My Rehearsal Dress
I wore this for my wedding rehearsal dinner as I wanted an alternative to white. It's very pretty. The slip was a little short, although it was not a problem since I am petite. It does highlight the belly area a bit, so if it is a problem area, shape wear should fix the problem.

Runs Small.
Runs small. I didn't end up wearing it. I'm usually between a medium and a large and I found the large too small. I would size up. And if you're normally a large and busty, considering looking elsewhere unless you're sure this brand fits you in a large.

Pretty, but plunging
Very pretty dress but it will need some creative "alterations". As other reviewers mentioned the straps are way too long and they are not adjustable, so you may have to find a way to adjust on your own. I created a halter top by tying the straps together at my neck with a ribbon. Also, if you are busty you will be showing lots of cleavage so fashion tape is a must.

Form Fitting
It's very form fitting and not loose like in the picture. If you want it to fit like a shift, I would recommend sizing up two sizes. If you want it to be tight and form fitting, I'd go with your regular size. I ended up not wearing this dress as our plans changed and it would have been too dressy for the new location. The back up size I got was a little worse for wear and should probably be taken out of circulation soon. There was a small hole near the zipper and the fabric/sequins were rather worn out. The original size was in good condition.

Perfect for a "Bling" theme wedding.
I wore this to a wedding that was themed "winter and bling". I loved the long sleeves and got compliments from lots of strangers at the wedding. There were a few sequins that were lose and I had to be careful as they got caught easily (mostly on the dress itself).

One Year Anniversary Dinner Date
I wore this for my one year anniversary. It was really cute and flattering. The sleeves and chest were a little big, but I think it was just because I wore a medium because they didn't have a small. I would definitely recommend it.

Really cute! Would rent again!
I wore this for my sister-in-law's rehearsal dinner. The cute of the dress is so cute and I got lots of compliments. It's comfortable and it's made of a heavier fabric that looks really nice. I definitely recommend this dress.

Perfect for my sister-in-law's wedding.
SO pretty! I wore this last weekend to my sister-in-law's wedding. It was actually my back up dress as my original choice was not returned on time by the previous renter, which actually worked out great because I liked this one better. I got lots of compliments :). It was the right length and great to dance in. My only complaint would be that for a bustier person like me, the top smushes your chest down. It wasn't uncomfortable or anything, but there wasn't much room up top.

Gorgeous bachelorette dress that got lots of compliments!
I wore this to my bachelorette party a couple of weeks ago. It's definitely a show stopping dress that will get you lots of compliments and lots of "where did you get your dress?". Looks much prettier in person. All of my friends and fiance said I should buy the dress to keep LOL! I ordered both the small and the medium. Both fit, but I ended up going with the medium, even though it felt a slightly loose around the shoulders/neckline, because 1. the zipper on the small was hard to zip and 2. the medium was slightly longer and a little less tight which made me feel more comfortable since I don't normally wear tight dresses. Definitely recommend!!!

Beautiful dress for a bridal shower. Received lots of compliments.
I wore this dress for my bridal shower and it was very pretty! I'm usually a 4, sometimes a 6 pending the brand because of my bust and opted for the 6 based on other renters' reviews. The tulle and the fabric looked great and, other than a small spot of dirt on the neckline that I was able to mostly clean off with a towel and water and scuffs on the zipper, the dress was in good condition. I'm a 34 D and the bust was really tight, so I didn't wear a bra. If you're bigger busted like I am you're going to be squished on top, but I wasn't uncomfortable. It's a shorter dress, but since I'm petite it was the right length and hit me a few inches above my knee. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because of the tight bust. Also dress doesn't have any stretch so I recommend either ordering a size up or getting a back up size just in case.

Beautiful, received lots of compliments!
Dress was beautiful and I received lots of compliments. I rented this for a black tie optional wedding. The dress runs small in the bust area, so if you have a larger bust, I would recommend sizing up or ordering a backup size that is a size larger. I'm a 34D and it was pretty tight around the chest. Fortunately the tulle for the shoulder strap covered my chest and you couldn't tell that it was tight and I didn't need to wear a bra. Everywhere else it fit true to size. I'm 5'2" and wore 4 inch heels and the petite length was perfect for me. Other reviewers recommended that you keep an eye out with your heels getting caught up in the tulle at the hem and I'm glad they did because it is very easy to get your heels caught, so I made sure to be careful. The dress had some small tears where the tulle for the shoulder met the neckline. But once the dress was on, you couldn't see them. The dress has layers of nice fabric so it can get a bit warm. It turned out to be perfect for me because the outside temps dropped into the 50s and it was an outdoor wedding, so with the dress and a shawl I did not get cold. If it weren't for the tightness of the bust and the small tears, the dress would be 5 stars! :)
