Busty, Even in Quarantine
This was my free birthday rental and I forgot to cancel before the COVID-19 lockdown in Ohio. Whoops. My husband loved it but I felt it was a tad too revealing. The small fit great, except the bust, which did not cover my bra. The medium was better, but still had some bra peeking out. Overall the dress was flattering and fun for a virtual double date in our house.

Perfect Masquerade Dress
This was very comfortable for a Winter masquerade fundraiser. I felt good and it was easy to move in/dance. The sleeves have a few inches with a zipper at the bottom so you can adjust to get on over watches, etc.

Another winner
I could have fit in the 4, but with a big dinner planned, I opted for the 6. It still held the girls in. The dress was comfortable and well made. It is short, so no bending over!

Favorite so far
I fit in the 4, but the 6 looked better. This dress felt well made and the fit was very flattering. Plenty of room in the size 6 for a 34D bust. This is my new favorite rental!

Happy I tried something different
This ring was big but comfortable. It was a nice compliment to the dress I wore.

Flattering but short
I ordered this in a 6 for a wedding, but also a backup, which I liked more. This dress was flattering but short. I am 5'4 and with kitten heels the dress wasn't as long as I'd like.

Boob enhancing show stopper
I received a ton of compliments on this dress and felt very glamorous. It was comfortable and the draping helped masquerade my postpartum pooch better than my backup dress option. But, it made my large nursing boobs look enormous, so take that into consideration. This dress probably wouldn't work well for someone. with a small chest and short torso. My one complaint is that the zipper is terrible and extremely difficult to zip up over the horizontal seams.

Comfortable but not flattering for postpartum tummies
I liked this dress. High quality zipper, lined, stretchy and comfortable despite being tight. But, it showed off my post baby pooch too much.

Perfect size
Fit my iPhone 7 Plus but wasn't big or bulky. Slots for credit cards which were convenient.

Gorgeous and perfect size
These looked gorgeous with my sequin gold dress. Not too flashy or big, but not small either. Would definitely rent again.

Husband loved it
The material is very light. The length was great because I am short and didn't have to hold it up. It was easy to dance in.
After the Wave Gown
Vera Wang
Size Worn: 8P
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 151lbs
Bust: 34D
Hot but daring
This made my two-months postpartum body look amazing but I was afraid to wear it. The low cut back means one false move and the strap would fall and expose my bust. The split is very high, so if you are going to be dancing you'll need bike shorts.
Navy Contrast Crepe Satin Gown

Flattering and comfortable
I'm 2-months postpartum and this dress was so flattering to my larger than usual size (currently 151 lbs) and bust. I felt GOOD and got plenty of compliments.

Big and Pretty
These were very solid - bigger than expected, but great size. They looked great with the dress I wore to a recent wedding. They were comfortable all night.

Unique but poochy
This is a cool dress and worked well for a hot outdoor wedding. But something about the style made my belly pouch stand out.

These were much heftier than expected, but gorgeous and didn't feel heavy when worn. Looked great with my black lace dress.

Sexy Yet Subtle
I've rented 4 dresses before this one and this one is by far my favorite. As other commentators noted, the lace sleeves were tight, and I couldn't raise my arms above my shoulders. But, the fit was very flattering (I don't have hips or much of a waist, and I'm busty). I didn't have to wear a bra, which made this very comfortable. My boobs almost didn't fit, but luckily they did because I didn't have a bigger back up size. The peek a boo front was very subtle - sexy! Wore this for a very special night on the town with two other couples.

Very comfortable for a wedding
I tired on both 6 and 8 and the 6 looked best. It was very comfortable for a long night of coordinating a wedding and also being a guest. I never got hot or cold.

Great neutral dress for a winter brunch party.
I didn't even try on the 6 because the 8 was the perfect fit for my bust. The dress was very comfortable and I think the arms and bust looked great. It was slightly baggy at the waist, and the lining kept riding up. But overall, it hit the mark on what I needed for the party and family pictures.

Fit like a glove
I'm 5'4" and 138 lbs. Size 34DD. The size 8 fit perfectly. It is almost indecently short when sitting down. I wouldn't be comfortable dancing the night away in it, but it was perfect for a nice dinner date and drinks. My husband loved it.
