Runs Small and No Give
This was an elegant dark green dress but unfortunately I couldn’t wear it. It was too tight. It felt like it would’ve been a bit stiff too.

A LOT of Cleavage and High Slit
Im pretty busty so the amount of cleavage with this dress!!! Def not appropriate for family thanksgiving. The slit ran pretty high up towards my crotch. Needless to say, I did not wear this dress.

Unflattering and Too Baggy
I did not wear this dress. It looked terrible on me. It looked like a huge potato sack. Did not “hug” anywhere but my lower belly pooch. :(

Figure Flattering
Beautiful but excess fabric bunched up in the back. Looked great in the front bc I have a large chest and I did size up. But I don't have much of a booty so didn't look that great in the back. Ceremony I was attending was cancelled so I didn't get to wear it but I was planning on putting on a blazer or cardigan and it would've been very nice.

So Cute but Size Up
Loved this cute romper but I'm partial to off the shoulder. No pockets but still had a casual but nice vibe to it. Depending on your accessories you can make this romper dressy or cute casual. I didn't wear it bc it was a little too tight for comfort.

Pretty design but kind of boring. No visible shimmer or sparkle as the color of the stones are a bit dark. Wouldn't rent again.

Sexy but Casual
I took previous reviewers' suggestion and sized up. Good thing too bc it was definitely on the smaller side. The bigger size fit just right. I love the pockets on the dress and the belt cinches your waist. The only thing I wasn't too crazy about is how the fabric wrinkles very easily. Be sure to take it out of the bag and hang it up right away to prevent extra wrinkles. Loved it though. Will try to purchase.

I squeezed into this dress and technically it fit but was on the tighter side of fitting. It was too tight to be comfortable in for dinner so I ended up not wearing it :( I would rent this again after I've lost a few lbs. It is extremely sexy and showed off my curves. Beautiful dress.

Unexpectedly Sexy
This dress looks simple and casual, but something about the buttons going all the way down the dress and leaving 2 or 3 buttons undone, that made it so sexy. Very flattering and comfortable. Loved it and would def rent again.

Beautiful but A LOT of Cleavage
This dress fit very lovely but I rented it as a backup dress for Easter. It fit true to size but I agree with the other ladies that a camisole might be handy if you don't want to show off too much cleavage. I didn't think it was appropriate for a family dinner so I wore my first choice. The fabric is beautiful and very feminine with intricate detail.

Nice but better for fit body
Rented this one as a backup for a work holiday party. It fit a little too snug and the fabric is thinner than my main dress. This will put every flaw out there. And bc of the midsection cutouts and open back its almost impossible to wear shapewear. Id rent this again but maybe after i lose some extra thanksgiving weight.

Too Sexy for Work Party
This dress was my backup but would def rent again for another event - probably a date. It fit very well for the most part and was very comfortable. For me personally, id have to wear some type of bra for a better look (not a slight bra-less sag). Loved!

Sexy and Classy
I usually wear a size up in everything. So i was nervous when my bigger size was not available. But the size 8 fit perfect! Just the perfect amount of fittedness and it really showed off my curves. The only "con" was that the sleeves around my underarms were a little tight so that was slightly uncomfortable. I would def rent this one again. And i didnt need to wear a bra!

Loved the colors & patterns!
I love everything Nicole Miller. This is the first design of her's that I've worn with such a beautiful use of color and patterns. I wore it in the NM and I felt like I fit in with this artistic piece. However, the top is a bit on the smaller/tighter side and I was on that fine line of feeling like I might bust out. Overall, I loved this dress for a night out with the hubby in Albuquerque.

Sexy & Slimming
As everyone has described, this dress fits so perfectly. I wore shapewear for a cleaner look which always makes a noticeable difference. I did not wear a bra even though I could've used the support. Surprisingly, the top was not as tight as I expected. This is always an issue for me since I'm busty. However, a bra can definitely be worn, it just has to be very low-cut. I also rented the Kendra Scott Teal Porter earrings which matched perfectly. Sexy anniversary look.

