SO small
I wanted to love these jeans because the wash is so cute. But these are the skinniest-cut denim I've probably ever tried to put on. One size up would barely go over my thighs. Order at least two sizes up!

Cute for a daytime party
I didn't wind up wearing this, but it is a cute dress. I like the popover effect, and I felt like I still didn't lose my waist-- the waistband right under the popover part seemed flattering to me. Unfortunately the high neck was not so flattering on my large bust, and the fabric was too thick and satiny for the summer evening party I wanted to wear it to.

Pretty but tight arms
This dress is really pretty and the pattern pops in person: the light blue looks great. However, I couldn't wear it because the fit was so odd. I'm a size 8 34DD and rented the M. The dress fit everywhere, and was even a little loose in the hips and waist, except it was extremely tight in the upper arms. It looked fine but I was worried it would rip if I moved around! Because it was on the larger side everywhere else, I think it's just an issue of the cut and sizing up wouldn't have helped. So it might work for someone else, but beware if you have medium to larger sized arms. Also note it was somewhat lower cut on me than on the model, so be careful if renting for work.

Odd fit
Wanted to love this one. The draped neck is beautiful. Unfortunately the fit was really strange. The top is loose and blousey, with a very fitted pencil skirt. To get the top to drape (and the skirt to hit at a reasonable midi length), I had to pull the waist WAY up to under my ribs. But then the skirt part was unflattering on my midsection, and the fabric of the top was so thick that it did not drape well. It might work on someone very tall.

Great work dress
Got tons of compliments on this! It's thick, stretchy material so it is form fitting without clinging too much. Work appropriate but the stripes make it fun. I'm 5'4" and the hem hit right about knee level. M fit true to size.

Cute party dress
This dress is really cute for a night out or a party. I wore it bar-hopping for my graduation celebration with a tuxedo jacket and got compliments all night. Fits TTS and is stretchy, so it's pretty comfy.

Stunning but runs large and short
This dress was so comfortable and flattering. I wish I had a picture of the back because it was just right in the rear end! I got lots of compliments all night, especially on the color and the shoulder detail. It runs quite large, and a little short. I am 5'4" and almost 150#, usually a 6/8, and thank God I tried this on in the showroom because I would have been swimming in my regular size. The 4 fit perfectly. The 4R was slightly too short with my 4-inch heels, but I doubt anyone but me noticed. Overall, this was my favorite rental so far. Sophisticated, comfortable, and just enough pop of fun.

Gorgeous, especially the back!
This was such a fun rental for bar-hopping after our engagement party. The colors really popped and the open back was just the right amount of sexy. However, the fit was really strange. I tried it on first in the showroom in SoHo and they only had a size 10. It seemed to fit okay but the hem at the bottom was bubbling. The stylist said it runs extremely small and I might even need a 12, so we ordered the 10 with 12 as backup size. However, when I got the dresses at home, both hems had the bubbling effect and I was swimming in the 12. I went with the 10 and I think the hem problem was not so noticeable. Now I wish I had tried an 8, as the material is soft and stretchy.

It works
This is the best barely-there solution I've found. I'm a 34DD and the D cup is perfect. It really stays on and is perfect for backless dresses. You will not get a lot of lift, but it will give you some shape and prevent the headlights!

Plain on the hanger, stunning on you!
Wow this was way more gorgeous once I put it on. And I know the dress runs big from the other reviews-- but doesn't it always feel better to size down from your usual size? Unfortunately we had a scheduling disaster and I did not actually get to wear this dress out as I planned, but I loved it so much I basically wore it around the house all day anyway. Tip: heed the reviews and order one size down as your backup size! I am usually a 6-8 and I wore a 4 in this dress.
