Another great Dress the Population dress
If you're not familiar, you just can't go wrong with the sequin mini dresses from DTP. They forgive all the sins in the tummy and are just so flattering. My only complaint about this one is that I was fussing with the shoulder area most of the night. That's probably a me problem and not a dress problem.

Wintertime Sexy
I don't normally wear tops that show cleavage because I've got natural breasts that nursed twins, but I taped those puppies up with KT tape and it worked. Because I was self conscious, I was pulling at the opening all night, but everyone in my party told me to leave it alone because it looked great. In hindsight, I wonder if I had sized up, if the opening would have been narrower. This was stunning for winter. Pro Tip: go to the restroom with a friend you don't mind see you naked (with KT taped boobs), because the zipper is impossible by yourself.

So comfortable, I could wear it as jammies
The meshy fabric feels like you have nothing on. It's form fitting and flattering while being barely there. I didn't even wear shapewear because of the rushing. Someone had taken out the shoulder pads from the size I wore, which was disappointing, but nbd. I loved the color and pattern just for "something different". I chose black slingback pumps because it was winter (hence the long sleeves). I might have gone with a nude sandal otherwise. Amazing dress. I would rent again once I work my way down all my hearts.

Gorgeous cut and color
I have a new figure so I'm still trying to decide what size I am. Typically I'm a 4, but I wore the 6 in this because I thought the draping showed off better with it being a little looser in the waist. The color was gorgeous with a little fake tan. I paired with a nude sandal and I thought it was fine. It turns out I was overdressed for this particular event but that just means I'll rent it again!!

Easy to wear
I loved that this just pulled right on, no zipper! As others have said, it's very comfortable. I definitely needed span to smooth out the line (I mean, what dress doesn't?). It was perfect for a wedding. The length was demure and the top was chic.

Flattering in the waist
I NEVER ever wear this cut of dress, always convinced it makes me look bottom heavy. However, the reviews gave me confidence to try it. And I'm glad I did! The effect was that it made my waist look smaller, in my opinion. It was the perfect dress for a formal wedding!

Comfortable, forgiving, and perfect for an 80s gala
Loved the sleeves, obviously. It was the perfect choice for an 80s gala. Something that wasn't costume, but like if you're in the 80s but still going to a gala. The fabric is on the thicker side, so I didn't have to worry about the dreaded belly button indent that shows up in some dresses. I didn't realize how low cut it was until I put it on. It looked great and I was totally comfortable with it, but someone more conservative might not love that. Length was perfect. I really want to rent it again for a regular party.

Eleganza Mini Dress
Nookie
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"

Bust: 32D
Ill-fitting and unflattering for my body type
I really should believe reviews, but I always think...it will be different for me. It's not. Just like others say, the upper bodice is very large and ill-fitting. I have a large bust and thought I could maybe "fill it out" or something, but it's not that. It's just that the distance from the waist to the shoulders is too long. As if it needs to be taken in at the shoulder seam. With that odd length, it makes the back feature kind of poof out rather than lie flat. On top of that, the waist seam is in an unfortunate position, but that's my body's fault and not the fault of the dress. I shouldn't choose this cut of dress ever again. I wore it to a Derby party and it was fun for the event, but I definitely could have looked better with another choice of dress.

Total stunner that can drop it like it's hot
Every dress is my favorite rental, but this one truly takes the cake. It's so different. The color combo is absolutely stunning. I loved the way the upper part was cut. Very flattering for shoulders. Spanx are a definite necessity because it is completely body hugging, but not tight per se. There is a lot of stretch. I contemplated posting pics to prove it, but trust me, this dress didn't stop me from dropping it like it's hot.

Fun dress for Vegas!
I loved the perforations at the bottom! The neck was a little choke-y, but didn't bother me too much. Loved the length of the dress as well!

Super cute dress with unique details
Loved this dress. Easy to wear, stunning details, especially the gathered neck (obviously). Great length...not absurdly short. Perfect dress for a night in Vegas!

Hot dress for a Christmas party
This dress was amazing. It was super hot. It was on the short side, but just in the way that makes your legs look longer. I wish I had a better picture...this was taken before the party and was sent to my girlfriends who helped with hair advice. The dress was easy to wear and comfortable. I didn't realize that it was a 2 piece slip/dress combination, but the shape of the slip left the perfect amount of lace exposed. I really preferred nude heels to black and I wore crystal/clear/sparkly jewelry. I would totally rent this again!
