I rented this dress for prom and it was beautiful!

I was worried that it wouldn't fit but it ended up fitting perfectly. I got so many compliments and it was completely comfortable! It wasn't too short on me, but I could see how taller girls with longer legs could feel that it's too short. I loved it though and am very happy with my choice!

Equal Parts Elegant & Playful

I wore this dress to an outdoor, summer wedding and it was the perfect dress for the occasion. I was worried that the sequins would make moving around/dancing difficult, but I had no trouble at all. The fit was great and the sequins looked so beautiful. I received many compliments on this dress; even from the bride herself!

Flattering, classy and sexy

This dress was so gorgeous! It is very short, and I am about 5 ft. 4 in., but it was still classy (I paired with sheer panty hose). The dress did run small, I normally wear a 6 and went with the 8. Overall, I would rent the dress again and recommend it!

Fun, comfortable, classy

I'm short, only 5'0'' with a slight athletic build, and this dress worked perfectly. I liked that it was a little looser for me and it wasn't too short at all (I'd watch out if you were taller). Received a lot compliments and just felt really great in this dress.

Great dress for a semi-formal evening or cocktail party!

I wore this dress to an award show gala where the ladies' fashion ranged from formal to semi-formal cocktail wear. Perfect mix of glam and modern styling! While I was initially worried about the length running a bit short, it fit my 5'6 height perfectly. The detailing in the black and gold mixed threads is really lovely and photographed well. Be aware there is no give in the fabric so definitely order a size up if you are concerned about sizing. Very flattering dress even for athletic shapes with broader shoulders (like myself). Lots of compliments throughout the evening - bonus was seeing it worn by Edie Falco at a red carpet event a few months later!

I wore this dress for an award show and our after party. The dress fit the occasion! It was FUN!

I am 5'6" and normally a 2-4 but got this in a 6 because the 4 wasn't available. It was loose but wasn't a big deal because it ended up being more comfortable that way. It is VERY short! I am not in love with my legs so I wore tights...and it was November and COLD so it was okay! I woke closed toe black heel booties, as well. It was perfect for a night of standing and dancing. If you are sitting just be cautious of the length. I got loads of compliments on it! Get your hair and makeup done and it is a total package WOW.

Sexy Fit

I loved this dress! The dress is extremely body hugging and is super sexy without showing a ton of skin. Not too short and fit like a glove. The close fit of the dress is actually really comfortable. The sequins can be a bit uncomfortable at times, but you get used to it pretty quickly. Would definitely rent again!

Great holiday party dress!

I got so many compliments on this sparkly mini dress at my office holiday party, which is a dressier cocktail party at a dinner club. The 4 was a little short on me, but the 6 had too much fabric in the waist and shoulders. I was able to make the short hemline more modest with thicker tights, and the sleeves and high neckline balance it out, too. I would have kept this dress if I could!

Sparkles and fun!

This dress was absolutely perfect for Vegas date night. Dinner and a show - I was in love, so was my date. He couldn't stop saying how fantastic I looked...and how everyone noticed this dress. Fit was great. Just a bit short - but that's what you want for Vegas and date night. The cap sleeves are a great touch - don't cut you off.

I wore this to a destination wedding in the Bahamas and it was perfect. It fit great and was comfortable. It is short but I wore a size larger so it wasn't as short. Definitely would recommend this. Got lots of compliments on it!

awesome dress! Got tons of compliments

Runs true to size. The 0 fit the best in the bust and stomach area but was too short to wear as a dress because of my not so small booty! So I opted for the 2 and dealt with the slight poohing in the stomach. This dress got so many compliments, the sequins looked great and like I was the first one to have worn it. The dress was so flashy most people didn't even notice my broken foot. Would defiently rent again for a fun night out.

So sparkly!

I wore this dress to a cocktail dinner and out to the club in Vegas! It worked really well for both events. For me the dress length was perfect since I am short and it wasn't tight at all. There were a couple of snags but you couldn't notice unless you were really looking.

