Overall fit: True to Size

Wore to a catholic wedding in California - completely "appropriate" without feeling doudy - sophisticated yet sexy, generated dozens of compliments, perfect balance. Also, I'm tall - length was perfect, great success. Would wear many times over.

Wore it to an awards dinner hosted by my university. Would look fab on almost anyone, but really stands out on darker skin tones like mine. Received many compliments on the color especially. Dress is not lined, but the material looks and feels expensive/high-quality. Runs a bit large (I'm usually an 8/10, but I think the 6 would have fit just fine). Overall: great for those events which are in between cocktail and black-tie.

This dress stood out the most at this event!
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I wore this dress to a charity event. It was stunning and I got so many compliments on it! I probably could have gone a size down but the reviews from previous renters said it ran a little tight in the hips and I was worried they wouldn't fit so I ordered a size up and my back up size was 2 up. However, it was still gorgeous and looked good on my body type. I highly recommend this dress!

Received lots of complements, its very unique and stood out compared to lots of black dresses (winter time). Good for someone with hips and a bust. I normally wear a 10 but they were out but an 8 worked out but a little tight on top. Very comfortable. Great color!

Fit was good, I went for the smaller size and I'm grateful I'm tall. If I was shorter I would have had to hem it. The detail was amazing and I received a lot of compliments. I think the color was great, but the dress worked well for a fun, classy affair. Highly recommend!

Stands out in a crowd!
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Wedding
In a sea of black dresses, this one definitely stood out. I got a ton compliments all night. The dress is a beautiful gold color (photo is pretty true), and the stitching/pattern is remarkable. I originally had on the 8 for the ceremony, but I decided to ramp it up so I put on Spanx and wore the 6 to the reception. The only reason I can't give this dress 5 stars is that it was larger on top than I would have liked. Also, the 8 arrived in poor condition --- the zipper paint was rubbing off, and some of the stitching was "fuzzy". I would order your normal size and a size down. Overall, a great, easy-to-wear dress with a modest length.

The subtle intricacy and color of this dress is stunning in person. I wore it to a law firm's party at MoMA and was looking for office attire that would outshine in a sea of black sheaths. A teeny bit of stretch to the fabric kept the wrinkles away but still held shape. Beautifully designed.

Engagement Photo Dress
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Wedding
I wore this Vera Wang dress for my engagement photos. There was good with this dress, but also some bad. CONS: It didn't quite fit. It fit perfectly in my bust and hips, but was really baggy in my waist. The dress also came with snags in the material - though it's so intricate in detail, it would be impossible not to snag. PROS: It was beautiful. My photographer loved shooting it, I loved it at first impulse rent, and random people who have seen the dress since then have asked where they can buy it. Great dress, but this renter is skeptical of its fit on a hourglass figure. Photo Credit: John Cain Photography

I ordered 6 & 8 because I'm pear shape. Material gives a bit and was able to wear 6. Top was a bit loose but nothing too noticeable. My only observation was that I thought that the dress would have been lined particularly since it was a Vera Wang. If you have a curvy shape this dress is beautiful; people will notice you!! I wore it with gold shoes and accessories. Marvelous dress!!

Aptly named 'Sun Goddess' dress - sophisticated and sexy
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
Fit beautifully - little bit of room in the bust. Knockout color! The high neckline and longer length made me feel comfortable wearing it but it's still pretty sexy. The fabric is gorgeous and the design works to hide small bulges which I was concerned about in a sheath dress. Absolutely loved it! Got loads of compliments.

My mom is 5'7". Pear shaped. Wore it to my brothers wedding. Looked incredible on her. She could have had it taken in up top but still looked amazing and received so many compliments. Someone who is proportionate top and bottom(more hourglass) would look amazing in this. It does have some stretch.

Gorgeous detail with a very flattering fit.
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
This is a beautiful dress, even more than the photos convey! The detail is slightly embossed and has a dual tone quality that goes well with black pumps. The dress is unlined, which I was surprised by, however when I put it on it was extremely comfortable. The fabric is quite soft and hangs with just the right amount of structure. My only disappointment was that the size 2 was more worn than expected. My husband had to use scissors and trim all the fuzzy threads. The 4 was in better shape but too large.

