I ordered an 8L when I usually wear a 6L (I'm 5'8") and it turned out to be true to size and was a little too big to wear. But the material was smooth and structured and elegant and I'll rent it again!

 

I normally wear a 16 but all that was available was a 14--it was a bit snug in the bust but otherwise fit great and I was able to dance all night. The color is beautiful and I got many compliments. Loved that the lace sleeves provided some coverage without restricting any movement. I'm 5'8'' and wore 2 inch heels; the regular length was slightly off the ground. Make sure you steam--I didn't realize how wrinkly the dress was until getting ready to go.

I wore gel bra cups. I used fashion tape to keep the plunging neck line above the cup closure. 

This gown was gorgeous. It fit perfectly and even had pockets! It was the perfect dress to wear for our first formal awards show at our conference. 

Amazing dress. I do need someone to help me zip it, zipper gets stuck sometimes but other than that, gorgeous. So hard to find a dress that fits my body type and I’m in love with this dress. 

Wore for a Bridgerton inspired event.  It was absolutely gorgeous so comfortable HAD POCKETS received compliments all night 

This was perfect for a black tie optional wedding! Great color, nice fit, and has pockets!!

Rented this for my mom who’s a solid 8 and she was obsessed with it! Super elegant with pockets

This is a lovely structured dress. Fit is true to size; would have needed the long (as the size guide recommends) to wear heels. 

I am almost 5’11” and the dress was floor length on me. It was incredibly comfortable and I wore a normal flesh colored bra (so the straps showed through the top IF you looked closely). The pockets were perfect to carry around my cell phone. I absolutely loved this dress. 

This was the perfect dress for dancing the night away at a ball. I ordered two sizes because of different reviews and the smaller one just fit perfectly, like this dress was made for me! It complemented my slim waist and hid my wider hips. 
However, this won’t be for everyone because of that: 
-) very long skirt, fit well only with 2 inch heels (and I am 5‘6)
-) very narrow at the waist and bust
-) bras will show, so can‘t wear one for an elegant look (had to buy special tape)


I wore this dress to a gala and received many compliments. The fit was overall very good except it was a little too big at the tops. I sewed a little gathering at the shoulders with a single thread and it was perfect. Love the pockets of course!! Length was good and it created a beautiful silhouette over my stomach. I would definitely rent this again!

I wore the 8L in this dress. The length was fine for flats but would have been better with heels.
I'm between sizes, so the 8 was a tad snug on me but would be perfect for someone who is a true 8.

I got so many compliments!

I appreciated the perfectly cut neckline, flattering seams, and fun detail on the sleeves. The fabric was dreamy! So soft and with a subtle shimmer. Truly a gorgeous dress perfect for a white tie event!

I loved that this dress had pockets and the sleeve detail is amazing. It didn’t wow me though. It definitely worked for the formal event I attended though and I felt beautiful. The dress is long, so I would recommend wearing heels. I wore flats.

Thankfully i chose another dress i rented because the  mother of the groom dress was very similar. It’s beautiful and fit great just went with a different look. 

It is a pretty dress, the fabric is heavy. The fit was tight across the chest and lower cut than I expected. Wore the size 12, but a larger size might have fit better. 

Wore this dress to a semi-formal wedding, and it was perfect for the cool, outdoor event in the Colorado mountains. Two areas it wasn't quite perfect - waist, was a little snug, and the length was a little too long even with a heel (I am 5'4"). But overall, I would totally buy this dress - it is so perfect!

Perfect dress for my party! I felt like a million bucks in this dress. I received lots of compliments. Super comfy yet sexy v neck and lace sleeves. Loved that it had pockets! Only struggle was that it was hot at the party so the long dress made me even hotter. Not the dresses fault :) Highly recommend this dress. 

