Stylist Review!

Size worn: 6R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

This dress was soooo comfortable! I felt very put together! It was rather short in the 6R as I am 5'6 and right on the cut off. If I wanted to wear anything other than flats I would most certainly need a Long. Other than that it was wonderful! I could wear a normal bra and I didn't feel the need to wear spanks as the fabric has a bit of weight to it, and helps smooth your figure.

It was an amazing fit, I received praises all night.

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Wedding

If you have fairly large arms like I, size up. Doesn't have too much give for bulky arms. I usually wear a 12 but was able to fit an 8.

Perfect fit, top to bottom!

Size worn: 10R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

As a large-busted 5'2'' woman, I was amazed to find a formal gown that fit without alterations! I rented the dress for a formal ballroom dance event. My dance shoe heels are 3"; the gown's length, fit, and give allowed me to dance comfortably. I love the luxurious and forgiving fabric, style, and color. I bought an inexpensive replica of Princess Diana's sapphire engagement ring to match the dress...stunning! I have no complaints other than to say I was a bit hot because of the long sleeves. I would definitely wear this dress again; however, I would choose something with different sleeves or no sleeves for dancing.

Loved this dress. Got lots of compliments.

Size worn: 8L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

This dress was perfect for a semi-formal dinner. It is a navy color. I received lots of compliments on it and how it was so different than every other dress. I ordered the 8L and am 5'8 1/2" and had to wear 5" heels. Keep this in mind if you are between the regular and tall size. My husband wanted me in something sleeveless and I wanted something long sleeve. This was the perfect solution. :)

Perfect dress for a cold, Detroit evening!

Size worn: 6L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

Loved this dress! Comfortable, heavy-weight jersey material and long sleeves made this the perfect dress for a black-tie event in January in Detroit. No special undergarments needed, the material is fluid and has stretch to it, so is very forgiving. Received lots of compliments and loved that it was a classic navy color among a sea of black dresses.

The dress was very form-fitting, nice for hourglass shapes.

Size worn: 4L

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Formal Affair

The bunching in the middle is not very flattering, the sleeves were a bit too tight. Of course, the color is much lighter in person than from the photograph.

Great Gown!

Size worn: 8L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I'm usually inbetween an 8 and a 6, this dress fell right into that category as well (I'm 135 lbs and 5'7 1/4"). However, with the "giving" on this fabric, the 6 looked better. I ordered an 8L and a 6L. Unfortunately, the 6 that came was a regular and was too short with the 5" heels I wanted to wear. I had to wear the 8L. It was about 1 inch too long but I wore it anyway. I felt a tad frumpy but the gown was still lovely on. I rec'd lots of compliments.
