Mostly gorgeous...
I absolutely loved the look and feel of this dress. The fabric is thick and a bit stiff, but that made the skirt hold its shape beautifully. It made my waist look absolutely tiny, which was wonderful, but came at a price -- I could barely breathe. There is absolutely no give with the dress, and I had to do some really fancy work with the zipper--taking the straps down to zip, and then lifting the straps back up. I have a 36DD chest, and as you can see from the photo, the cut of the dress put those puppies on DISPLAY. By the end of dinner, I was actually getting a little light-headed and had to unzip it as soon as I got in the car so I could take a deep breath. I would rent it again in one size up.

Perfect and comfortable!
This was the perfect dress for NYE, even in Colorado, where it was -1! It was comfortable, sexy without being slutty, and made me feel amazing. I got constant compliments on it all night. It was just a little shorter than I normally wear, and I had to be really careful not to bend over. My criteria were: beauty, comfort, and ability to wear a normal bra, and all three were totally fulfilled. I would definitely rent it again....I don't even want to send it back!

It is such a beautiful dress and fits beautifully...however...
The dress arrived without the tulle underlayer. So, it just has the blue lace and nude underslip, which hangs too low, so it looks like a mistake. Fortunately my main order dress fits as well, but I was hoping for the long sleeves, since it is for New Year's Eve in Aspen. :( It is a lovely dress, though, and if I could squeeze my curves into the size 10 without feeling squishy, I would be all good, since the 10 arrived with the tulle. Oh well.

The dress was incredibly comfortable, and I got great compliments all night!
It's a little more blue than emerald, but it was still gorgeous. It's super long, and I was tripping on it a bit, even in 4-inch heels, and I'm 5'10"! It does require a strapless bra, or some sort of device to keep the straps close to center, which was not the most comfortable for my 36-DD bust, and I ended up changing into more casual clothes for the end of the reception and dancing, but the wedding was really chill, so it worked. All-in-all, I would definitely rent this again for the right occasion.

Too short, too tight
Even though the outer layer flows a little bit, the inner layer was too clingy, and the dress was too short. It is also a lot darker than it looks. Nope.

Love it and would get it again!
Loved this dress! It was light, comfortable, and had just enough stretch to warrant wearing the smaller of the two sizes I rented. I got a lot of compliments on it. The length was fantastic--I never felt like I was going to show too much, but my legs looked great in it! The pink is a little deeper than it looks online--which I liked. I would definitely rent this again and recommend it! A steamer would be helpful, if you plan on wearing it more than once in your rental period, as it did wrinkle a little toward the end of the night.

Beautiful, but heavy.
These were really pretty, but heavier than I am used to, so I had to take them off halfway into the evening. Loved them with the Kate Spade dress I rented for this rehearsal dinner.

Didn't work. Too short, too tight.
I was so excited to wear this dress on New Year's Eve, but unfortunately, it just didn't work. I am curvy through my midsection, and the dress was just too clingy--but if I had been able to get a size larger, it would have been baggy in places. It was also too short for me. Oh well.

Best decision!
I wore this dress to a very fashion-conscious wedding in Ojai, CA this past weekend. The groom is a designer and the bride is in fashion PR, so I was definitely nervous that I would not have the right thing to wear for the occasion. Finding this dress was an absolute delight! I felt completely comfortable in it while sitting, standing, and dancing for hours. I never felt like it was going to show anything inappropriate. Many attending fashionistas gave compliments, too! The color is as vibrant as it looks on the site, and I would actually rent it again. I did worry a little bit about it showing moisture since it was a very hot day, but with the help of my underlying garments, I managed to stand so that no sweat touched the dress fabric.

No no no
I got both the large and medium sizes in this dress, and neither one worked. There is zero stretch to the fabric, and I have a larger chest--which it simply did not accomodate. The dress is also waaaaaay too short. I would never have been able to wear it in public without showing off, well, everything. It was laughably short. Definitely not for tall women with boobs. Disappointing, to say the least.
