Dress was comfortable and flattering!
Bust was a little snug but I'm small in the bust so it worked for me. Was nice that the waistline wasn't fitted, so it was forgiving!

Didn't wear the dress, look was a little awkward
Ended up borrowing a dress from a friend. The dress had an awkward look for me.

Dress was comfortable and flattering! Loved it!
Fit was as described, fabric was stretchy and the waistline was forgiving, which was very nice! Excited to rent it again sometime!

Didn't wear the dress
Size 0 was tight up top, fit well in the waist and huge in the hips and legs. Proportions seemed off-I'm small up top and a little bigger proportionally in my hips. Also think this would look better on someone taller, I'm 5'6" it made me look stumpy I thought.

The off the shoulder look
Fit was true to size. I'm not a zero but was able to make this work, it was overnighted to me when my dress didn't fit and the 2 wasn't available.I had my own dresses to wear but this one was so pretty I was uncomfortable all night so I could wear it. Arms and waist were snug on me. The top has some stretch to it but the band on the waist doesn't. Loved the off the shoulder look but it was difficult to dance it (couldn't lift my arms very high) but this would have been better with a larger dress

Didn't wear it
Dress was too tight in upper torso. I'm not a true zero but can sometimes get away with it depending on the dress and I fell in love with this one but there wasn't a 2 available to rent so I took a risk on the 0. Dress was very pretty, I was able to get it zipped up but way too tight up top. Very light weight as others have said and the collar part probably would have bugged me too had I actually gone to wear it, but beautiful dress

Comfortable and classy
Could fit into the zero but arms were tight, couldn't lift my arms so I went with the 2 which fit wonderfully. Wore to my husbands office Christmas party so it was fun, festive but conservative

Didn't get to wear the dress :(
The fit was incredibly small. From the reviews I could tell that the dress went small and a 0 might not fit, but a 2 wasn't available and I rarely wear a 4. The dress was so tight that size 4 would definitely have been the best/only fit for me. I'm not a true 0 but wear zeros often because so many things run large and because of my small bust, but this dress was so tight it made my back have cleavage! Go at least one maybe two sizes up from what you normally wear/rent. Dress was beautiful and well made material and seemed like it would be comfortable if it were the correct size. Would like to try again in a 4

Comfortable, fun, holiday sparkle, a little flirty but conservative enough for office party
The dress was a perfect fit for me. I have a very small bust and it was snug around the bust. Loved where the dress hit above the knee and the lace along the bottom was much prettier than i expected it to be. It was comfortable and fun to dance in. The zipper was difficult to zip, there can be NO tension along the waist to allow it to zip past that point (had to suck in and stop breathing while I zipped). Dress appeared to be brand new, if not then kept in very good condition which has not always been the case with other dresses I've rented. Definitely glad I chose this one!

Such An Illusion Dress

This dress was perfect! I felt glamorous at a winter black tie wedding.
The dress fit perfectly! I was able to wear 4 inch heels and the dress hit right above the ground. Perfect fit in waist, bust and length. Was great for dancing and had a very comfortable liner. The lace was getting pulled along the hem but I don't think anyone noticed. Didn't take any photos of the back but I got a lot of compliments on the detail of the back as well. Had so much fun wearing this dress!

Comfortable and great color
I really liked this dress and got a lot of compliments on it. It is very comfortable. Other reviews about the bust are definitely true-I am 34 AA and I couldn't wear a bra with the 2. I wore 2 inch heels and length was great. The dress is not forgiving at all, after the very fitted top hits the waist all tummy pudge will be shown! I tried to wear spanx to smooth things out but couldn't because a seam showed through. My advice would be to only order the dress if you are very small up top, don't plan to wear a bra, and have a few undergarment options!

I was wearing a great dress while celebrating the wedding of a great friend.
Loved this dress. I ordered 0L & 2L but was sent 0R & 2R, I wore 2 inch heels and the dress was about an inch off the floor. I wore the 0 instead of the 2 to fit a little more snug in the bust. The dress had a lot of stretch, which was nice.

I felt great in this great!
Loved the dress. Like other reviews have said the 2 downsides: 1) zipper is extremely difficult to zip up (the 0R was a much better fit, but I almost couldn't wear it because I couldn't get the zipper up! Usually this is because you need to wear a bigger size...but the zipper could have almost no tension on it to be able to zip. It was frustrating 2) the dress is long. I am 5'6" and I wore 3 inch heels, it was just about perfect for me, it dragged a little bit. Otherwise I loved everything about it! I got a lot of compliments and felt really pretty in the dress
