Comfortable, easy to fit, glittery!
Pictures don't do the dress justice! It's sparkly and slinky. Wore with 3-inch heels, and it was a perfect length.

Pop of fun color!
Sleeves were a bit long and sleeves felt a bit tight when I first put it on, but they loosened up. Love, love, love the color! Wore with black jeans and flats.

Classy and fun
Lots of sheer in this dress but great coverage in all the places that it matters. Cannot wear a bra with it (sheer in the back). Little bit of stretch, fits like a glove, great length for the shorties like me. Would rent this one again. Bought for a cocktail attire wedding.

Unique, comfortable, WOW!
I may rent this dress for every event. It is so unique, so flattering, and people would not stop talking about it. It photographs beautifully. I wore a black, backless bra with it. It's definitely plunging (!), but I consider my style fairly conservative, and I felt just fine in it - it's more of a hint of skin and fun vs. feeling inappropriate for a wedding. Great length for us shorties. Wore it with black high heels.

Beautiful color, didn't wear
Rented for a semi-formal wedding. Gorgeous color, but the dress felt too conservative and structured. The material was REALLY heavy, and it just felt blah (un-wedding like). There is also not much give to it, and it was really tight around the hips. Perhaps I mis-judged my body type as being one right for it. I didn't end up wearing it.

Great color, but felt just okay.
The color on this dress is great and it cuts really well. Perfect length for those of us with short legs. I don't know what it was about this dress though...I just didn't love it. The material is really heavy...feels a bit bulky, and I felt a bit like I was trying to go to Prom as a 38-year-old. It also didn't photography well.

Unique, classy, comfortable
I can see how this one may be a tricky fit for some, but for my height and body type, it fit like a glove! Straps were a bit long but easy to pin without being noticeable. Not much give/stretch. Great outfit for occasions in which you are unsure how dressy the event it (I wore to a work holiday party). Surprised there were no pockets, but that just means it lies flat against your hips, which looks better anyway.

Great fit, conservative but festive for a wedding.
Tons of compliments on this one. Cut-outs and overall fit worked great with racerback bra. Wore it with nude peep toe heels and small gold earrings.

Comfortable and classy for the fall!
I didn't love this one, and had it not been that I had it delivered to me while out of town and without a back-up outfit, I'm not sure I would have worn it. I typically wear a 2, but because of the other reviews saying it ran small, I ordered a 4 and a 6. I wore this with nude peep-toe heels and green dangly earrings. The 4 fit pretty well. Cons: The shorts' pockets and style were a bit blousey, so I felt like it made my bottom half look larger (not the look I was going for). From other reviews I thought the shorts would be shorter...maybe it's my height, but they felt a bit long. I know it's a romper, which are hard to take off when going to the restroom, but this one was especially hard with the zipper and the hook in the back. I had to ask other women in the bathroom to hook it for me. Pros: The color was great - navy, but not so dark the navy looks black. It was really comfortable and unique.

Comfortable and classy!
I loved this romper! So, so comfortable, but looked tailored and classy. Wore them on my anniversary date weekend with some lime green suede flats. I typically wear a small or extra small. Got this in an extra small and it fit just fine, little tight around the top just when taking it off, so a small likely would have fit a tad better. Took off one star because the hanger strings are long! I had to tuck them in the waistband or they fell through the bottom of the shorts.

Great style, fantastic color.
I ordered a 2 and a 6 in this dress (typically wear a 2 or 4, but 4 was not available). The 2 fit great, but was a little snug in the arms when I first put it on. Fabric gave a little after just a few minutes. It was pretty short on me, and I'm only 5 ft 3 in, so if you are tall, I'd be careful about ordering this one if you plan on dancing and lifting your arms a lot (the dress comes up a bit when you lift your arms!) It's loose through the stomach, which is nice, but a bit tighter around the hips and thighs (at least for my body type), so it's not a dress you can dance wildly in. :) The color is great - I received a ton of compliments on the dress all day, mainly about the color. (And the owner of the wedding venue insisted on taking photos of me on some of the wedding furniture because she loved the color so much - thus the cheesy pictures!) I wore it with gold flats.
