Just right
Wore this over a dress to an outdoor fall wedding. The color and fit were perfect and it kept me warm- just what I wanted!

Glad I was able to get this on/off
The dress is pretty flattering, but definitely size up. I checked other reviews and thought I would be OK, and I was not. It fit tighter than a glove; I couldn't bend or sit all night without risking it splitting. The fabric gets very tight at the rib she especially, but despite that it didn't do me any favors around the stomach. You'll want to wear a slimming undergarment, as long as you have a few millimeters to spare under the dress.

Unwearable
The sleeves on this shirt are crazy long. Even with the cuffs rolled my hands barely peeked out. It didn't fit like on the model, and I'm fairly close to her size. Rented for a work event and ended up wearing a black T-shirt because there was no way to wear this and maintain use of my arms.

Futuristic Rock Chic
I got lots of compliments, and despite wearing this in small town Texas and Louisiana, nobody gave me strange looks or comments. I felt so comfortable in this, and bonus points that it actually kept me warm and dry in a rainstorm.

Cheaper than I expected.
This skirt is a thin material wit a thin elastic waistband. I had a hard time keeping it in place, and the lack of structure makes it unflattering unless you have Spanx doing all the hard work already. The length was also too much for me, so I had to pull the skirt way up above my waist for it to fit right. Even if I'd gone down a size, I wouldn't have been happy with it.

Not for the faint of fashion.
Color- eye catching Pattern-classy and elegant Cut-Sexy, but comfortable. I was never worried about anything being out of place and didn't find myself "adjusting" constantly. The neckline is DEEP, which is not my style but I loved it. The slit in the skirt adds one extra dimension of sexiness. The long sleeves were, frankly, a welcome bit of coverage. Overall- the zipper was a challenge, but only at the seams. Once it was on it was very comfortable. The dress is made to get attention. Put your most confident foot forward and party on!

So comfortable!
I rented these for a rock concert, but I wore them non stop from the moment they came out of the bag until the moment I had to give them up. They are warm and comfy but look trendy and upscale. It felt like I was tricking people into believing I wasn't wearing pajamas.

So many compliments
People tag their reviews with that statement and now I finally get it. The server at our restaurant wouldn't stop telling me how much she liked it. We basically bonded over it and got to know her so well I hugged her on my way out. This sweater brings people together.

Itchy
I got complimented a lot on this dress and the fit was very flattering. Unfortunately the neckline was SO ITCHY I could barely stand it. I brought a soft scarf to tuck in to the neckline for relief every time we were away from people. It really kept me from being able to focus on the wedding and having a good time, so I wouldn't rent it again.
Blue Floral Halter Maxi

So well made
Pros: Classy, easy color to dress, gorgeous lines and cut, fabric doesn't wrinkle easily, POCKETS! Cons: I can't think of any. Maybe since the cut is on the long side, heels look much better than flats with this dress. I got tons of compliments on this dress- my husband even thought I should buy it.

Couldn't wear it
I rented this for three occasions in a row: a formal business meeting, a date night, and a formal fall wedding. I ended up wearing it to none of them. I like big jewelry, but instead of looking fresh and chunky, this necklace looked matronly. If you're going to a charity auction and want people to know you can afford to drop some money, this is for you. Otherwise, I'm not so sure.

Too big to wear
I still think these are beautiful, but I tried wearing them around the house the day before my event and I thought my ears were going to fall off.

The size of a bird
I expected a little heft to these earrings, but they are HUGE. Literally the size of a small bird each, and they are pretty heavy too. I have short hair and these would have looked crazy on me for a wedding.

Didn't wear it.
I'm a very standard size 2, and this wouldn't fit over any part of my body. Not to mention the material is way more see through than I expected. Disappointed.

Works with everything
I wore this bag to a concert, to a formal event and around town in between. It fit a full sized wallet, phone keys, sunglasses, etc, but still looks petite. The tassel is oversized and fun, and the best part is, it doesn't shed glitter.

Couldn't wear it
I couldn't decide whether to say this shirt runs small or runs large; the neckline was tiny but the top was huge! I was choking but also trying to tuck in all the extra fabric over the chest. Super weird fit, which is too bad, because the design is real cute.

Lots of compliments
This bracelet really pulled my outfit together. It was cute, and comfy and I got a lot of compliments on it. The only downside is that the stones are supposed to be stuck together and in several places they had come unglued from each other. It probably isn't noticeable to anyone that isn't wearing it.

Shine on girlfriend!
This bag is just fun - no need to wear anything else over the top- it has you covered. Size was great and I like the zipper pocket inside.

Classy and sassy
A) true to size B) Material is lighter weight than I anticipated but I like it that way. It makes it more wrinkle resistant. C) the fit and flow of the dress is jut smart and so flattering if you want to accentuate your legs. Neckline is very classy as well D) The deep blue color was the perfect backdrop to the flashy accessories I chose.

This dress was stunning and comfortable.
I wore this to a summer evening wedding. The length kept me from freezing in the church like I normally would, but the material was thin enough to keep me from overheating on the dance floor. The colors are beautiful; like cotton candy. The only downsides were the zipper was tough at the waistline, but that's somewhat expectable, and the length was an inch longer than I was hoping. No big deal, I was careful not to trip on it. For a strapless dress it held itself up well without constant awkward readjustment. Couldn't have been happier with it.

This was the perfect dress for Easter Sunday. Classy and timeless.
This dress was exquisite. The color was subtle and feminine, the cut was nice for a family event and very comfortable. Sometimes dresses with sleeves fit awkwardly around the shoulders, but this one did not. The details recommended going up a size and I'm glad I did. This particular dress had a few stray threads and a very minor stain on the front that was unnoticeable. Even that being said I didn't want to send it back. I would buy it if they let me.

This dress will definitely make you stand out in a crowd!
Fit: true to size, material is very comfortable and soft. Pros: color is gorgeous and will draw attention from anywhere. The cut outs will definitely get you noticed. Cons: despite being almost knee length, this dress is not appropriate for all occasions. The cut outs in the top of the dress are deep, so only wear it if you are prepared for the consequences. This dress is killer. Wear at your own risk.

Dress was stunning for a downtown evening wedding!
The smaller dress for tight across the neck, the size up was tight in the bust. I opted for the latter. Everywhere else it was very flattering.

This dress is elegant and fun, but not so flashy that it looks like you're trying too hard.
Dress fits true to size. I was very pleased with how well it shipped, and it held up very well through a rainy outdoor wedding. Wish I could say the same for my hair!

Bought this as a backup dress for a wedding
Didn't end up wearing this dress, as it was a little too flashy, but it was beautiful, and way more comfortable than the dress I ended up wearing. I will probably rent it again!