I wore this to a work holiday party and it was a huge hit.

This dress is stunning in person. It's a bit pricey to rent, but the dress I had picked out was damaged and I went with this as a backup. I am thrilled I did. The color and pattern are just stunning. I got so many compliments. It's very lux looking. The only weird thing about the dress is that there isn't a lining, but the fabric is soft and not stiff so it looked fine. It is also a bit larger on the bottom, but I am a little top heavy so that happens with most dresses. I was sad to have to send it back since it was so pretty!

Stand out holiday dress
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I wore this to my husband's holiday party and it was a knock out. I stood out in a room of red and black dresses but looked the part. The golden color is great for blondes and the sheath shape will accentuate an hour glass figure in the right way. This is not super bump friendly but spanx can solve that!

Got compliments all night long. Dress fits pretty true to size. I am 5'7" and 155 lbs, I think I could have worn the 6, the 8 was loose around the waist and hips but still showed off my hourglass figure. This was my second dress and only got one size. This is a dress I would consider buying it stood out from all the same old little black dresses everyone else was wearing.

The detail on the dress is really striking! I rented this dress and one other (a gorgeous black dress) figuring one of them would fit me for my event. I chose the black one only because this color is really attention-grabbing. I wasn't sure that with being on stage presenting AND wearing a bright "LOOK AT ME!!" color was the road to happiness for me personally. The dress fits beautifully, true to size. It isn't lined, though, which was a little weird (lack of lining was what cost it a star).

Most popular with the crowd
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: Large

This dress is absolutely gorgeous. Random strangers complimented me on it! It's also extremely comfortable - so gorgeous and comfortable that I wore it two days in a row, once to a casual dinner (with flats and colorful jewelry) and once to a fancy dinner (with heels and diamond earrings). BUT I did not feel gorgeous in it because, as others have said, the fit is strange (hence the 4 stars). I agree that it is designed for someone taller - or at least longer-waisted - and maybe for a pear shape. It fit me in the bust, but was way too big in the hips. And I just swam in the 12, the "size up" recommended for back-up. I had a complicated relationship with this dress!

I'm very very petite and typically wear a 0 or 00, so it's my own fault for taking a chance on the size 2 (the smallest size available for this dress). It's a gorgeous dress, though- brilliant, rich color and exquisite embroidery. Wish I could've worn it :(

The dress fit great through the hips and waist but smashed my chest and did not look good on me. I was disappointed because the dress was beautiful and I could not zipper the top of the dress without it flattening my chest. I would not recommend this dress for fuller breast sizes.

It is a little tight in the bust. The hips are a little wide. I had both a 10 and a 12 delivered and both fit different ways. I went with the 12. I was comfortable and could sit during the wedding and dinner that followed without being concerned I would split a seam. I wore a slip because it's not lined. the color is amazing and I was complimented all evening and wished I actually owned the dress!

Gorgeous eye catching color
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
The dress is just as described. Hugged around the waist to give a nice shape but moved enough in the legs to move and dance comfortably. The color is unique and will definitely get you compliments. The only drawback for me was that my bracelets kept getting caught on the threaded embroidery. Because of this I would recommend to wear with statement earrings and let your wrists go bare...the dress is simple in fabric so you won't feel overdressed but stunning in detail so the jewelry is unnecessary anyway. Enjoy.

My bust is smaller than my hips so the dress was a little snug around my mid section and a little loose at the bust, even with a padded bra. The only other negative was that there was a lining so it felt a little weird.

Great pattern but...
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size

The pattern really makes the hips look blocky. The color is fun. It fit ok -- not my favorite however. I chose a different dress. This was the backup. Even though I read the reviews that said it wasn't lined, that still somehow surprised me. The lack of lining made it feel a bit cheap. Glad I saw it up close, though.
