Sequins & Sparkle for NYE!
I loved this dress -- the sequins cover the whole dress not just the gold bits. I was surprised to find that the dress was not as loose as it appeared on the model -- on her, it looked more like a shift dress. In person, the dress has quite a bit of stretch. I ended up wearing the 4 because the 2 bunched oddly on my hips. In the 4, though, there was a lot of extra fabric around my tummy. Overall, I loved this dress and would rent it again!

Perfect for my Bridal Shower!
At first, I thought that I had received the wrong dress because what looked yellow on my computer screen is actually more of a spring/jade green. I was surprised, but I loved it! The pink band across the mid-section is actually higher than the natural waist, and the skirt's flare starts at about the hip. If you have a wider hip, or that's where you start to curve (like me), this dress does add a little "volume." This is great dress for a daytime luncheon or party!

Gorgeous color and great fit!
This dress is great! And, it is snug. Even though the 2 fit, I chose to wear the 4 because it gave me a little extra room to move.

Two tones of blue!
When I saw the dress online, I thought, "Oh pretty, I like that it's all navy." It isn't, and it is awesome. The lace on the bib front is a dark blue, while the dress is navy. The dress is very soft, and it feels more like you're wearing a woven dress than one made of lace.

Gorgeous!
I love this dress! If it ever goes on sale, I am buying it! The dress is a very thin silky material, and the bodice is tight. The sweetheart neckline is lovely, but it is cut low. I had a little trouble with my strapless bra peeking out of the top on one side. However, no one but me could tell or even noticed.

Flirty and fun for summer!
The cut of the dress was lovely, and the fabric is fairly thick which helps the top stay up. If you have an hourglass figure, you may find that while the bust fits, the waist is roomy. I would rent it again.

Very pretty and not too heavy!
Usually I find clip-on earrings to be very heavy, but these were light and moved beautifully.

The side cut-outs are a great way to try the peek-a-boo look of skin!
The dress is snug and short. When I tried on the 4, it looked awesome, but there was extra fabric around my hips. I was nervous about the 2 -- see comment about short and snug -- but it did fit much better. It's also very comfortable, just be careful when you sit down. :)

The unusual color of this peacock green dress is killer!
The dress is very ladylike -- perfect for a wedding. However, the seaming at the waistline is high and almost empire-like. If you are at all busty but have a slim waist, your waist does get lost. Also, the color on my screen looked dark green, but I was delighted to find more of a peacock green when I opened the box.

Lace + Sparkles = Happy New Year!
The dress is lovely. It looks like a party and moves like a party. However, the shoulders cut in at the top, sort of forming a triangle rather than the straight lines of a sheath dress.

Th crabby bridesmaid at this wedding finally had something nice to say... about my dress!
This dress is short, but the cap-sleeve shoulders help to balance it out. The fabric has a nice sheen that looks really lovely with pearls, too.

Not only did my date's jaw drop, but the first person at the event said, "Wow, that dress!"
The bodice of the dress is boned which helps keep the strapless top in place, and it makes dancing a breeze. The bow for the waist seemed to be a little small for the dress, but it really did tie the dress together. Make sure to steam or press the rosettes around the top, near the waist because they can get a little smooshed from shipping.

Looked Just Like NYE Should!
I loved this dress; it looked just perfect at a New Year's Eve party! It was a little big overall, but the extra straps helped the dress stay in place. There was a lot of extra room at the waist, but the pleating and wrapping helped to hide it.

Great for Christmas!
This was my first rental, and I was very impressed with how smoothly it went. The dress is shorter than it looks in the picture; I'm 5'6", and it ended about where my fingertips hit my legs. The size 4 fit beautifully below my waist, but it was a little roomy up top. The sash was a little too big, but nothing that double-stick tape couldn't fix.
