I rented this for my daughter who is 5'4" and about 124 lbs.  The dress was very pretty but not as flattering as she hoped. 

Felt sexy AF all night! Fit was very true to size. The dress wasn't too short where I felt uncomfortable which can happen often, I'm 5'10 with long legs and a long torso. Dress wasn't too snug in the bust or on my tummy, I loved that I didn't have to wear any tummy control Spanx. My bust is very large 34DDD and the dress fit perfectly, not too tight and no back back fat! But also wasn't slipping off where I was having to adjust it. Material was perfect for an extremely hot summer day too. 

This dress was a great fit, true to size and very flattering. I was extremely surprised that as a 36DDD I made out wearing this dress without a bra - bravo! You won't regret renting this dress, unique in style and color that's bound to collect compliments.

This dress was surprisingly flattering for a tighter one (not usually my style). I loved it so much - wore to senior spring college formal! so many compliments.

I wore this dress to a wedding and got a ton of compliments on the color. I'm not extremely flat chested, but I had to have someone safety pin the straps in the back to keep the top from falling down. The rest is the dress was very snug, so I couldn't have gone down a size. If you have a large chest, this dress is perfect for you!

I've rented this in red so I knew I would like it!  Gorgeous color and fit / no bra needed.  However the zipper is difficult and broke and I got stuck in the dress!  At least I looked good :) 

Loved this dress!  The color is amazing. I received a lot of compliments. Fit is true to size. 

I wore this to a "formal cocktail attire" wedding and it was perfect! The fit is very flattering and the simplicity made it easy to pair with accessories. I'm a 34B and opted to go bra-less because it was surprisingly supportive on top. Only complaint was that it was pretty snug around my hips and rode up a bit but the flowy top covered some of the tightness and made it look elegant and not at all trashy. 

I'm 5' 9" and always worry about things being too short but it was an appropriate length. I had to keep an eye out and adjust it when it rode up a few times but otherwise it was great. 

Definitely recommend for any event teetering on the formal-side. It can be easily dressed up or down! 

They dress was great but since I didn't want to wear a bra runs a little big in chest but other than that I loved it! The color was great!

Fit was great, wore spanx under it as it is form fitting. 

As other reviewers mentioned, this dress is snug or true to size on bottom, but very loose on top. If I had sized down for the top, the bottom would have been too tight. Overall, it didn't stop me from enjoying the dress. I just ended up pulling it up more often than I liked. Still got lots of compliments! 

I wore this dress to a birthday dinner in Vegas at The Bellagio. It was comfortable enough to spend the whole evening enjoying the scene. I did not have to wear a bra thanks to the top ruffle. Easy to wear dress and not as short as I thought it would be. Great rental!

I'm four months postpartum and wanted to feel sexy but with ease. This dress was perfect. I got tons of compliments. It hugged me in all the right places. I did have to wear the size 14 because the 12 was too small for my hips but the 14 was a little loose on the back straps. So I was kind of in between sizes. But it stayed put all night even with some pretty extensive dancing. I'd definitely rent again. 

This was extremely uncomfortable because the dress did NOT fit right at all. It was way too big on me, even wearing size 0. I had to tie the back and it still was falling down the whole night. I wanted to dance but it kept falling down. 

Was waaaaayyyy too big up top and you can't really wear a bra with it. It also rode up a lot so spent a lot of time pulling it up and down.

The top was a little lose but the rest fit well. 

I wore this with tights and a black jacket for a work holiday party. The color is beautiful-the picture doesn't so it justice- and the fit is flattering. It could easily be worn on its own for a dressier occasion but I covered up a bit since it was at a work function. It's also well designed so that it will stay on your body even as a strapless dress. It was definitely tight but it felt like a true zero rather than vanity sizing size 0.

I wore this dress to a semi-formal graduate school event. I danced my heart out, but be aware that this dress is a little difficult to move your legs in. The bottom half runs quite tight and the top half runs a bit large. Just something to be aware of! Otherwise, it's very good quality. Made of thicker fabric and is very forgiving!

Fits comfortably. Shows off curves in all the right places yet still I felt modestly covered. 

This dress was super pretty and I enjoyed wearing it overall. I have a bit of a larger chest so the top wasn't baggy like others I read in the reviews mentioned. I ended up needing to go to my bigger back up and still probably could have gone another size up. Was super cute but very tight in the waist. And flattering everywhere else except the stomach region for me personally. 

From the color to the style, this dress is perfect!  It was great for a fall wedding that I went to in October, but can be used any time of the year.  The length is perfect and the 6 fit very well in my bust and waist.  Didn't have to wear a bra either! I have athletic legs and the lower half of the dress was a little snug, but I danced the whole night with no issues.  Would recommend and wear again! Got plenty of compliments :)

I ordered a 6 but it was loose in the bust and I had to keep pulling it up. The bottom is a little tight around the thighs. 

The bottom fit great and it was a nice, thick material, however the top was a bit large on my bust and the back is not adjustable. I made it work by wearing a sticky bra underneath. Luckily I did not size down, if I had it would have been too tight in my hips. I received compliments all night and the color stunning! 

I wore this for our wedding celebration party at a country club after our elopement. Pics from my phone do injustice to the color. I stood out in the crowd and my eyes popped. If you have blue eyes, this dress is a must (tight-line your eyes in midnight blue)! Best part... no bra needed. The fit and length are sexy yet the overall look says classy elegance. The fabric is thick and smoothing if your 6-pack is in lack or your a little soft around the thighs;) Accessorize accordingly and this versatile dress can wow for fancy cocktail attire, girls nite on the town, or a hot date! I normally do not wear a size 0 but I wanted the dress to be snug and the 2 was slightly big. Wear nude/gold/silver shoes as black diminishes the blue:) Endless complements!! Enjoy...

Absolutely loved the color!!! I will definitely rent again! 

The color is stunning and it fits very well

This dress is a stunning color and has enough details to make it feel special.  I feel like it is a little on the larger side, it wasn't as fitted as I'd have liked, but I usually wear a 0.  Super comfy, but the rubber on the inside that helps it stay up was worn off so I had to use extra dress tape.  

I'm usually an 8 and I had to wear the 10. The top was a little loose and the hips were a little tight. I would size up. Overall though I thought the dress looked great for my night out.

Loved this dress! The quality of the fabric was so nice. The only downfall was the top was too big and hard to adjust to fit me. The rest of it fit like a glove. Would definitely rent this dress again! 

Dress fit great! I wore this to a wedding and received so many compliments! It was so comfortable and such a gorgeous color. I would definitely recommend! 

This was the perfect dress, the detail on the back really made it special.  So flattering, but yet still elegant.  Loved it!!!!

It was a little loose up top but not unmanageable. Would definitely recommend. 

The dress was a little tight on my stomach and loose in the chest but honestly fit really well!  I was jumping and dancing all night and it did not fall up.  I did go a size up and felt more comfortable with that choice.  Would definitely recommend this dress! 

Perfect wedding dress.  The cobalt blue is so pretty.  Great fit and length for dancing.  (Being 5'4, its always a gamble with short dresses) 
Could have worn the 2 but the size 4 just felt better.   
No bra needed, dress stayed in place all night.
Will definitely be renting this in the other colors!

This is a gorgeous short dress.  It really hugs your body, but it stays up and doesn't move around.
