I wore this sweet little dress to a friend's semi-formal fall wedding. It was perfect for my purposes: comfortable, elegant, and understated - yet just whimsical enough to be fun! The full skirt and cap sleeves elevate the style of the dress without being over-the-top. I wore the Size 10 because the Size 8 was very tight in the bust. If you are at all busty, do size up for your backup dress as there is no give in the chest. The waist is true to size and the hips are free. The fabric is very heavy, making it perfect for cooler weather events - and for skimming one's curves! I would recommend this dress for any semi-formal holiday party.

I rented these earrings to be the perfect compliment to my pearl beaded wedding gown and I was not disappointed!

I wore this dress as my wedding reception dress and it was so perfectly suited to the occasion - and to my figure - that I very much wished that I could keep it! After wearing my beautiful, floor-length gown most of the evening, it was such a delight to slip into this beautifully constructed sheath with its full skirt that was perfect for dancing. Though simple in shape, this dress still hugged my curves and showed my shape. You can wear a standard bra with this dress. I recommend it very highly!

I rented this - and one other- dress to wear at my wedding reception this past weekend. Although I ultimately ended up wearing the other dress, this one was also very lovely. I loved the flowing pleats, sheer skirt, sheer (yet tasteful) lace back, and the unusual wrapped bodice. It was so much fun to try on and dance in! If I am going to a black tie-optional party in the future, I will happily rent this dress again. You will want a stick-on-style bra; the dress has little support and will not accommodate a bra band. The waist has little stretch; you may wish to size up for a backup. Ladies over 5'8" will prefer the long length.

I rented this dress as an alternate reception dress to wear after my wedding. The color was intended to match my sapphire ring and accessories and I love the lace detailing. When it arrived, however, I was a little bit disappointed to see that the lace was quite a bit worn through in places and pilling all over. I deemed it unsuitable for the occasion. Happily, though, when I called Customer Service, they were able to overnight me a different dress at no additional charge, which arrived in time for the wedding and it ended up being perfect!

I rented this darling dress for my rehearsal dinner this past weekend and I was so pleased with the dress - and its appropriateness to the occasion. The shape and construction of the dress are impeccable, making it so very flattering on my figure. The color and pattern are delicate and feminine without being fussy. I am curvy and a typical size 8 in street clothes and the size 8 fit me perfectly. I hated to send it back!

Pros: Slim, flattering fit. Gorgeous color. Comfortable. Things to consider: I am 5'10" and ordered a, 8L and 10L. Both fit, but were much too long. I had to hold the skirt up all night! I ended up wearing the 10L for the sake of having extra wiggle room. Even with the extra room, I still opted to go bra-less and panty-less to avoid very noticeable panty lines.
