GREAT color, great dress
Fit PERFECT. I wore a strapless bra and a sticky thong (google it) to avoid panty lines. It fit great, looked great and I received a TON of compliments. The color is bright and was perfect for a summer wedding. I chose nude heels to add the illusion of longer legs since the dress didn't come in Petite. I would HIGHLY recommend. Added bonus: I was able to dance the night away, the dress didn't ride up and the slit was perfectly placed for movement.

Turquoise Helena Dress
LIKELY
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 1"
Bust: 34B
Perfect for cooler weather event
I ordered the 6P (4P was my backup size). I ended up wearing the 4P. Both were comfortable, but the 6P was a little stretched out up top (I'm a 34B, borderline A, so this is understandable). I wore 3 inch heels and the length was perfect. The material is thick, so it was great for an outdoor fall wedding in Vermont. No special undies needed. The gathering/draping is very flattering (my pic doesn't do it justice). I'd definitely recommend.

Forbidden Territory Gown
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 4P

Classy dress
The small fit great, so I didn't even bother trying on the medium. I was worried about the length since I'm pretty short (5'1") but I feel like it looked really good. I chose a nude heel in order to avoid cutting myself up and accentuating my height. The ruffles were a fun touch. The material is thick, but not constricting thick, and depending on what undies you wear, you'll be able to see them. I wore pasties and a no-show thong and was okay. I'd definitely recommend this dress, but do think the length would be better on someone a few inches taller.

Black Ruffle Hem Dress
twenty
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 6

Sassy dress for a classy event
True to size, in my opinion. The color is a deeper red, not maroon, but not bright red. Perfect for a fall wedding in Central Texas. The 6 and 8 were comparable in fit, so I went with the 8 to make myself think I had more room. It was easy to dance/move in, and the racer back and slit were the perfect amount of sass for the evening without being over the top. I wore no show undies and pasties and didn't have any problems. The only con was a deodorant stain on the armpit (that I didn't notice until we were on our way). I was able to clean it up well enough. Great rental.

Crimson Bardot Dress

PERFECT
I rented two dresses for a wedding weekend and chose this one for rehearsal dinner. I typically wear a 6 and my backup size was an 8 because other review said the waist band didn't have any give. This is true, the waist band DID NOT have any give, but the 8 was too loose up top. So I opted for the 6. The skirt color was the perfect amount of bold, in an understated (not flashy) way. The sleeves can be pulled up if you need more arm movement, but I really liked the look of the full off-the-shoulder sleeve. Also, POCKETS!
