Sex Appeal, Class, & Eye Catching Color!
Let's be real, I had some help from my good friend, Spanx, but this dress is a bombshell! It's tight as tight can be, but the fabric quality is great & you don't feel like you can see every lump, bump, & line. It shows off your figure, but the high neckline and just above-the-knee length makes it appropriate for a family affair! I used to be worried that the cut near the armpits would highlight those lovely fat pockets, or "my pudgies," as my mom refers to hers, but somehow it doesn't. Or, at least I didn't think it did. I would highly recommend!

Pretty & Feminine
I ended up not wearing this dress. I think it's very pretty &, on the right person, it could be gorgeous. I felt like it fit a little strange in the ribs area. It was a little bunchy. Other than that, it was beautiful & really nice quality!

Very sexy
This dress was another winner. The neckline was potentially questionable for a wedding, but I feel like it's a classy enough piece & it's all in the presentation. The dress holds you in & is extremely flattering. The lace was damaged in some spots, but not enough to be noticed by anyone other than the person wearing it. And if they do, they're looking to closely ;)

This was a WOW.
In retrospect, I may not have opted for a push-up bra with this dress, as it was definitely not necessary, haha. The girls were out to play! However, I got tons of compliments. Thank God for spanx! This dress was snug for sure, but a real show stopper!

Fun, Flirty, & Great Fit!!
I wore this dress the night before a wedding in Las Vegas. The tags were actually still on it when I received it, so I think I may have been the very first renter! I absolutely LOVED this dress. I wanted to keep it. The fabric is pretty thick, which made it a little warm in the desert heat, but the quality was exceptional! I'd definitely rent again!

The perfect dress for a summer wedding!
I absolutely love this dress. It looks more neon in photos than it did in person, but it's definitely bright! I had been looking at this dress, along with other Elizabeth James dresses with the same neckline on RTR for a while, but was concerned that the neckline would highlight those lovely underarm "pudge pockets," as I like to refer to them. For that reason I opted for not wearing a bra, as to not push all that extra stuff up & into clear view. The darts hit slightly high, which made me think that maybe I should have worn the larger size (size 6) that I rented, but it fit nicely everywhere else so I decided to live with it. I would definitely recommend this dress!

Loved this bright, flattering dress!
I usually wear a size 6, but based on other reviews, I ordered this dress in a 2 & a 4. I got lots of compliments on the color & I feel like the dress really flattered my figure. Nice tight waistline, a deep-V neckline, & a modest length! It was perfect for a rehearsal dinner!

Needed a bigger size!
I LOVE this dress & I actually plan on renting it again. However, when I do, it will be in a size 4. Based on the reviews, I went with a size 2 & it was just a little too tight in the wait & bust area. It does run big, as I usually wear a 6, but not as big as some of the reviews made it seem.

Loved this dress! I wore it to a wedding rehearsal & rehearsal dinner & got lots of compliments!
As other renters have said, this dress runs a bit small. I usually wear a 4 or 6, but there was no zipping the size 4 over my bust. I'd like to point out that the dress that I received (size 6) is damaged. The boning in the bodice on one side clearly started to come out & has since been repaired, but not very well. The boning was sewn back in too low which caused the top to fold over on one side & the bottom of the boning pokes into your abdomen. It was definitely not the most comfortable thing I've ever worn, but it looked great in person & in pictures (if I dare say so myself)! Lastly, I recommend wearing a deep plunging strapless bra with this dress, if that makes sense. The dip in the front center allowed most of my regular strapless bra to show pretty clearly & I spent a lot of time fidgeting, trying to scoot my bra down so that it wouldn't show.

I did not end up wearing this dress.
As other reviewers have said, this dress runs large. It's a very thick material, as well, which doesn't do your figure any favors. If you are a tiny girl, like the model, first of all I'm jealous, haha, but it will probably look great on you. For those of you with boobs & a booty like Mua, not the best option.

I didn't end up wearing this dress
This dress did not fit me well, at all. I ordered a 4 & had wanted a backup size 2, but it was not available. The 4 was definitely too big in the waist, as you can see in the pictures I could hold a whole fist full of dress. However it was bursting at my bust. I could barely breathe. All in all, it just wasn't right for my body type.
