Perfect for 2nd Trimester Black Tie Wedding
I rented this for a wedding based off the reviews that it was bump friendly and stretchy. I am 22 weeks and did not have to size up because the dress had lot of stretch in it. I also loved that it hugged my bump and make me look definitively pregnant and not like I just gained weight. Like other reviews said, dress is a bit short. Im 5'7" and it hit me just at ankle. Dress doesn't have a zipper but you can step into it so no issues with pulling it over head after doing my hair and makeup.

Easy to dress up or down
Great great for work! I dressed it down with a jean jacket but could easily make nicer with a blazer or sweater. Roomy and love the pockets!

Great for a summer wedding
I rented this dress for a beach wedding and it was perfect. Really loved the fit but wish I would have sizes down. The top is oddly large- making it prone to shifting and showing my bra. Took off 1 star because I had to spend a lot of the night adjusting the top of the dress so it didn't fall down or shift off my shoulders

Way too short for work
I rented this dress for work. While fit fine everywhere else- was way too short to wear to the office- even with tights.

Perfect Dress
I am in love with this dress. I rented it for a black tie event and it was the hit of the night. The shape of the dress is incredibly slimming and the high low and spider effect make it stand out from the sea of other black dresses in the room. I wish I could afford to keep this dress- I felt gorgeous all night!

Cute but Not Perfect
I rented this dress for a summer wedding. It was a nice length and I really liked the pockets. The belt on the dress and the diamond shape is also pretty flattering and sliming. The only thing I didn't love about the dress is how low cut it is. I was not expecting the V to be so deep so for large chested girls this may be an issue. This dress is cute but definitely didn't make me feel super special for the event. I don't think I would rent it again.

Conservative, Classy and Fun!
I rented this dress for a family wedding where I wanted to make sure I wasn't showing too much skin but would still look fun! I love that I could still wear a bra with the dress (low back strapless bra was great) but got the low back effect. The skirt is fuller than I expected from the photos but that wasn't an issue. I would definitely recommend this for a formal affair for anyone who wants to turn heads while still looking classy!

Very elegant but too low cut.
I rented this dress as it was listed as being good for those with a full bust. I definitely don't think this is true. I am a 36F and the dress was WAY too low cut to wear comfortably. Besides that, the dress fit well and hugged my curves without being too tight. I also am 5'7" and probably would have been better off renting the R instead of the L size. Overall, if you are a C cup or less- this dress is great but don't count on it for a fuller bust.
