Beautiful fabric, very weird sleeves
The fabric and color of this dress are great, but the sleeves are a mess. It's nearly impossible to keep the hang-ribbons hidden. There are weird covered elastic things to keep the sleeves up, but they don't work. I ended up having to safety pin the sleeves to the elastics--it worked fine, but I don't know that I would recommend this dress to others.

A little small, but otherwise OK
I'm pretty much a straight 6, and the bodice on this was a bit too tight for me. I could zip it, and it wasn't terribly uncomfortable, but it looked like I was poured into it (not a great look). Chose to pass on wearing.

A bit odd sizing, but ultimately perfect
I rented this in both a petite and regular size, and oddly enough the petite actually seemed roomier through the bust and hips. Regardless the length was perfect. Wore this to an awards event. Pro tip--if you're concerned about it showing a bit more underboob cleavage than you'd like, add a safety pin just uner the bottom of the 'x' to keep it in place!
Black Adalyn Gown

Usual Size: 6

Wore this for my funeral-themed 30th birthday (a funeral for my 20's)
Would probably be more true to size if you don't have any curves. I could fit in the 6, but it was really tight in the chest--the 8 gave me more comfortable room.

I rented this for my rehearsal dinner--Yellow was a key color.
This came out a lot greener than I anticipated, and the color didn't really work with my fair skin. It fit ok, but ran pretty small. I've got a long waist so it was a little finnicky there as well. Good quality though!
