Simple elegance for black tie fundraiser
The length was perfect for a short woman wearing high heels. The dress almost skimmed the floor. The top had ample size for me (34DDD), just a touch of cleavage and I could wear a normal bra. I loved the dress and it was perfect for the occasion.

Easy Elegance
Not a scene stealer, but perfectly easy and comfortable for a formal night out. Little long in the shoulder for me, but otherwise fits like a dream and very flattering. I love the tiniest peek of skin around the mid drift.

Gothic Gown
I loved this dress. I decided that for Halloween it would be nice to wear a gown because sadly, I rarely have the occasion to wear a gown. This was perfect and had a very gothic, "Penny Dreadful", victorian-esque look to it. Paired with chandelier earrings, an up-do, and a fake scar on my neck and I was appropriately spooky. I ordered the 12P and the 10R as my back-up size. I ended up wearing the 10 though the 12 fit fine, could've gone with either. It's quite long and billowy, I'm not tall and even with heels I had to hoist the skirts up to navigate stairs without killing myself. But it's a beautiful gown and it was fun and comfortable to wear. Also, as a gal with large breasts (36FF) this dress fit them but definitely accentuated them, which I don't mind. Got 'em, flaunt 'em.

Sooooo many compliments!
You know you scored a good dress when the bride is complimenting YOU. :) I wore this stunning floor-length gown to a black tie wedding and was beyond satisfied. The dress is elegant, comfortable, and flows beautifully. The top was just a tad loose—and if I had to do it again I would have purchased a push up strapless bra (regular bras aren't going to work with this dress)—but overall a perfect experience.

I love how elegant this dress made me feel, and I never had to worry about panty lines or bra straps
This dress is lovely and felt sturdy when I wore it. Luckily I don't have a large bust because it was snug in the chest. It is also low cut but very elegant.

Endless compliments at the SAG Awards!!!
The dress is perfect for women who have a smaller waist and bigger assets. I normally wear an 8, but the way the zipper was placed, I was able to easily fit into the 6. It hits right at your waist, so if you're an hourglass like me, size down! :) The dress has no stretch, but that makes it very good for covering those things you don't want seen ;) If you're looking for a dress, don't look any further! This is it!

Beautiful, classic dress
This dress was rented as a back-up, but I ended up loving the fit of this dress more. It is very flattering, accentuating the waist. The fabric on the bodice was a heavier fabric, making it feel structured. Thankfully this dress runs short because I needed to wear flats. If wearing heels, I would suggest renting a long.

Dress fitted perfectly !
This gown was perfect. Love the fitted waist and felt very comfortable on the dance floor. I also loved that it had this little weight at the bottom line. Which made dress move when walking. Got lots of compliments. I would recommend staying true to size.

This was a formal nighttime wedding.
I wore this dress to a formal wedding. It fit great! I wore a padded bra, which made the top a little tighter than I expected. I would order your normal size and one size up. I have wide hips, so the higher waistline worked out well for my body type. The beaded detail around the waist was so pretty and very elegant. The length was perfect, even with a 4 inch platform heel. When I first ordered the dress I wasn't sure how the material would look. It turned out great. The top part is cloth while the bottom is rayon. I love how the wire around the bottom makes the dress look. I received a lot of compliments on this dress. Overall, very happy with this dress!

Stylist Review
This gown is perfect for a formal or holiday event with the ball gown look and the light material. The detailed fitted waist is also great as it gives a defined waist. You can wear a strapless or standard bra with this gown which is perfect for those with a larger bust. I recommend going with your normal size and a size up for backup.

Wanted to love it but didn't fit
Loved the style and simple elegance of this dress but couldn't wear it because it was too long in the shoulders. There was 2-3 inches of extra fabric at the shoulders (not something pins or fashion tape could fix). Might work for someone with wider shoulders or a larger bust. Length on the petite was perfect for flats for me at 5'5".

I loved the dress!
The dress was lovely, with 3 inch heels the regular length was perfect for my 5'3" self. I am usually a size 10/12 but the size 8 fit well even though the cleavage was a little low and I had to pin it. It was a great experience even though it was my first time renting a dress. I loved that I didn't have to do anything else but wear it and send it back.

Looked Great, nice and simple backup dress for prom that I ended up wearing.
It's a very simple dress- which makes it pretty. The straps were a bit too long for me so the neckline was a little lower than I would have liked. I am 5"3 and the 8P fit a little loose but the length was perfect to wear with 2 inch heels.

