Fit great & fairly comfortable
The 8 was a tad big in the chest, but the zipper on the 6 got caught easily and I was worried we wouldn’t be able to get it unzipped. The sleeves are slightly constricting but not horrible. The dress itself got so many compliments and I found it to be really easy to wear.

A super easy showstopper
I didn't bother trying on the 8 (my usual size) because the 6 fit so well. It was honestly a little loose in the bust, but not bad. Definitely size down for your back up! The dress itself had great shape and emphasized my waist which I loved. It was slightly low cut, but not inappropriately so. You can wear a regular bra with it which is always a plus. All and all, this was an easy and comfortable dress to wear. I did not have a problem with the sequins scratching my arms at all.

Totally worth it for the price
I was a little bummed to see the "sparkly" bangles scattered throughout the set actually just had ribbon(?) glued to them. Not to mention I couldn't wear one of them because the ribbon had come unglued at the ends and was hanging off the bracelet. All that said, these were totally worth it for the price. An arm full of bracelets for less than you'd pay for lunch is never a bad thing.

Comfortable, easy to wear, and gorgeous
I wore this to a Mardi Gras themed party and it was a total hit. The lace sleeves are the most forgiving I've ever worn without being baggy. I'm tall so I'm glad I ordered a size up from what I normally wear because the shorts were definitely short. This was my first ever romper and I have no regrets.

Absolutely gorgeous.
I rented this for a wedding, but, unfortunately, wasn't able to attend because my daughter got sick. I did try it on, however, and found most critiques about this dress to be true. The green is a more emerald bordering on dark teal, but it is absolutely gorgeous. It's just thick enough and hid just the right things (no need for Spanx!) The arms are definitely tight (and a lot thicker fabric than I envisioned), but I imagine I would have gotten used to them as the night went on. The 8 felt a little large elsewhere, but didn't look like it swallowed me whole. Definitely size up if you're worried about the arms! I rented the Kendra Scott gold Jill necklace to go with this dress and it looked great with it.

Yet another fabulous Trina Turk dress
Purple is not a color I gravitate towards, but I set out to rent another Trina Turk dress for this event because I've loved every one I've rented of this designer. The only issues I had with this dress were of my own doing. I was about 9 weeks pregnant when I wore it and kicked myself for not getting an 8 instead of a 4 for my second size. The 6 fit great other than it was tight around my ribs thanks to the pregnancy. I still got TONS of compliments on it though, so I'm glad my discomfort wasn't apparent to everyone else. Overall, I think I would have loved this if I'd been my usual size. I'm a little sad to hang up the fit and flare dresses for the next 6 months or so, but all the more reason to branch out to other styles.

A great statement necklace!
I wore this with the Halston Heritage Rocket in the Sky dress and it couldn't have been more perfect. I received as many compliments on the necklace as I did the dress. It's a chunky statement necklace without being too heavy.

The prefect, easy to wear dress!
I wore this to an outdoor wedding and received so many compliments on it. The lace details really make the dress, and the quality of it make it so easy to wear. I wore it with natural wedges, but it could easily be dressed up with black heels and tights. The size 2 fit me better in the bust, but I went with the 4 due to its fit in the hips. By far my favorite dress I've rented here so far.

Classy, comfortable and high quality dress
This was an easy to wear, classy dress. I got tons of compliments on it as well. I'm 5'10" and this dress hit me just below the knees. The top is a little awkwardly blousy, but I found that if I pulled the waist band down a little it disappeared. This dress would probably be perfect for someone with a bust. Top wise I could have done an XS, but my hips fit perfectly in the S.

Comfortable, structured, contemporary dress!
My husband received an award at an architecture convention, so I wanted something a little funky and unique for the banquet. This dress definitely fit the bill. I ordered the 2 and 4 and, while both fit well, I opted for the 2 due to fit in the bust. The skirt bells out, but isn't over the top. That along with the sleeves made it have a bit of a Judy Jetson/futuristic feel which my husband thought was great. I got tons of compliments on both the dress and necklace (Badgley Mischka) all night. To top it off, it was an extremely comfortable outfit, especially since you can wear a regular bra with it. My only complaint is that the pockets in the front poked out a bit when I sat down and looked a little strange, but it wasn't anything too distracting.

Perfect combination of class and comfort.
I wore this to a wedding rehearsal and dinner. The fit of this dress was perfect for my body type. The only reason I didn't rate it with 5 stars was because the skirt lacked a lining, so it felt a bit strange. I also didn't like how the skirt wrinkled easily. Definitely be prepared to iron this one! Also, because it looked more of an off-white online, be aware that the stripes are more of a dark cream/light tan color.

Perfect color, fit and style!
Not a single complaint about this dress! I wore it to a bridesmaids' luncheon and it was perfect for the occasion. I had to travel about an hour for the luncheon and when I got there the dress was in great shape (no wrinkles and the pleats were perfect). It was so comfortable that I actually wore it the rest of the afternoon during a shopping trip. The color appeared much brighter to me on the website, but I was pleasantly surprised by the actual kelly green shade of the dress. I rented a 2 and a 4 and ended up with the smaller size due to the 4 being a bit large on top.