I am a tall and long waisted woman in her 40's and this dress fit true to size and was a little snug in the middle, although I haven't dressed up in over 2 years, so I didn't know my size so I am glad I asked for the 20 and the 22.  I needed the larger size. The dress was comfortable and the pockets were a plus! It is full length and nearly touched the floor on me at 5' 10".  The neckline was a little lower than I usually wear, but I felt comfortable and I I had tried harder I probably could have adjusted it at the shoulders to fit more modestly.  LOVED the whole experience of renting.  It was my first time renting a dress and everything went off without a hitch!

The dress fit perfectly! The low cut in the front made me feel sexy while the full skirt and swish on the bustling in the back give you princess vibes. Oh and the pockets!! It was amazing!

This dress was everything. Perfect for a black tie wedding, so elegant and classy. Received a ton of compliments. Very flattering, especially in the waist and chest area (my husband loved it, lol). It was a little tricky to zip (the fabric kept getting caught in the zipper), but not an issue once it was on. Would recommend!

Pros - loved the sleeves, a line cut, slimming waist…Cons - low cut (I don’t normally show much cleavage), waist was very snug. Steamed easily & felt beautiful wearing it!

I'm 5'7" and 135 lb and the dress fit perfectly.  It was comfortably tight in the bodice (no bra) and a great length to wear with heels.  The fabric is beautiful and has enough petticoat to make it flair.  And: Pockets.

Beautiful dress! It runs a little small, I got the eight and the 10. The eight was a little snug so I went with a 10 and it was a perfect fit. The long version of this dress is really long so, you’ll need higher heels but overall I loved it!

This was such a beautiful, classic dress and it was perfect for the black tie wedding we attended. I found it to run a bit big, so if between sizes, I’d size down and it was especially generous in the chest area. It wasn’t too big to ruin the dress in any way, I loved it and received many compliments! 

I received many compliments and felt very glamorous wearing this dress. It is very low cut, so you might want some sort of camisole under?
The waist with all the crinoline made me look a bit thick. Also this is a warm dress with all the layers, so might be best for cooler weather. Overall great dress!

Wore this to a formal dinner.  Fits a little small; tight in the waist. Glad I ordered a larger size. Got tons of compliments. Loved the pockets. I'm 5'3" and even with 3" heels, the R was still a little long. Felt very comfortable in it. Use sticky tape around the bust to be comfortable as it is very low cut. Would rent again.

It was long enough for me to wear heels. Didn’t wrinkle. I added the belt. The second quality in the 2nd pic sucks but I wanted to show the length in 2 inch heels

Beautiful dress with really special sleeve detailing. I think the specialness of this dress was in the beautiful box pleats in the back, which have the dress gorgeous proportions. Plus, it had pockets, which was clutch.

Having said that, the dress was a little more conservative than what I'd want in a gown. But if you're renting it for the right occasion, it's perfect.

Overall the dress was beautiful. The only problem was in my professional picture the dress looked wrinkled. It was due to the type of material. The flash from the pic against the material made the wrinkle look. 

It was a bit long even for me at 5'6 so I had to wear heels. It has a petticoat style underneath that added hips to my normally straight figure. Loved that I didn't have to wear a bra, too!

It got a lot of compliments and it fit very well. The zipper had trouble where the bodice met the skirt so you do need a friend to help you in and out of the dress. Otherwise it was very form fitting and glamorous. A unique pick and very princess-like. Also POCKETS!!!

A very structured dress, so it was flattering and I could go without foundation garments. 

Love everything about this dress! The lace sleeves, the low cut, the fabric, the color and of course the pockets!

I rented a 6R and 8R and normally wear a 6 dress but ended up barely fitting in the 8R. It is really tight in the chest area, recommend if you are at least a 36C/D to rent 1-2 sizes up. I didn't even need a bra since I needed a little extra room to zip up the back. Other than that, loved the quality of it and had a lot of compliments. 

This gown was beautiful, and I got compliments all day. It was perfect for the concert I sang in- elegant, classy, and a rich color. The long length was long enough for 2.5 inch heels and I am 5'9". 

If you are busty, and you prefer your girls to be tucked away, this may not be your dress. Other than that, it was the perfect dress for me.
