Perfect for maternity
This dress is the prettiest shade of blush and very flattering on a baby bump. It was comfortable and didn't require a bra. That being said the 6 was big on me-- mostly in the bust section, but could have felt better if it was a tad more snug all around. I thought I rented the 6 and 8, so I wore the 6 without checking. Turns out I ordered the 6 and the 4 (duh). Should have worn the 4! But highly recommend! It was beautiful.

Perfect for maternity
Im 17 weeks pregnant and this dress was comfortable and very flattering to the bump. I rented the SR & MR, and to my surprise the SR fit perfectly-- which tells me it runs a bit big (since I've already gained 18 lbs). I highly recommend. Very chic shade of orange.

Perfect masquerade dress!
The dress was perfect for a fall masquerade. It was comfortable. The small was a little tight around the ribcage so I wore the M. That fit well. The picture makes me look a little pregnant but I think it's the angle. It didn't stick out in the front the way it shows here. The bottom is puffy but just the right amount. Very cute on.

Perfect Thanksgiving/Holiday party dress
This dress fits a bit small. I wore the medium and it was perfect. The color is different and eye catching-- very autumnal. It's the perfect amount of dressy for a pre holiday party on the earlier side of the evening. Very comfortable. Recommend.

Impressive but small!
The skirt is ver versatile. I wore it for thanksgiving with a tucked in white button down and it looked fabulous. The skirt runs small on the waist-- so I would have been more comfortable with a size 8, but the 6 was fine. The fabric and pattern could be dressed up or dressed down. Definitely would rent again.

Comfortable, chic, & sexy
Rented shortly after my 3rd baby was born. The 6 fit well. Fabric is substantial so it concealed all the right places. Sexy and sophisticated look. I felt comfortable and confident. I would definitely rent it again.

Fun and sexy
I rented this dress 6 weeks after my 3rd baby was born. I usually wear a size 4-- the 6 fit but was snug around the shoulders (the dress ha no give in the fabric)-- the 8 was more comfortable around shoulders but looser in cheat area. I work the 8 anyway. Very flattering on the rest of my body (covered all the right places and was very comfortable. My boobs could have used a bit more coverage (I could have pinned the front but didn't have time!). Overall, I felt fun, flirty, and sexy in this dress. The fabric is beautiful and the color was more of a burnt red than a true red but was great for a warm autumn night.

Perfect for pregnancy!
I'm 5.5 months pregnant with my third, so needless to say, not as "petite" looking as I did pregnant with my first, but this dress covered all of the right places while still looking fun and fresh! It was very comfortable and fit like a larger medium than like a true medium. I wore a racerback bra without showing any lines. Definitely needs seamless underwear-- fabric thin and light. Perfect length with wedges or flats. Great dress for Spring/Summer party.

Sophisticated and feminine
The jumper was very sophisticated and feminine-- but conservative even with the mesh bust. I could have worn the 4, but felt a little uncomfortable on the inseam. The material feels pretty cheap but over all it looked good on. Biggest con would be the cheap zipper! It got stuck and was very inconvenient when I had to use the bathroom!

Comfortable and formal
I chose this dress for a black tie event. I had recently had a baby and I wanted to hide the bottom half of my body. This dress did the trick perfectly. It was comfortable and I felt appropriately dressed. The zipper is a bit of a pain-- pretty cheap for the dress-- kept getting stuck. Fits a bit tighter around the rob cage so I went with the 6R.

Very comfortable and flattering
The cap sleeves are a nice touch but makes wearing a bra challenging

Wore it with a black sleeveless blouse and black peer toe heels. Looked fun and elegant.
The skirt has some give to it, so it compliments curves, but the waist doesn't have any elastic so it felt a little constricting. I could have works the 4 if it weren't for the waist. If you have thinner legs/hips than midsection I would go for a size 6 or 8. Also, the color is not as bright red as it is in the pictures, it is more burgundy.
