LOOOVE this! Pros: Such a beautiful color! Fit really great, too. It has some stretch making it easy to move around and a slit in the back helps. Material is thick so you feel snug and supported. Con: Only thing I didn’t love are the straps, which look more like hanger straps than actual straps.

I’m obsessed with this dress. The color is so beautiful and brown is just such a cool, underrated color. Wore it for a fall wedding in Florida. The slit is HIGH so I did pin it about 4” lower so it wasn’t so leggy. I also wore the bigger size because I have a butt and thighs so I knew the slit would look even higher, which I didn’t want. The cut of this dress is perfect. So incredibly flattering. The material has a bit of a stretch and is super form fitting. Though do be warned that nearly every spanx and bra line can be seen because of that. I really cannot say enough though how much I love this dress. Even people the next day were still complimenting it. I’ll probably rent it again one day.

This dress is STUNNING. It’s so incredibly flattering and *comfortable* which was important for me. About me: fairly small chest, flatter stomach, larger hips and a bigger booty. I get self conscious when things are too short since I’m worried my butt will be out of my thighs will look really large. But this dress only highlighted the best. It was fitted around my butt but didn’t squeeze me. It had the most beautiful draping across the stomach area making me look thin (and unworried about drinking beer/a large dinner). The top was perfect showing off some shoulder but not too low where a strapless bra was peaking out. I seriously can’t say enough about how much I love this dress. My only regret is that I wore it to my own rehearsal dinner / welcome party so everyone has now seen it. For sizing, I’m usually in the ballpark of a large 6 or small 8 and I ordered a 10.

I am obsessed with this dress. Pros: It is the PERFECT dress for renting because it's super interesting/memorable but you probably wouldn't want to wear it again after everyone has seen it. The wedding I was going to was supposed to be more formal but then got dressed down. This still worked because of the laidback silhouette and shear bottom. Cons: straps were a bit big and kept falling off. I have this issue a lot though so maybe it's me and not so much the dress. Was a bit long, too.