Beautiful and so flattering!
I cannot think of any bad things to say about this dress. It fit absolutely perfect and was very comfortable and extremely flattering. It really showed off my figure. I wore it for a small NYE get-together at my parents' - so I wanted to wear something sexy (for me & my husband) but classy at the same time. And this dress definitely delivered. I wore shapewear for a clean look and a single-strap bra. I paired it with black peep-toe booties and the overall look was great. Got many compliments all night! I say this every time but I really wish I could keep this dress. And one other thing - the dress is definitely violet and black. It says it in the description but I thought it was blue based on the pictures. Still very beautiful!

I liked this dress a lot. However, because of my short torso I don't think the open back looked that great. Also, don't forget back tan lines! The dress zips up to below a bra strap which was another issue for me. I would rent this one again!

This was my backup dress and was not very comfortable. It was very tight and the armholes are very small. I was going to go with my original but my husband liked this one more. I did not feel comfortable moving in it too much because it was very tight. I do not think I'd rent it again.

Updo's Work Best for Brunettes
These earrings matched perfectly with my dress. They are not too heavy although I was a little afraid the earrings might fall off because the backs did not feel very tight. So when I would tuck a strand of hair behind my ear, I was careful to brush the earring. Also, being a brunette, I noticed that the earrings look much better with an updo because the earrings blended in with my dark hair especially since the earrings mostly consist of black stones.

Sexy and Conservative Was Possible
This dress is very flattering. I felt like it made me look slim - the bunching design around the midsection is very forgiving. It was long enough to where it was conservative for church but had just enough cleavage to make me feel sexy. The only thing that bothered me about this dress was that I had to keep pulling in my bra straps. Perhaps a racer back-style bra would work better. Other than that, this dress was extremely comfortable to wear. And the color was absolutely beautiful for a spring/summer event. Highly recommend.

Perfect Color & Size
I rented this bag to go with a green dress I wore to a Christening and it matched great with the heels I chose. The bag was the perfect size for a few cards, lipstick, and iPhone. The only thing that worried me throughout the day is that something could've have fallen out of the bag because it does not have a zipper for the main compartment. It only has a flap that closes over the top but the two ends are left open. I guess as long as you're not constantly flipping the bag over and keep it facing up then you should be fine. It also has the option to use as an over-the-shoulder with the chain or just as a clutch. Overall, great bag.

Conservative Enough for Christening
This dress is exactly what I had in mind for a Christening in the spring. The color is very beautiful and vibrant. However, I didn't think it was as flattering on my body type. I have a short waist and look better in dresses that elongate my torso. The design does cinch in at the waist but I think it'd look better on women with longer torsos. I ended up going with my backup dress.

Perfect Spring Color But Lots of Cleavage!
I rented this dress as a backup for Easter dinner - even after reading the previous reviews about some issues with excessive cleavage. The dress was beautiful except that I would have felt uncomfortable wearing it for this occasion (my cleavage would've been too out there). However, I would consider wearing it for another event. Also, the fabric is not very forgiving so shape-wear is a must!

More Orange-Based Than Expected
This dress was beautiful for Easter Sunday dinner. It was conservative enough for dinner with the family but very feminine and fresh. The color is so pretty but I expected it to be a soft pastel with more of peach tone. My first thought when I saw the dress in person was "orange?!" but it's a soft orange, definitely not overwhelmingly bright. The fit was just right - however, a little Spanx goes a long way.

Flirty and Feminine
I'm not big on floral designs but I wanted to wear a dress that was pretty, a bit sexy, but mostly girly for a baby shower. I felt very feminine in this dress and the length (hit just a tad above my knee) was conservative enough. However,...the set of hooks that controls the cleavage were missing! Without them I had major cleavage going on - I wouldn't have been able to wear this dress at all had I not found a small safety pin. Also, the ruffles were wrinkled and folded over my chest (I don't own a steamer iron). So overall, it was a beautiful dress but I was somewhat disappointed with the state of the dress.
