Fun Color!
This is a great dress! Super flattering, forgiving and yes, girl, it has POCKETS! I'm pear shaped, with a small chest. Wore a nude strapless bra comfortably. You could go brakes, the upper fabric is heavy. The skirt is floaty and leaves a train when you walk. Very fun to dance in. It was a hot Minnesota August wedding at a golf course. It kept me as comfortable at I could be in the temps and humidity.

Perfect for my 30th Birthday in January
This is a super flattering dress. I tend to stay away from form fitting dresses due to my wide hips and party ball(large belly). This dress hugged me where I needed it and hid everything else. The lace was just enough sexy and the length hit me right before the knee. I had the best time in this dress celebrating with some wonderful people. Would I rent it again.....yaaaaaaaaas! I almost didn't sent it back.

...I wish I would have known it was a barn wedding
I rented this dress for a wedding back home in June. I wish I would have known it was an outdoor barn wedding. It was 85 with no breeze. The open back made this dress. Overall, I was a little warm in the dress, and uncomfortable due to the lace. The lace was worn, but a little ironing helped. I ended up wearing the 12 due to it fitting my wide hips better. The top is sturdy enough to go without a bra. I wish I had a better picture me wearing it, I did feel beautiful in it.

July Wedding
I really loved the way this dress photographed. I got tons of complements. When receiving the dress, it smelled of self tanner....bad. I had to febreeze and place in the dryer. The dress itself is itchy to sit in. If you have wide hips, the under layer fits tightly and does not give you much wiggle room. The pockets on the lace part of the dress are attached to the inner layer, giving your hips a little extra(unneeded in my case) volume. Bottom line, Would I rent it again.....yaaaaaassssss, it has pockets! I had a ton of fun dancing in this dress.

"Thanks! It has pockets!"
Wish I had a better picture of this dress. But I love it! Did I mention it has pockets! So perfect to go purse free all night! I rented this for a grooms dinner. Tons of compliments all night. Wish I could have kept it. I wore the 8- didn't even bother trying the 10 on. I'm a little smaller in the chest, so the top portion was a little large. Nothing a strapless padded bra couldn't fix. Lining of dress is thick and warm. It was perfect for a September night. I would rent his dress again in a heartbeat.

Complements galore!
I usually wear a size 8-10. So when the 6 fit like a glove, it gave me an instant confidante boost. Compliments on the dress all night long, including the bride and my boyfriends grandmother, who kept asking me the next day where my pretty dress was. I am very pear shaped, little on top and curvy on the bottom. I would highly recommend this for any pear shaped girl. Very flattering, hides all the things you want it to. Appropriate length, hit me right above the knee. I was sad sending it back. Can't wait to rent it again.
