Sigh. I hate to write a negative review but alas, I must. The picture I posted is the best picture I had, and it actualy makes the dress look decent. But do not be fooled. I think I deleted all the other ones but if I find them I'll post them later so you can see. Anyway, I rented this dress for an outdoor summer wedding in Central Park. I was super excited about this dress because of the bright color and the asymmetrical skirt. And my excitement did not fade when I saw it in person (on the hanger). The green is a perfect kelly green color. The outer material is silky without being too shiny. It was perfect. However when I put it on I couldn't even get on the 4. The dress has an inner lining which is ridiculously, unnecessarily tight in the hips. Also I think I have pretty average hips. Not huge. It seriously doesn't even make sense. So I ended up wearing the size 6.... which even that I could barely get on. And then it was somewhat baggy in the waist so it was just completely unflattering. I don' think I can explain enough how uncomfortable this dress was. I only wore it because I had NOTHING else to wear. It was so tight I could barely walk in it, let alone dance or sit down. Then on top of that, because it was tight in the boobs and hips, but not in the waist, it wasn't flattering and made me look fatter than I am. Ew. Other negatives: it was very shot and I'm 5'3." It was fine for me because I wanted something short but just be aware. Also the outside material is thick PLUS it has the super tight lining so it was actually a very heavy dress. This could be a good thing... but the wedding I wore it to just happened to be outside during a 105 degree day and I was DYING. The material doesn't breathe at all. Part of the reason I picked this dress is because I thought it would be cool and comfortable. NOT the case. So in summary, clearly I would never rent this dress again. And unless you have NO hips DO NOT get this dress or you will be disappointed.
