Picnic Perfect! (but size down)
Adorably-styled gingham jumpsuit. Lightweight, comfy (pockets!) and flattering. PROS: style, print, tailoring/construction + fabric. CONS: runs large, straps too long and not adjustable (I tucked them in entirely). Would definitely rent again in proper size!

Stupid straps.
Poor design on the straps of this sundress - they are long and not adjustable/tie-able. Not sure what they were thinking. The material is light and has a slight iridescent sheen. I did not like the styling or fit, even though I typically LOVE Temperley. The inability to adjust the straps was the main reason this dress just doesn't work.

Fun, but heavy material for heat
This piece was fun for a night out... and though clearly a summer romper, the material was a heavier cotton crepe and it was fully-lined - quality, but hot for warm weather. It was also very long in the torso, and I have a long torso for an average height gal. Shorts were a nice length - not too short or too long. Color is a great turquoise. You can wear a strapless or racerback bra, if you choose.

Fuschia. Flouncy. Fantastic!
This dress - like all Chiara Boni dresses - is simply fantastic! The signature scuba-like fabric conceals all evils, the color is a gorgeous fuschia, and the neckline and flouncy sleeves make it flirty and fun. This dress is sexy on an hourglass shape and super comfortable. Sleeves can be worn over or under arm. Length is more tea length on average height (I'm 5'5"). Many compliments all night, including "best dressed guest" from one particularly forthright gentleman. Please forgive the lighting in the photo, as it doesn't accurately show the dress color... and please ignore the sunglasses, too (they were DJ swag). This dress is great for a wedding guest and cocktail functions -- RENT IT!

Great color. Meh dress.
The color on this dress is it's best feature -- bright, flamingo pink. Almost day-glo. The styling is just okay, and it runs VERY large. I'm a solid 8 and I think the 4 would've been the best fit for me, though the 6 worked. The dress is a polyester crepe material, and unlined (which is a mistake for this fabric). The neckline and cold shoulders add a bit of visual interest, but otherwise the styling is not super flattering or even fun -- it's a bit too long for anyone under 5'8" and too full. There was also some weird pleating in the back that made the rear look unflattering. Overall, I would not strongly recommend for women with curves or petites.

You will get compliments galore.
This dress is show-stopping in person - gorgeous lace, high class, the epitome of elegance. I wore for a charity fundraiser at Saratoga Race Track and received endless compliments from guests and designers in attendance. Curvier ladies should size-up as there is virtually no stretch and it's cut pretty straight from the waist. I think the 10 would have been perfect on me, maybe could've squeezed into the 8 (the top portion was quite big, especially the neck which I wanted tighter. Still an AWESOME look - I paired with a fascinator, vintage braided belt and black satin peep-toes.

Beautiful blue. Perfect pique fabric.
Great dress... and high quality for price point. The colors are gorgeous in person, and the styling has just enough edge to keep it chic. Love the plunging V-neck (needed pinning for daytime), but let the girls out in the evening! Tons of compliments, from both men and women. I bought it -- highly recommend!

Posh in Pink! Feminine, fancy and unique
This dress is a stunner! Received countless compliments from men and women alike. The color is the prettiest blush pink, and the embroidery, lining and construction are all sumptuous. This feels like a much more expensive garment. LOVED IT and will absolutely rent again. Highly recommend! FIT NOTES: a bit quite across the chest for bustier girls and better for the short-waisted. I'm a 34D with a long torso, so this fit more like an empire waist on me, but it still looked great :)

Curvaceous Calypso Showstopper!
The color, cut and fabric of this dress is AMAZING for ladies with curves. It's high-quality scuba-like material that is figure-hugging, forgiving and flattering all at once (the fit trifecta!). It's quite dressy - good for fancy cocktail or upscale party... was too dressy for the occasion I rented for, but will definitely rent again and actually wear - it looks incredible on!

Super cute, but not for long torsos
Great material, fully lined and forgiving... however the style and proportion is not well-suited to long torso'd ladies. Love the colors, stripes and overall silhouette, but it didn't quite work for my body. May try the LR but fear it may be too big up top.

Gorgeous w/ Compliments Galore!
These earrings are showstoppers - big, beautiful, very high quality. The clips are tight enough to hold up, but not uncomfortable - even after hours and hours of wear. LOVE these earrings and will definitely rent again!

For busty, narrow-hipped ladies only
Beautiful dress - quality material, embroidery and great styling (in theory). DID NOT WORK for my hourglass figure - was WAY too tight through hips, and too big on top for my 34D chest. Just a very particular fit for a very particular shape.

This is a very pretty dress - nice lace, flattering styling and comfortable. I didn't wind up wearing it because the look wasn't what I wanted for my vacation. However, it fit my hourglass shape nicely and would make a great choice for a different situation/event.

Cool, Colorful and Casual Chic!
LOVED this jumpsuit - super colorful and comfortable. Ultra-light material feels super-soft and lightweight even in hot weather. There is no stretch to the material, but it loosened up with steaming. I am 5'5" and this was the MR was the perfect length for flats. I wore a normal bra in matching color, but it barely showed. Neckline, back and overall styling of this piece is surprisingly flattering and sexy -- my boyfriend loved it on me! Will definitely rent again this summer. UPDATE: rented and wore for a night out - received ENDLESS compliments from men and women alike, but especially MEN.

"Stellar" dress! Beautiful, unique print and luxurious fabric. Tight waist, even for hourglass shape
This dress is truly beautiful - high quality construction and fabric. The print on the skirt portion is unique and artful. As other reviewers noted, this dress is well-suited and flattering for an hourglass figure; however, the waist is quite tight and unforgiving. I recommend sizing up. The neckline and sleeveless cut is quite sexy despite being concealing. This dress is elegant with an edge. I would definitely rent again in the proper size.

Fun top! Tomato red with great flounce and high/low styling
This top fits true to size, but is definitely "full" looking because of the flouncy styling. The fabric is substantial and fairly luxurious. It has more heft and structure than the images suggest. The color is fabulous - a bright, ripe tomato red. The back is long, will cover most ladies' backsides. Neckline, front length both great. Didn't have time to wear before needing to swap for next order, but will definitely order again!

Plunging and purply
Fun bohemian dress in rich purple and grayish tones. Plunging neckline provides nice contrast to fuller kerchief bottom. Overall, silhouette is just okay for curvier girls. I paired with purple booties and a suede choker/lariat necklace (not pictured) for a very hippie-chic look.

Cute - very bohemian and feminine; better for straight & narrow build
Super soft silk with nice flounce and quality embroidery detail. Colors would be better suited to late summer / early fall. Probably not the most flattering fit for curvier girls, as the drop waist cuts off an hourglass figure... but still a fun rental.
