I am so glad this dress fit due to being larger in the bust area. The dress fit like a glove. It was snug through the legs so using stairs or getting into the car was a bit of a challenge. I did get some nice compliments on the dress.

This dress was very comfortable. The bodice was lined so a bra wasn’t necessary. Just dressy enough for a wedding.  Easy to dance in. The material is an embroidered overlay which I received many compliments on. 

I'm a pretty solid 12 and couldn't zip this (broad shoulders and boobs).  No stretch.  Pretty though!

I really liked this dress but it just wasn't right for the occasion I was going to! It's formal, could be worn to numerous events. 

Fit was snug, perfect if you're not going to move around too much--especially around the legs since there are no slits, doesn't allow for too much movement or fast walking. Beautiful embroidery and complimentary fit. 

Not too formal for work. Really loved the cut. 

I'm very tall (6'1) and with a fairly straight body type, but you can see, the cut of this dress creates nice curves - very flattering. 

Dress was a good fit, didn't have much give so it is true to size
Very classy dress

I loved the dress, but needed the 12 to feel confortable

I wore to my husbands work holiday party and it was perfect. Conservative without being boring and still felt elegant. 

I loved the quality of these materials. It is beautifully made. This fit well except that the sheath looked wrinkly over the chest/shoulders at time depending on how I stood/sat.

Fit is true to size. Classic, high quality dress with beautiful details. Wore to office holiday party. Would also be great for a wedding. 

I wore this dress to the office as I had a nice lunch out and an evening event. With a jacket or sweater, it was perfect for the office. The sheer top makes it great for a nice event - especially during the holidays. I got a 4 to fit my 21 week pregnant bump (132 lbs) and it fit great! Fits well along the body and fitted in hips without being too tight. A friend said I should buy this dress. A great rental! 

I wore this to the ballet.  It was a very pretty pattern, but I felt that it was just ok on me.  The fit was fine except that it was loose around the waist and rib cage which made it look a little matronly. I am 5'3", ll8 lbs, hourglass figure. As others have stated the hem is very narrow making it difficult to walk up stairs or get in/out of a car.  

Great material...very flattering. Especially love the lace overlay. 

Great Dress. True to size, very comfortable and easy to move in.

Very nice dress just don't try to run. Narrows in the skirt with no slit so it is slim fitting and shows off curves. This also makes it difficult to walk fast. Embroidery work is lovely. 

This is a beautifully embroidered, conservative dress.  I rented my usual size 10 (for reference, I am 5'8", 154 lbs, 36C) and it fit me like a glove. There is zero stretch in the material and it's a bit tight at the shoulders.  Also a bit tight when sitting down.  This dress nicely highlights my hourglass figure. The embroidery reminds me of Japanese cherry blossoms, so I added my own black leather obi belt (which also nicely covered the horizontal seam at the waist).  I wore the dress without a bra since it comes with built-in padded bra cups (but no push-up action).  At 5'8", the dress ended right at my knees.

I wore this  to an awards show and after party.  It is almost true to size - slightly small.  Also a bit tight on the bottom around the hem, making it slightly difficult to walk in at times.  The fabric is not stretchy.  Overall a very pretty dress though.  I would rent it again.

I wore this for an evening award event at work. It was perfect! Conservative but also very flattering. The embroidery was so beautiful. It was true to size and hit right at my knee. It was a little tight at the bottom so I had to be careful going up stairs but that was only one small negative. This is probably my favorite dress I have ever rented, wish I could have kept it! 

The dress was well made & decent enough. The overlay was a bit itchy around the arms. 

The bottom of the dress, under the overlay, kept turning up bc of the pull of the overlay, and that looked a bit odd. 

The dress fit true to size & was OK for a a conservative wedding (esp when it's a bit chilly out), but this isn't my favorite dress. 

The floral print embroidery reminds me of cherry blossoms.  It was comfortable and I got a lot of compliments.  I just wore it for work.  I did notice the sleeves limited my range of motion raising my arms over my head.. but it wasn't a big deal.  Fit - I am 5'6", 36c, 155 and I felt it ran true to size.  I wore an 8. 

Actually ended up renting this dress for a funeral. Nice to add the color. Great fit, didnt need to wear a bra with it. Would rent again 

This dress was easy to wear, fit was perfect and with the built in support I didn't need a bra (I am a DD cup so I was surprised). Elegant dress felt just right for the occasion. I would also wear to a dressy work event and may rent this one again.

I was 5 months pregnant when I wore this to my hubby's holiday party and it fit great over my growing bump. Received a lot of compliments because of the beautiful design. If not for my chest being a bit tight (prego and all), it would be even better but otherwise it was great!!

 Love the dress. The construction and embroidery work was awesome. Would definitely recommend this dress 

I usually wear a size 6 but I ended it up wearing the 8, because the fabric is a little tight but it makes a really nice silhouette. I loved the way I looked on it.  

Form fitting but very comfortable I received many compliments on my dress.

Love this dress! Wore it to church. I'm not a fan of flowers but this dress is a Statement. Runs small so I wore the 12 although I am down to a 10. Will rent again for sure.

I loved wearing this dress; super comfortable and true to size. I initially was going to wear black heels but ended up going with nude! Lots of compliments -  I'd definitely rent this dress again. 

Loved this dress, tons of compliments. Great fit, great style. Snug at the hemline so getting into car was a side saddle swing, but worth it!!! 

The dress is snug and form fitting.   It makes an unimpressive bust prominent. :-)
 I don't know that a large breasted woman would feel comfortable in this dress.  
I am long-waisted so it was not the most comfortable dress but it is very pretty and well-made.  
I wore 2.5 inch red suede Mary Janes & a sweater (cold snap boo) for the daytime event and 3 inch dark red patent leather pumps for the evening event.  The higher pump looked better.  I would totally rent this dress again, especially for a fall, winter or spring wedding, cocktail party or special daytime event.  If I had to do it over again, I would have gone with a black blazer instead of a sweater if I was cold.  If I was not long-waisted I would have given it a 5.  :-)

This is a lovely dress, well made, fits true to size, lay nicely.  It is a little itchy here and there. It's a bit more conservative (daresay matronly) than I thought it was going to be. So, it's a nice dress, but it's not a wow.

Tried this dress for a work function, but my other option was cuter. This dress is a little snug with no stretch. It runs true to size, but might fit long on shorter gals. The detail is beautiful and the cut is very classic and professional.

Would be perfect for a daytime wedding, a shower, work special event, or formal dinner.

True to size, the bottom is a bit tight where the dress ends but not very restrictive could definitely still dance with no problem! I loved the netting up top and the flowers are beautifully crafted. I paired it with black tights, black wedges, and a black wrap for an evening look. Would rent again in a heart beat! 

I loved this as a Christmas dress, with the red flowers.  It definitely accentuated my curves, but with the length and sleeves was modest enough for a family holiday celebration.

This is a gorgeous dress and I felt fabulous wearing it. I have muscular arms and I had to wear a 6 rather than a 4 because the arms are quite tight on me.
