Comfortable, Sexy Dress for Cold Weather
I rented this dress to dress up as Morticia Addams for Halloween. The dress was perfect for the character and was comfortable to wear all night. It provides more coverage than I expected and I did not feel overexposed with the mesh panels. I will definitely rent again!

So comfortable. Loved the color!
I wore this to my birthday dinner and out for drinks. The jumpsuit was very comfortable and chic. As other reviewers have said, the legs are long, but I thought they were fine with heels. The neckline is low, but not as low as it appears on the model. I wore a crop top under it to avoid too much cleavage (I was out with my parents and my boyfriend's parents so I wanted to play it more conservative). I think a deep V bra would work as well. I will definitely rent this again!

Beautiful earrings. Looked cool as ear cuffs.
I ended up removing these because they are clip-ons and they began to pinch my ears. They looked cool as ear cuffs as another reviewer noted. (I'm just a wimp when it comes to clip-ons.)

Great for holiday party. Sleeves are VERY tight.
The dress was beautiful and conservative for a holiday party with my boyfriend's family. I paired it with black tights and black and gold wedges (I can't seem to find a picture though). The pockets were useful for holding my phone and lipstick. My one complaint is that the sleeves had no give at all. They fit over my arms, but were very snug because there was so stretch to them.

Flowy, breathable and comfortable for a formal summer wedding.
I loved dancing in this dress because of the flowy, long skirt. It was a bit too long for the three inch heels I was wearing, but I held it up as I was dancing so it was fine. I could wear a normal bra (though I would advise using pins or fashion tape to make sure it doesn't peek out). I paired it with the bracelets RTR suggested and the whole outfit looked great.

Great for formal/black tie wedding
I wore these with a blue gown for a formal wedding last night. I wasn't wearing any other jewelry so they added the perfect amount of sparkle.

Wore to summer wedding in Boston
This dress fit well and was very comfortable to dance in all night. The length and sleeves were formal enough for an evening wedding, while still cool enough for summer. I'm glad I rented this as a backup (my original dress was too short).

Can be dressed up or down--very short though
I rented this for a wedding, as well as a backup dress. This was a fun, comfortable dress that fit very well, but it was very short. I opted not to wear it to the wedding because of its length, but it served well as a dress for going out the night before the wedding. I will definitely be renting this again.

Bright, comfortable dress for cocktail party or wedding.
I wore this to a wedding in May. It was comfortable and easy to dress up or down. My only complaint is that I did not realize how low the back was so I did not bring the right bra for it. It ended up working out, but keep in mind that you need a low-back bra. Definitely a great dress for summer weddings!

Fun, but one was broken.
One of the earring backs was broken when it arrived so I used part of a wine bottle cork (I was out of town so I did not have any other earring backs with me). That ended up working so I wore them the whole night. They were not too heavy on my ears, like dangly earrings can be. The color was pretty and they popped in pictures even with my hair down. I'd definitely recommend them (as long as you bring extra earring backs).

Beautiful dress, but small around the armpit.
I wore this to the opera. The green on the dress was beautiful and really popped against the black. The 4 fit but was a little uncomfortable around the armpit, so I wore the 6. It was roomier in the stomach area and a bit longer, but still fit well. Women with green eyes should consider this dress because of the emerald hue. My eyes looked so bright next to the green metallic on the dress. Overall, the dress was great for the occasion, but a little stiff around the collar and armpit.

This was a fun and formal outfit for wine tasting and dinner on Valentine's Day.
The length is short, so go a size up if you want a longer bottom. Also, the back is sheer. This can be easily covered up with a cami. Overall, I loved this romper and would definitely rent it again for a bachelorette party or another date.

I needed a dress last-minute for a holiday party and this was a unique formal look.
The fit was great. I danced all night and had no problems.
