Tight through the hips or big in the bust?
I rented this dress for a baptism. It is absolutely beautiful. The subtle pattern and the color are wonderful together. If you have curvy hips, however, this may not be the dress for you. The size 6 was way too tight in the hips, but fit nicely in the bust. The size 8 fit nicely in the hips, but was big everywhere else.

Perfect wedding accents!
The earrings (were not heavy at all) and necklace gave just enough "wow" to my understated dress. I couldn't be happier with how the look turned out.

Wedding perfect!
This comb is very well made and can be adjusted to appear bigger or smaller depending on how you wear your hair. It was the perfect accent for my understated gown.

Like wearing pj's!
This dress is so beautifully simple. I wore it to a work cocktail party. It was sexy and conservative at the same time. I'm 5'4" and the dress hit me mid-thigh. It definitely runs large. I'm usually a S, 4, or 6.

Super fun to bling up a simple dress!
These earrings were perfect to wear with a simple cocktail dress and hair pulled back. They are clip on, but were actually quite comfortable because they were fairly light weight. They were definitely bigger than I expected, but because I wasn't really wearing any other jewelry they worked beautifully.

Perfect for work dinner!
This dress is very flattering on. The size two was just a bit too tight in the hips for me. I'm 5'4" and the dress hits me right above the knee. It's easy to put on and zip up by yourself.

Perfect for Homecoming!
My daughter wore this dress to Homecoming. She's 5'1" - 115lbs - D+ cup. This dress is so beautiful and was comfortable enough that she easily wore it all night without any issues. The straps were too long, but that was a quick fix by simple folding them in at the back and tacking them to the dress.

Perfect Compliment for Cocktail Party Dress
The earrings were a great length with just enough "bedazzle" that you could still notice them even with my hair down.

Super Hot Yet Work Event Appropriate
I wore this dress to a work cocktail party. The 40 was a little tight around the booty and the 42 was a little big in the bust. I decided to go with the 40 because it was stretchy enough that it was still comfortable. The length and lack of cleavage make this a great evening work event outfit.

Too small to wear!
I ordered this dress for a Dress Whites Croquet Party. The dress was so short and so tight I could wear it. Had I tried bending over to hit a ball in this thing all of my bits and parts would have been showing!!!

Super cute and sparkly!
Full disclosure - This is my daughter and this is the backup dress she ordered for Homecoming. She is 5'1", 115 lbs, and wears a D cup. This dress was so flattering on her. Given her height it was a little longer than she would have liked. Personally, I liked this dress better than the one she wore, but the dress was very sparkly and made her stand out a bit more than she wanted.

It's a Stand Out!
I generally wear a size two or four and used a standard conversion chart when ordering this dress. I fit into the 38 but felt like a sausage! Regardless of size, this dress is meant to cling to you so if you have body issues I would recommend selecting a different dress. I received a lot of compliments on how simple yet different my dress was from the traditional cocktail party dress.

Beautiful for beach or black tie!
This was a replacement dress, because my original selection wasn't returned on time. I was really concerned about the length because I'm only 5'4", but Talia convinced me that I would be fine with my almost 3" wedges. She was absolutely right! This dress was so fun to wear and fit in perfectly at the beach wedding I attended. I had some trouble getting it zipped as it was a little more than snug around the chest. I think I could have sized up to a medium although once I got the small on it was perfect. No bra required. FYI - the other red dress two people to the left is also a Rent the Runway knockout!

Tiny bottom, big top!
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to wear this beautiful dress size 2 dress. I'm not super curvy, but the area around the hips was too tight. The top fit (showed a lot of cleavage), but if I had sized up it would have been way too big.

Fabulous and comfortable!
I wore this dress to an evening work party. It's conservative and sexy at the same time. It definitely fits more like a shift dress, but is still very flattering. It was easy to put on without help from others, which is important when you're alone in a hotel room! I also wore the Gerard Yosca Vintage Jade Crystal Studs. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a good picture of the dress so you can't see the earrings, but they gave the outfit a beautiful punch of color and were surprisingly comfortable for clip ons.

A total stand out!
This dress is absolutely gorgeous on and a ton of fun. I wore it to a fundraising event and it looked absolutely stunning when dancing. I had to size up and it was still a little tight around the rib cage. Other than that, the dress is super comfortable. I paired it with the Alexis Bittar Snake Charmer earrings. Because I wore my hair down, the green in the earrings appeared almost black. This dress is perfect for parties and weddings.

This dress was so much fun! I had the size 2 & 4 and really couldn't tell much difference between the two. The dress is gorgeous and relatively comfortable. I received a lot of compliments.

This dress was gorgeous! The arms were a little tight and it required a "dressing buddy" in order to get it zipped. Because I was at a hotel by myself, I wasn't able to wear this dress.
