Brilliant color, fun to dance in. Straps too long.
My dress size is a 2, but the 2 was super tight in the ribs and fit perfectly everywhere else. I knew I'd be uncomfortable (wanted to breathe), though, so I ended up wearing the 4, which fit well everywhere except the bust. I'm a 34A and, without adjustable straps, I was fidgeting with the top all night and thought it looked big. Kind of annoying, but I still loved it. Probably wouldn't rent again, but would buy it and alter it.

Jewel Rosette Lana Dress
SALONI
Size Worn: 4R
Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 134lbs
Bust: 34A
Comfortable and perfect fit
I ordered an XS thinking I'd need to size down as I was afraid the top would be too baggy as a 34A, but I wore the Small because the zipper closed more comfortably. The adjustable straps allowed me to feel adequately covered up, and the drape of the fabric made it so comfortable to be braless. Very fun to dance in and lots of compliments! I wore a low heel (probably 2/2.5 inches) and felt the skirt was plenty long enough without dragging on the ground.

Tight but baggy. Pretty regardless!
I wore this dress with 3" heels, and it was perfect for my 5'6" height. As a woman with a small chest, the key hole was a little revealing, so I was a little uncomfortable in that regard and felt like my bra was always showing. The bust fit very loosely, so there was extra fabric under my arms, but it wasn't noticeable. The band that separates the top of the dress from the skirt was SUPER TIGHT and left an indent around my ribs. Overall, it was pretty, but not my favorite.

Luxurious color! Perfect fit!
I wore this to a corporate event, and I felt both elegant and sexy. It fit perfectly: length just above my knee, sleeves hit where they should, and was comfortable the entire night. The color of this dress is beautiful...a deep, royal purple (if there is such a thing) and I hate purple, so it was a stunner. Loved it and want to buy it!

Comfortable, easy, and fun!
This dress, with its high/low hem, showed off my legs without being too risqué for a wedding. The t-shirt style top is easy to accessorize, and I love the bright pink color. It photographs beautifully.

Beautiful dress, loved it, but had to pull it down all night
I got an XS and S, but ended up wearing the XS since it was a bit more flattering than the S. I wish I had known I would be pulling the skirt down all night though, the only "con" of the dress as a whole. I wore a nude strapless bra, and it was perfect. (The S was a touch longer, wasn't quite as fitted, and the arms were baggy.)

This dress was the perfect color and material. Made me feel amazing all night long.
I wore this to my company's holiday party and it was really beautiful. The material is so soft and it is very well constructed. The top of the dress was very roomy, but the skirt portion hugged my hips in an unflattering way. I was determined to wear it, though, so I added a skinny belt and it made all the difference. If I had sized up (which wasn't even available), it probably would have been way too large. All in all, I loved it.

Tight, sexy, comfortable. A trifecta of awesome.
The only downside to this dress is that I had to pull it down from time to time. I ordered a small and medium, and ended up wearing the medium because it was tight but not constricting. The small would have worked, but hey, breathing is important. The graphic print and thick material hides everything. I loved this dress in all of its stretchy goodness.

I wore this to a Kentucky Derby party and it was a hit!
The color of this dress is much more vibrant in person, and the fabric has a texture to it that is amazing. The beading around the neckline really added a dressed up feel to it that was better than any necklace. On to fit--I have a tiny chest and this dress was snug on my bust and made me feel like I had cleavage. However, I could tell that other women who had rented this dress previously must have felt that they were busting out of it because the "V" of the neckline was starting to pull and the seams were fraying. It was super short, but that was perfectly fine with me. The tummy area was a bit big/stretched out and made me look a little round at certain angles, but nothing horrible. All in all, I loved the dress!

When I first received this dress in the mail, I was expecting it to by more grey than purple, but it ended up fitting perfectly and looking beautiful despite the color confusion. I wore silver and pearl necklaces from Stella and Dot which complemented the entire outfit. It was a bit short, but paired with black stockings (like in the picture), it wasn't inappropriate for the wedding I attended.