This dress was perfect for a Great Gatsby themed Ball! Very fitting to my inner Daisy!

The fit was like a glove but the arm holes were a little tight on me. Overall the length was good just had to be a cautious lady and not make any sudden movements, nice for classy dancing not booty.

SPARKLE, SPARKLE! SO MUCH FUN!

Wore this dress for the awards night/after party at conference this year, it was such a fun dress! Just enough sparkle! :) It was a bit baggy in the tummy area, but I couldn't have had it any shorter or tighter in the booty area. Also, I could definitely tell the dress had been worn quite a bit, it was looking a bit ragged in a few places, but unless someone was going to inspect your dress, no one would ever notice. I will definitely be ordering this again!

Fitted but not too snug. Skirt was on the shorter side (and I am 5'4") so I had to be mindful when sitting down and standing back up but overall a great dress! Loved wearing it!

Bold, classy and comfortable! Just the right amount of glam.

I wore this dress to my friend's Indian wedding and received tons of compliments. I liked the boldness of the gold and the fit was perfect. It was a tad bit shorter than I would've liked (mostly when I sat down), but still appropriate for the occasion. I had this dress saved under my favorites for a while and was glad to finally be able to wear it. It was beautiful and vibrant, just like the wedding!

The dress was gorgeous!

The dress fit beautifully, it was a little loose around the waist but not too boxy to lose the sexiness appeal. Lots of compliments all night at my 30th birthday party. It is a bit short so I'm not sure I'd wear it to a wedding, but it is a show stopper!

Winning the American Express Epic Everyday Moments Getaway in NYC

The dress was absolutely perfect! It was fun, short and flirty! It looked amazing in photos. Perfect pick for the red carpet Maroon5 concert I went to. I rented it for a makeover I won through American Express. My makeover also aired on Access Hollywood!!! It was my 5 seconds of fame moment and I am so glad I picked this dress!! I am usually a size 4 but I went with the size 2 it just fit a little better. The dress was very comfortable and fit my body in all the right places. I had no problem dancing all night long. Would definitely rent again! You can see the dress live on TV here... http://www.accesshollywood.com/amex-moments-getting-ready-to-hit-the-nyc-scene_video_2224237

Perfect birthday dress!

Wore it for my 35th birthday in New Orleans during Jazz Fest. I did not wear it to the actual day festival but to a group dinner and then to see some music at a bar later that night. I would have normally worn the 2 since it fit just fine but ended up wearing the 4 since I was going to be dancing and didn't want to wear a spanx or worry about my belly. Shiny materials tend to emphasize even the tiniest of bellies so i played it safe and went with the 4. It was perfect.

Super hot and sexy dress for a holiday party. I felt fierce in this dress and it was comfortable!

This dress was perfect. I loved that it spoke for itself and I did not need to accessorize much at all. Threw on a red lip and away I went. I received a ton of compliments. It fit well and was comfortable. A little on the shorter side so just be aware of where you are wearing it. Overall though it was a fabulous dress.

I looked stunning!! Everyone told me so.

The fit of the dress was great! it accentuated by body very well. I thought it was going to be very shinny but it wasn't. Its a very dull sequin, but that was on a positive side. In pictures it stands out very well. all it takes is simple shoes to match because the dress is very busy by itself.

I loved the dress! We took our pictures by the beach at sunset, and the light reflected beautifully.

I really loved this dress! The gold is so vibrant and the way it reflects light is stunning. The fit was really great- a little stiff, but that is to be expected when the dress is all sequins. It was still easy to dance and sit in, though.

A stunning gold dress that looks better in person.

I loved renting this Nanette Lepore dress for a Rent the Runway On Campus trunk show. Overall a more loose fit and a size zero fit me best. In length, it hit slightly above mid thigh. I would recommend and rent this dress again.

Dress fit true to size and is great for the hourglass figure. Dress is quite short, even on my 5'4" frame, so be prepared to show some leg. I felt awesome in this dress and received a ton of compliments. It's the perfect alternative to the "LBD"!
