Fun, but way more dressy than expected.
I expected this dress to be a cotton fun summery dress. It ended up being a chiffon type material and it was very uncomfortable to wear for very long. I ended up just wearing it to dinner and changing as soon as it was done. I definitely wouldn't rent this one again.

Perfect fit and perfect dress
This has been one of my favorite dresses. It fit me like a glove and flowed oh so nicely. It was quite long but with about 3 1/2, 4 inch heels it just grazed around my shoes. The pleats in the skirt just made it swish and sway so prettily. I loved the cutouts and how they were lined with a nude color. I wore a strapless bra and it didn't show. I added some neon jewelry to make it more springy and youthful. I loved this dress and I wish I had another place to wear it!

Pretty color but not too exciting.
I loved this dress online but it just wasn't flattering when it was on. It was pretty blasé and I felt way too casual in this dress. It was tight on my shoulders, and I do have a little bit bigger shoulders but it was uncomfortable to move. The button on the back of the dress seemed to be too delicate and I was worried it would fall off. This dress could be pretty but it didn't suit me.

Such a show stopper
I loved this dress and it was absolutely stunning but I'm giving it a 3 because it has such an odd fit. The 8 fit me well enough and was a great length. I wore 3 inch heels and it grazed the ground. It was tight around my hips, and the bust area was slightly odd. I did try the 10 and it was drowning me, way too loose in the chest and extremely longer than the 8. Overall it did look good and I could wear a strapless nude bra without it actually showing. The slits made it comfortable to move around.

Perfect for Vegas or going out
I wore this dress for a night out on the town in Vegas. The Large definitely was more comfortable since it is a tighter dress, more of a bandage style. It's very sassy and flirty, a very fun dress. It was on the shorter side but I was still covered up. I thought this dress was great, although the fabric isn't that special and it's thicker so it keeps you warm.

Great party dress, really sexy.
This dress is a lot sexier than it seems. The front is quite a deep V and the dress is rather short. I like the style for a fun party, but the sequins were a bit scratchy. I didn't totally feel comfortable with such a low front, but it could easily be fixed with fashion tape. Fun dress but not my favorite.

So pretty, a total showstopper.
I didn't get the chance to actually wear this dress. It was a bit too formal for the occasion, and I almost felt like I was wearing a wedding dress. It was extremely fancy, the train was long on me, even being 5'10". I think I would have been better off wearing a 8R, because my heels weren't tall enough for it to not drag the ground. I am bummed it didn't work out, it was so stunning.

Fun dress for a party.
This dress isn't super exciting from the front, but it was definitely a fun dress for a party! I liked it because of the back and the lace detailing, but the front was very plain. It was super comfortable and nice and flowy.

Pleasant Surprise
It's too bad I couldn't wear these. They came as a stylist surprise and they fit perfectly with my first dress. They are light and extremely gorgeous, albeit simple.

Perfect Gatsby Style Dress.
The beading on this dress is just exquisite. It ended up being a replacement dress for a gown I had originally rented for a Great Gatsby themed Formal. This dress was fun and really pretty. The 8 fit me but it rubbed like crazy around my neck and arms, so I sized up and while it was still rubbing it was more comfortable. This fit the theme perfectly and I was so glad it worked out. The beading is definitely fantastic.

Interesting dress to say the least...
The sheer part in the front and the open back is what attracted me to this dress. It fits true to size but is also very stretchy. You essentially can't wear a bra with this at all. The fabric is really thick, and so it would definitely cover your chest up. The V is essentially right where your chest would fall. It definitely flattened me out. The bottom also flipped out and I didn't totally love it. I liked the details but overall this dress just fit really weird.

Hot dress will garner tons of compliments!
Everyone loved this dress- especially me. It had a great fit, it was fun, it was comfortable and it wasn't too short (a favorite for a tall girl like me)! I went to a formal in this dress and I couldn't have picked a better one. I wore a sticky bra, since it it sheer in the back. I felt totally comfortable in it all night. I rented both the M and L but I went with the L, just because the sleeves fit better on me. I honestly could have worn a nude bra with this and been just fine but I liked the shock factor. I will consider renting this dress again--- that's how much I loved it!

Perfect for a 21st, flattering, fun and sophisticated
I loved this dress. I probably could have fit into the medium but it was kind of hard to get on, considering the zipper was under the lace and hard to maneuver. I didn't mind wearing the Large though because it was comfy and I didn't have to worry about wearing spanx or anything under. This dress was so comfy and flattering. You definitely need a strapless bra but you'll get SO many compliments!

Nothing too special.
This dress is fun but wasn't my favorite. I fit in both the 8 and 10 but the 8 was much shorter than the 10 (about 3-4 inches), so I stuck with the ten. I belted it with a pink belt and it made it much cute. It is a cute dress but I didn't love the fit. It was kind of childish and I wouldn't choose it to go out for a night because it was a little heavier.

Loved the bling! Such a great set.
They were a little small but they had just enough bulk to not be obnoxiously loud. They were stunning and such a fun touch to my outfit. I wish I could keep this. I will rent again!

These earrings completed my outfit perfectly!
These earrings were beautiful. They weren't too heavy and they added just the special touch to the outfit. They were a little tarnished on the back but it wasn't noticeable whatsoever. I wore these all night without having a problem. I'm so glad I rented them and I definitely would again!
