Elevated, elegant LBD
Beautiful neckline, flattering, comfortable. Approximately tea length with thick fabric. The sleeves add edge and visual interest. Could be dressed down with ankle boots or worn formally with heels and statement earrings. Great choice for holiday party.

Beautiful wrap dress elevated by puffed sleeves and asymmetrical hemline
Wore this wrap dress to after work cocktail party in city. Perfect colors for a warm fall evening. Fabric very light but dress well lined. Received some compliments. The downside is if you are full chested or broad shouldered (I'm both) it will be low cut. Reluctantly I had to wear a camisole as the environment was too conservative. I felt this detracted from the overall look of the dress. Despite needing the camisole to conceal my chest, I did feel the dress was slimming. For this reason I wouldn't shy away if you're curvy, but proceed with caution if you are above an A-B cup.

Beautiful fabric, elegantly structured dress, but need the right undergarments
This dress elegant, with thick, gorgeous fabric that holds its hourglass silhouette, reminiscent of what a 50s movie star would have worn. As more of a pear shape, I found I really had to wear the right under garments to get it to lay right. There isn't any give in how the dress is structured, so if your measurements are off (if you are anything different than an hour glass shape), it could be a problem. As it was, I wore the dress with spanx (two of them!) and a strapless bra that minimized my bust line (my push up bra gave me too much cleavage and I felt I looked like a cartoon character). While I liked it I felt like it did make me look bigger than I am. That said, I did receive several compliments and felt pretty good in it. It has pockets, which is nice. Might be a good choice for slender women who want to add the illusion of curviness. Overall, nice rental.

Funky Victorian style with a modern edge
Unique dress. Covers a lot while still being light due to delicate lace overlay. True to size without much give yet somehow still comfortable. Perfect for a November charity gala held on a Thursday night so felt right in the middle of day to night dresses and more formal attire. Easy to accessorize because the dress is the focal point. I enjoyed wearing it.

Nice dress but beware curvy women
This is a high quality, very sexy black dress. I did not end up wearing it as was too revealing. I think it would be great for someone with a slender or straight figure who would like to add the look of curves and isn't afraid of the considerable slit. But if you have curves already I would choose another style.

Flattering, comfortable jumpsuit in gorgeous dark olive color.
True to size, works with a basic strapless bra. Neckline very flattering. The only draw back was I'm 5'4 and had to wear my highest heels. The buckle on the belt is gold so I kept jewelry gold, too. Loads of compliments.

Very flattering, comfortable dress. Classic with a slight edge. Fabric is substantial.
This is the first 'body conscious' dress I've ever worn (I'm curvy and athletic). I don't think I would have went for it if the fabric wasn't of such high quality. It also helps that the shoulders have a nice structure. It was fun to wear and surprisingly comfortable. Would be nice to have as a permanent part of my closet. If you're on the fence don't hesitate.

Well cut navy dress on the modern side of classic
True to size, very comfortable, dark navy dress. Zippers at the cuffs and high-low hem make it feel more modern than classic. Flattering fit for athletic, curvy women. The simplicity and classic navy color make this a good choice for a work event rather than a fancier cocktail affair. Also, I had planned simple jewelry (bold earring and a bracelet) but felt I looked like a flight attendant and had to add a necklace at the last minute to break up all that navy. Otherwise, was very happy with the dress.
