I've always had trouble with the busy on strapless dresses being too loose, however, so size down if that's an issue for you. The color is nice, you don't see green a lot!

Stunning color!

The color is so flattering and even more gorgeous in person. I was worried about the 4 not fitting--I'm typically a 4 or 6, heavier on the bottom--but with Spanx it worked perfectly, and actually was loose in the bust. Plan on fashion tape if you have narrow shoulders/small chest relative to your hips. The length and shape are so clean and elegant, cannot recommend this dress enough!

Obsessed with this dress!

I couldn't be happier with this dress. Got so many compliments on it, it's easy to move in and is so flowy and fun. The style could work for almost any formal event, day or night, and the material is really high quality. Heavier than I expected! My only fit gripe was that it was a little big in the bust, and I'm a C, but I have a narrow chest/shoulder area so that's a typical problem for me. Will definitely rent again!

Really strange fit

Ugh, this dress. It definitely does run small, so size up, but if you have a smaller bust relative to your hips, you're going to have weird gaps in the top of the dress. I usually wear a 4 or 6 depending on the style of dress, and the 6 was uncomfortably tight around my stomach, and squished my bust down so much I kind of looked like a kindergartner playing dress up, but somehow still gapped around the arms. The 8 fit my hips much better but looked totally ridiculous on top. I really wanted to make it work, but it just was not gonna happen.

So elegant

Wish I'd had taken a photo of these, they are so gorgeous! Perfect amount of sparkle and I couldn't feel them all night, and I have pretty sensitive ears as far as that goes.

perfect dress!

I looooved wearing this dress. It's the kind of thing you'd wear to seduce a secret agent before revealing you are also a secret agent. I ended up sizing up (probably didn't have to, but it was for a work party and I didn't wanna be quite that showstopping) so it was looser in the bust than I'd have liked. I can see this being so versatile, can't recommend this dress enough!
