I absolutely loved this dressed! I wore this to a beach rehearsal dinner and got lots of compliments. It's a super fun and chic dress I would definitely rent it again. My only issue with it is if you're short like me (5'2") it's very long, I had to fake hem it with fashion tape. It was a bit of a hassle but worth it. 

I got this for a an awards gala and it was perfect
 Just he right amount of coverage versus sexy. Color is a bit more fall/autumn feeling than pictures. I am 5.5,  124 lbs, 34b chest, and wear a size 27 jean. I am usually between a U.S. size 2 and size 4. (I am smaller on the top than the bottom). I ordered a UK size 6R and it fit perfectly. 

Wore this in the Northern California wine country. It definitely belonged there. I didn't want to take it off! Very comfortable. I didn't wear a bra. 

I wore this for my book launch event and the dress stole the show! 🧡 Dress was definitely too baggy in the chest, but ordered the wrong sizes. An 8 or 6 would have been perfect. Either way, the dress still looked great and felt amazing! I received so many compliments! 

Wore this for a cute dinner and going out on the town in Mexico City. Loved how unique and bold it was! A bit too open on the side but nothing anyone but me noticed. 

Wore this to a Colorado wedding LDW and it was perfect! I had a camel wrap to wear with it since we were at the top of a mountain for the ceremony and the fabric is really thin/light. It was perfect with the wrap and once we got to dancing I ditched it and felt great in this dress! Enough breathing room yet still super flattering & gives you shape. I am 5’7/155lbs and 16 weeks pregnant (very small belly, almost look just bloated LOL) but was still comfortable and flattering! 

Gorgeous dress and fit perfectly - it was so comfortable. The back is sexy but classy - perfect for a beach wedding

So comfortable, adjustable straps in the back made it easy to tailor and tighten, wore it on a 100 degree day and it was breezy, stylish perfection. 10/10!

Beautiful dress! The low and open back means you’re limited with shapewear options. Length and fit were perfect. 

Love this dress! Fit perfectly and great as the straps are adjustable in the back.

I wore for a wedding in Southern California. Literally so beautiful. I was so nervous because they didn’t have my size, but the bigger size worked due to the adjustable back straps! Got compliments all night. 

I’m 5ft and the length was just perfect.  

Wore a US 2 - such a great color/ vibrant print - it's an open back so you can't wear a bra. There are 2 straps across the back that you can adjust to make it fit just right. The one sleeve is very comfortable & billowy. Print is just show stopping! 

This dress was a hit at my birthday dinner. 

Everyone loved this dress. I wore it to a fall wedding in Canada and it was perfection. Business in the front, party in the back. I’m 5’5” and the length was perfect with only a 2.5” heel. I was able to dance all night without sore feet. 

Super cute, true to size, I probably should have got 10 (my normal size), lots of compliments :)

Literally what everyone does when you walk in the room! The adjustable straps in the back make this dress that much more fantastic.

So lightweight, true to size. Adjustable back straps help hold the dress in place. Tons of compliments when I wore this to a work party. 

Loved wearing this dress!  The fit and back were so flattering.  I did end up getting a larger size thinking Shona Joy typically fits smaller on my hips, but I’d suggest getting your normal size in this.  The adjustable straps do make it possible to accommodate a large size, though.  Rent it!

Little large in the chest for small chested women—recommend sticky cups. 

Dress code: colorful formal
This dress was perfect for the dress code! The open back was the star of the show! 
Only set backs were the lack of available sizes and the length of the dress. Made do with the 4R and used temporary hem tape to get through the night. Would recommend this dress to a friend!

Low back so wasn’t able to wear to the church wedding but wore to the welcome party instead! 

Wore this to a Cape Cod wedding and it was perfect. I’m on the shorter side and it hit full length on me. The strap is adjustable so I could tweak the fit a bit. The floral print felt super summery but the colors still worked great for a night event. Fabric was comfy and didn’t show sweat—huge win for a hot day!

I got lots of compliments on this dress. The straps in the back are adjustable so it was almost perfect, but the part that goes over my lower back was just a tad too big, a non issue though! Loved this dress!

This was exactly what I wanted for a black tie wedding. As a petite, just under 5'1'' woman, wearing this dress with heels was justtt doable. Everything else fit great, I highly recommend.

I loooved this dress. It was silky smooth, light weight and extremely flattering. Got tons of compliments all night... I am usually an 8 but I ended up sizing down because that one fit better. I was not a huge fan of the sleeve in photos because it was a little bulky HOWEVER in person I absolutely loved it. I was nervous about the back being too open but when the dress was on, I still felt pretty covered. I loved this dress!!

Wore this to a work gala. Many compliments! The back is my favorite. The adjustable straps help it fit just right.

We went to Black Tie event and this color really stood out. Despite the open back, it actually looked very modest from the front, the back is open and sexy, but still very event appropriate. These straps across back are adjustable- so that helped with the fit and the dress they put. I used sticky covers (34B) and felt secure all night. No shapewear since the open back and side cut out but I felt the dress wasn’t super clingy so it still flattered my body. Excellent design and color- especially for a Fall event!!

I wore to a wedding in 90deg summer - really light weight and so perfect! The straps make the bust exceptionally adjustable for the perfect fit. I wore with small kitten heels and the length was perfect! Can not recommend more! 

Back straps being adjustable is a game changer with this dress!! So flattering with the stitching under the bust and the way it hugs the body. Perfect for summer and fall events!

I’m obsessed with this dress. I normally wear between a US 4-8 depending on the brand. I ordered the 8R and 10R sizes, and went with the 8R. I’m 5’7 and 145lbs with an athletic build for reference. Because the two straps in the back are adjustable, I went with the smaller size so it was form fitting where I wanted it to be, then adjusted accordingly. It’s very lightweight silk — the wedding ended up being 90 degrees and outside, and I shockingly did not melt even with the long sleeves. The colors were even more stunning in person - absolutely recommend!

Wore this for close friends’ wedding where the dress code was “funky formal.” Received so many compliments and felt so confident and cool in it. The back adds that sexy element to it to balance out the fun sophisticated one shoulder in the front. The back straps are adjustable so easy to get the perfect fit. Boob tape is your friend here just FYI. I paired it with the styled clutch a gold cuff and other gold accessories. Def recommend! 

So many compliments on this dress. Fit me like a glove. The cut out back is stunning. So glad I got this dress and would definitely wear again.

The fit was a tiny bit loose on top for me, but the straps were adjustable which was really nice. Overall a beautiful dress!

This was such a fun dress to wear to a fall wedding! I loved the adjustable straps in the back. The length was a little short for me. I am 5 4 and wore about a 4 inch heel and it came to my feet. I would have sized down. The top area could have been tighter but over all loved!

Really loved this dress but just did not fit the occasion i rented it for quite right. It’s so unique and fun with the one sleeve/ asymmetrical style and open back and florals. It was a bit more casual than i expected but still nice. I had rented as an option for a wedding in Cabo and it ended up being darker in color than I expected and didn’t feel right for a beach wedding. It felt more like a fall color, but then the open back would be chilly so i’m not sure where you could really wear this!  I wanted to keep as an option for another wedding but it also felt a bit scandalous for a family event . The back is VERY open. I do think it could be dressed down with sandals for the right occasion, nice vacation dinner or something like that!

The back was a little more open than I was excepting but I love the fit so much and the color is gorgeous
