Very comfortable dress for a "garden party" wedding.
I wore this for an outdoor wedding with a black pashmina (it was cold outside). Overall a very comfortable dress, loose fitting and flattering. Use some fashion tape to keep the chest from slipping down, and you'll be fine. I would rent it again for the right occasion. The material is very light and thin, so it would be perfect for a hot day.

Flattering dress for postpartum
This dress is more flattering than it appears on the model and is great for hiding a postpartum belly. The neckline can be adjusted up and down, and the fabric fanned in or out in back and front to find the most flattering silhouette for your torso and bust. The extra fabric in the bottom panel creates a lot of movement.

Glamorous but comfortable dress for pregnant and curvy women!
Great for curvy girls and (1st or 2nd trimester) maternity. I have worn the black version of this dress many times as a not-pregnant woman and the red version in the middle of my 2nd trimester. Each time I have worn this dress, I felt like the most gorgeous woman in the room. I have curves and it shows them off in the most flattering way possible. The fabric is very substantial and very stretchy, so it hides unsightly lumps and creates a fitted but smooth silhouette. Cleavage will be on display, but if you use fashion tape you'll be good to go. The red is a beautiful rich color, not tacky-bright, but not dark and dreary. I'm 5'5" and it required mid-height heels.

Va-va-voom fit for a curvy girl. Rented it twice.
An amazing gown for hourglass figures, if you're comfortable with a little cleavage. It is body hugging in the most flattering way possible, with stretchy fabric to accommodate and show off a naturally curvy silhouette. The high-quality fabric and lace flatten out and obscure any unevenness through the waist and hips and provide necessary texture so that the fit is not TOO revealing. The cap sleeves minimize my "soft" arms. I wore it with spanx and a nubra (sticky bra). Add some red lipstick and I felt like the most beautiful girl in the room. There was a thin woman wearing the same dress at the same event, and on her it just looked flat/straight. I loved it so much I rented it twice.

A great fun dress with a great color
The dress was shorter than I am accustomed to, but definitely not TOO short. The color was great and the lace allows you to dress it up or dress it down. I wore it to a wedding that ended up being very formal even though there was no stated dress code; other women were in full-length dresses but I did not feel out of place.

Too much sequin/too loud
I chose my backup dress because honestly this dress was too pink with too much sequins. It was way too close to a high school show choir dress, even though it looked pretty good in other people's photos.
