Did not wear
I felt kinda ridiculous in this thing. I wanted to love it but it was a little witchy. I carry all of my weight in my hips/butt. While the elastic band made my waist look teeny tiny there was just too much volume in my booty/ hip area. It wasn't doing me any favors so back it went.

Truly itty bitty
Very cute. Very tiny. This literally holds an iPhone, 2 credit cards and a lipstick. That's it! The leather is a nice rich color and great quality. It's just not a very practical size.

Good size clutch. Easy to transition from work bag to clutch for after work drinks. Held lots of items and the quality was really nice.

Great Statement Piece
It's really big/heavy but I received lots of compliments every time I wore it. It was a great way to dress up a simple blouse.

Cute but not for me
The medium ended up fitting me better than the small. I rented this to wear to a Britney Spears concert in Las Vegas. I ended up not wearing it because: 1) the keyhole front was super revealing (lots of boob tape would be needed) or you'd have to be OK with your bra showing) 2) my legs are really pale right now and I didn't feel it looked as cute with tights 3) I'm tall and if I raise my arms up the shorts were indecently short. 4) it got super wrinkled in my suitcase (it's made of a really nice gauzey cotton) Since I knew I'd be dancing and the temps in Vegas that night were only in the 50s I decided to wear leather leggings and a tank instead. Overall, I liked it and it fit (I was impressed that the sleeves were long enough for me) but it just wasn't right for my event.

Sleek and Sexy LBD
Loved this dress. I usually wear a size 8 and the 8 fit perfectly! (luckily bc the 10 wasn't available). It is very form fitting in the hip/rear area and the fabric has very little give so I would definitely recommend a back-up size. Super flattering, the lace insets were a nice addition, and very subtle. The dress is secure enough that going braless isn't an issue. The band that goes across the back is like a bra strap so you can make it tighter or looser using the hook-eye closures. This is a LBD that I wish I could keep in my closet forever...

Stunning!
This dress fit like a glove. I normally wear an 8 but after reading the reviews I'm glad I sized up. The fabric has no stretch but the overall fit was amazing and super flattering. Very sad to send it back, worth every penny.

Lovely but clearly popular!
This dress didn't come without it's issues. I rented a size 8R and 6R (I'm normally an 8 sometimes a 10 if a dress is very fitted in the hips...but never a 6). I ended up wearing the 6 because the 8R wasn't available. The previous renter had either damaged or not returned the dress in time. So only the 6 was sent, that was upsetting but customer service was very helpful and sent me another dress in a size 8 for free. The 6 ended up fitting fine, which was a relief because I really wanted to wear this dress! The 6 was in sorry shape though, there was a stain on the chest (looked like a spilled cocktail) I didn't notice it until I already had it on and was in the car en route to the wedding--it wasn't very noticeable but disappointing none the less, the hem was frayed in the back, one of the balls on the front collar was coming undone, there were some pulls in the fabric. Luckily it's a busy pattern and the wears/tears were in inconspicuous places, but I still paid good money to rent the dress, I would expect that it not show up dirty and tattered. Long story short, I loved the dress. Glad I got wear it, and the issues I experienced weren't enough to sour me on the experience as a whole.

Poor Fit
This dress is really beautiful. I rented it in a 8 & 10 for a friends bridal shower. I really loved it but it is not curvy girl friendly. I'm bigger on the bottom than on top, and this is cut pretty straight up and down. The 8 fit like a glove but it super tight on the bottom through the hips/butt, and has other reviews have mentioned there is no stretch, and the slit in the back was very high (inappropriately so). So I tried on the 10, same exact fit issues--just as tight in the hips. I laid the two dresses on top of each other 10 on the bottom 8 on top, and they are nearly identical in size. I would say the 10 is maybe 3/4" of in inch bigger, but not enough to make a difference. I tried the 10 again with spanx but I just don't think its worth be uncomfortable and worrying about splitting the dress. I loved it and would recommend it for girls who are straight up and down.

Loved it!
This dress fit great, and looked amazing. Beautiful color. Very comfortable and flattering silhouette. There are pockets that, looked very bunchy around the hips when I first tried it on but after I ironed the pockets they laid flat and were no longer noticeable. I would definitely rent this dress again.

Loved it!
Very pretty summery maxi dress. I loved the colors and thought it was very unique. I had to wear it with flats in order to not see my feet. Boning was a little uncomfortable but overall great dress!

loved the top
The bottom was too tight and a little sheer. The yellow was more chartreuse than the sunny yellow in the picture. I liked it but it was too tight to wear, and too short for me!

Shorter than expected
I loved the color, its a very rich royal blue. It was a little shorter than I expected. The skirt is very swingy and great if you're trying to conceal larger hips/thighs, but it was a little too short on me and a little too loose. I think a size 6 might have been too tight in the bust and probably even shorter. I ended up not wearing this because of the length.
