I've only been at my current job in a hospital for 3 months and I'm always wearing smurf blue hospital issued scrubs. So when my coworker got married and invited a lot of us to her wedding, no one recognized me in this fabulous dress! They were double taking and rubbing their eyes when they saw me. They said I have been hiding my figure in my scrubs. Just like the other HL dress I rented before, this one hugged me perfectly in all the right places. I love the color- the gradient was beautiful and I think the transition in color hits the figure so nicely. My boyfriend helped me zip it up and the first thing he said when I turned around was "you should always rent this dress." The only con to this dress was that the straps were just way too long. The top kept slipping down too low in the front, showing more of my bust than I was comfortable with at a wedding. I had no actual solution to pin or tape the straps in a way that looked nice. Good thing I have long hair and it was easy to keep hidden. Other than that- perfect! This dress transformed me into a superstar to my coworkers! I'm glad they now know that I don't always look tired and lazy like I do in the hospital, haha.

I wore this beautiful dress to my cousin's wedding. The ceremony was held outside in 90 degree weather, and the strapless dress was perfect for the heat, but conservative enough for the occasion. The dress fit perfectly at first, but as the night went on, it stretched out and I had to keep pulling it up (I wanted the medium, but it was not available). It never stopped highlighting my hourglass figure and backside though! Even after all the food and drinks, it mostly kept everything tight. All my family members kept calling me Kim Kardashian- which was supposed to be a compliment to my shape and how well it showed in the dress. The coral color also looked nice on my skin tone and I paired it with neutral "bone" almond toe pumps from Aldo. I'm not really one for accessories, so I just wore an ivory/gold Michael Kors watch, large ball studs, and a simple ring. The only cons about this dress was that it squished my chest a lot from the side and it stretched out quite a bit by the end of the wedding. My mom and best friend were constantly helping me pull it up in the back, but it was probably my fault because I was on the dance floor the whole night. Also, it was a little hard to dance in as my leg movements, as well as dropping it low, were limited, haha. :P Overall, definitely a show stopper!
