This dress is really great. It was simple but caught the light really well. There's a shoulder pad there, I didn't really notice it before. Very classy

Perfect LBD!
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size

I loved this dress!! I loved how the sequins were not really stand out but instead were more subtle. I also though the python look on the dress gave it an edgy look. My only complaint was that it was a little tight on my underarm but other than that it worked fine. I ordered the 2 and the 4 and ended up wearing the 4. I would recommend sizing up instead of down!

Gorgeous on, but tight in the arms.
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
I loved the way this stretchy mini fit, but it was tight on the left arm (went high into my armpit) and the material was scratchy at armpits The material scratched up my back when I put the dress on, but once the pain faded and so did the marks I really liked the dress (and after ignoring the armpit tightness).

Wore this dress in Vegas for a girls night out. I expected it to be a bit shorter. I was a little tight in the sleeve and the sequins were itchy under the armpit but overall super comfortable.

Rented this for New Years Eve out in Boston with my girl friends. I have been losing weight but in general have worn a L or 12 in any dresses I have rented but got the 10 as a back up and glad I did - the 12 fit but was loose and did nothing for my figure. The 10 was a little shorter but fit like a glove so I actually went with the smaller size. Beware if you are tall and have long legs this dress is DEFINITELY short!

This was a nice little dress, but it did bunch up in the back a little and did not lay completely flat. I wouldn't wear it again but it worked for an evening out in Vegas.

Well, the dress is more awesome in person that on the site. The detail is beautiful and its SUPER COMFORTABLE. I love that its not super tight at the bottom, but not "bell shaped" either. Just an awesome dress I wish I could wear again and again. Thanks so much..the pleasure was all mine! (and my husbands :)

Loved this dress! Wore to my sister's bachelorette party and received many compliments! I wanted to keep it, so when it goes on sale, I may buy it! The material is so soft, and it's very comfortable to wear. I thought it would be so tight that I may need to go up in size, but that was not the case. I absolutely love this dress!

Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I wore this dress to a black tie wedding 5 weeks after having a baby. The material is stretchy and form fitting, but really comfortable and flattering. Even with a few extra post-baby pounds, I felt great. I'm a swimmer and have trouble zipping up most dresses because of my large back and shoulders. This dress has a side zipper and with the stretchy material, it zipped just fine.

Great little black dress!
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I originally ordered this as my main dress, but when with my backup style, because this was a little shorter than I am used to wearing. It fit great and had good stretch (great for us curvy girls). One thing that I wasn't crazy about was the shoulder pad. You can't tell in the photos but it has a pretty decent shoulder pad and I have very square shoulders so it look a bit bulky on me. But overall great dress!

Great dress for a night on the town!
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I ordered this for NYE, and it was perfect for that. I always worry about ordering dresses because I am 5'6 athletic build, but I have hips & a chest. This dress was great because you didn't have to worry about cleavage spillage, or pulling your dress up all night, and the fit was really slimming. However, this dress is quite short. I wouldn't have been able to wear it without dark tights, because you actually cannot bend over at all. My only real complaint was that the arm hole was really tight and uncomfortable, so the sequins rubbed into the back of your arm. I'd grab some bandaids or moleskin for the night ahead of time.

Sexy yet respectful lbd.
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
This dress was comfortable and came across the same in person as the photos online. I felt it ran true to size for the most part; the hip area may have run slightly large. I thought this dress was perfect for my hourglass figure; the stretch in the material allowed the waist to be fitted and accomodated my bust as well. Sometimes when a dress has little to no give I need to move up to a four to fit my bust leaving the waist and hip area loose; not the case with this dress! I received many compliments and felt sexy but also comfortable to be around the conservative members of my family in this dress. I left off one star because the dress was itchy around the upper arm/shoulder and I wished the covered shoulder had a slightly narrower cut to show some shoulder and upper arm. All in all a great dress that I would rent again.

AMAZING DRESS
Size worn: 0
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I rented this for the post-party after a formal ball, and it was AMAZING... It fit perfect, I feel like it would fit any body type... a very easy to wear dress. The snake pattern of the sequins is just enough. I'm not big on crazy patterns or animal print, and it was a good step out of my comfort zone without being too crazy. It also makes the dress more appropriate if you're looking to dress it up for a more formal occasion. The shoulder has a pretty sizable shoulder pad - but frankly, it gives that special touch, that "wow" that makes this dress a bit more fashionable than every other "vanilla" one-shoulder mini. The only downfall I can imagine is how TERRIBLY raw the underside of your arm is after rubbing against the armhole (its only on the one side)... but as a stylist once told me "fashion is pain darling"... and this dress is worth it!

Loved the look of the dress. A bit disappointed the bottom was more "A line" than fitted (in other words, this is not a skin hugging dress). Also disappointed with the fabric which was very thin and flimsy (like wearing a halloween costume); may want to think about that in terms of weather/temperature. Overall though, the dress was very fun and flirty.

I am short and this dress was short on me. Very flattering and the fabric is very forgiving as it is stretchy. I am usually between a 4 and a 6 and the 4 worked for me. The fabric is not as shiny as it appears in the picture and the dress was a bit work when I received it. I didn't wear it because it was my backup, but definitely a safe bet for a night out.

This was a great dress and sexy but I agree with the other reviews that the zipper came up too high under your arm pit and was very uncomfortable. I was unable to wear the dress except for a picture. Too bad they can't do something about that.

Fun for a date night
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Date
I am usually a size 4, but I was really glad I got a 2 as a back up size. From the photo, I expected the dress to be shorter and tighter than it was - even when I wore the 2! I definitely couldn't have sized down further, because the shoulder fit perfectly in the 2, but the bottom of the dress seemed to have a very slight flare to it rather than hugging the hips. That's probably a plus on most occasions, and it still turned out to be a hot date night dress, but I was a bit misled from looking at the photo. Ended up really enjoying the dress for the evening though - would recommend to others.

Had fun wearing this dress to a holiday cocktail party over the weekend. The only downside is the sequins. They are a gorgeous detail, but I had scratches on my shoulder and bra line where they touched my skin. Not a comfortable dress, but enjoyed it anyway! I'm short so it wasn't quite as "mini" as on the model. Very flattering fit, however!

I rented this dress for a formal, and I got a few compliments. It is definitely a very pretty dress that doesn't look too tight or too young for anyone. Pros: Beautiful material, and very soft. It was the perfect length for someone of my height. It fell mid-thigh. Cons: I wore the size 0, however the dress was still loose on me, and I am by no means "thin" or "skinny" -- I am normal sized for someone of my height. It was loose right below the bust, and because the dress is looks form fitting, it made me look like I had some extra inches between my bust and stomach. Also, the bottom of the dress is not tight at all. It flairs out a little bit.

I really enjoyed this dress. However, after you put it on you cant bend over very well because you might show your underwear or other things. Also it is really itchy under your arm and around the neck area. BUT! It was cute and fit well! Great for homecoming! :)

This dress is entirely too short if you are a leggy lady. Better fit for petite, shorter build. Just walking is a challenge if you don't want yor backside revealed. Had to pass on this one, although it is a gorgeous dress for teh right person.

Although this was a beautiful dress, it did not fit me well at all. I am an athletic/hourglass figure and I also have a size 34D chest. This dress was tight in the chest and also made a gross bump over my muscular butt. I really wish I could have worn it but it didn't quite work!