Definitely made for a true hourglass body shape
I loved this dress but the top part is big. The straps were a little loose. I wear a G cup and there was still a little extra room so I don't think it would fit someone with a small chest. The waist doesn't have any stretch to it but the flowy bottom was great for hiding post-baby problem areas. I was able to wear my regular bra which I love. It's definitely made for a an hourglass body.

Felt beautiful
I didn't like the "hole" looking things in the belt area; some of them looked like they were supposed to be there and some didn't; I added my own belt. The outer chiffon shell got caught on my heels a lot too. Other than that it was nice.

Sorry, I am sitting down in my photo. The fit was great every expect the back and straps. The back gapped and the straps had to be pulled up to keep the girls in place. The 10R would have been too tight in my torso though.

I really loved this dress. I wish I could have purchased it to keep. The only problem I found was I had to keep pulling it up due to the fact that my bra would start to show a little bit.

Stunning dress, beautifully cut.
The dress is definitely low cut so if you aren't comfortable with some cleavage, may not be the dress for you. If it had been mine to keep, I would've had some alterations done across the back. It was a little loose across the back, but some fashion tape across the front and under the straps helped to keep it in place. The length was perfect once I donned some high heeled sandals. I received so many compliments and was so sad to send it back!

A good friend's wedding- gorgeous event!
I have a typical hourglass figure- small waist, ample chest (34DDD) and hips. I wanted a dress that cinched in at my waist but with a full skirt. The dress was beautiful & I got a lot of compliments on it. It definitely showed off my chest....perhaps a bit too much! The only issue I had with it was because I had to go larger to fit my chest, it was a bit too long in the trunk portion of the dress. This caused the top portion to have a bit too much material so it didn't have that perfect fit & I felt like I was constantly pulling up the top so my cleavage wasn't too much. I did like the bottom though, very comfortable & had this trim around the bottom that gave it a really flowy effect.

Sadly the top was too spacious for me although I'm a D cup.
The skirt and petite length were perfect, the waist felt great but the top is too spacious even being a D cup. I wasn't able to make any of my bras work without peeking over the top. The straps were long as well. I could see it working better for someone with a larger chest and feeling comfortable in it.

Absolutely in love with this dress! Made me feel like a princess.
This dress is incredibly comfortable and fit true to size. It was maybe a touch bigger up top so not sure how it would work on flat chested/short torso ladies. I tried this dress on and even though it was the first one knew this one was the one to beat. Wore it to a black tie Great Gatsby themed wedding. Would definitely rent again.

Wish I owned it and could wear it again
I wore this dress so a government ball, which meant formal and "appropriate." I have a large bust and the top of the dress was very flattering. It squeezed me in enough to make sure nothing "popped out," but not so tight that I couldn't breathe. The bottom of the gown was light and had incredible movement, and the jeweled belting at the waist was a nice accent. I got compliments all night on the dress and was definitely sad when I had to send it back.

I wore this as a bridesmaid dress.
Pros: Gorgeous dress, moves well, easy to dance in, flattering, and comfortable. I received many compliments, and would wear it again for other formal occasions. Cons: Runs small (I usually wear a 10, but in this I wore a 12), straps didn't lie flat, and it's low-cut (so just be sure you're comfortable showing cleavage). None of these issues were worth deducting a star for, though. Overall, it's a great dress.

The dress is even better in person. It has a slight curl at the bottom the picture doesn't show.
This is the first dress I have ever rented. I love how I could pick another size for free, because I wasn't sure what size I would be in with this kind of dress. I loved how it smelled and looked clean. The garment bag that it came in was fabulous! What a great idea on packaging. They made it so easy to return. I would definitely rent from this company again.

SO many compliments! Sorry I don't have a picture to post.
This dress is a classic. It is definitely made for a bustier girl. I typically wear a 4/6 because I am larger in the bottom but had to get a 2 to fit my chest size. I would highly recommend ordering based on your bust. Also, I would have wanted a long but that size was not available, this was a replacement for my first choice. If you are interested in getting this dress and you want to wear pumps definitely get a long if you are taller than 5'5"

beautiful dress, made me feel elegant, smaller chested tho so i probably should have gotten a smaller size because i spent the night tugging to keep it pulled up. there was also a stale smell to the dress that unfortunate.

Lovely evening gown!
This is overall a very lovely dress and I received many compliments throughout the evening. It does run a bit large for size. I had to pin the shoulders up to make the top fit appropriately. Additionally it is a bit long. I am 5'3" and needed to wear pumps to prevent the dress from dragging. I was a bit surprised as well that the eyelets around the waist actually do show the skin underneath, it is not just a belt.

This was a gorgeous dress, but it ran so small through the ribcage. I didn't get to wear it. I'm a 34DDD and was more than a little surprised that the 14 was too small.
