Lightweight and stunning
These were exactly what I wanted - elegant, enough sparkle for an updo, and light enough that your ears weren't killing you by the end of the night. LOVED. would rent again.

Lining bizarrely small even for a drape-y dress
I really wanted to love this dress. The color is gorgeous, if flows beautifully when on. However, the lining as compared to the rest of the dress makes NO sense. Although the top fit perfectly, and the outer fabric also fit, the lining of the Small barely fit over my hips, and rode up throughout the night. Because the lining was attached to the waist of the dress, tugging down the bottom of the lining would pull the dress and create weird lines over my hips. Very disappointing. The lining on the medium fit well over my hips, but then the top was HUGE. No amount of pinning and taping was going to fix the fact that i was swimming in the top. If you have tiny hips and a big bust, this is the dress for you. If you have big hips, don't rent this dress.

Elegant perfection
Love, love, love this dress. It is classy and elegant, and the back adds just the right amount of sexy. The long is actually long, which is a boon to the tall ladies. At 5'10 and with heels, this brushed the floor. It flows so elegantly - you'll love swishing the skirt and dancing in it. Only one tiny issue - I didn't wear a bra with this dress, and the seams run directly over the nipples, which from a side angle made it look like they were erect. I have a small bust, so a larger bust probably wouldn't have this issue, as I did not fill the dress out completely. This was a last minute exchange for a bridesmaid dress, and I couldn't be happier about it. Completely blew my previous rental out of the water. Would buy it to have on hand for black tie affairs.

Slimming and elegant
After my original rental didn't fit, I picked this up at the Georgetown store. It didn't have the shawl that is shown in pictures (and I had no idea until I went to submit this that it was supposed to) but I actually think that worked to my benefit. This dress is an almost - mermaid style that beautifully accents your waist. It does run a bit big - this is a size down from my normal size and it still fit, albeit a 4 definitely would have fit better. It is LONG. In 4 inch heels and at 5'10 the long still touched the ground in the front. It also has a slight train, so if you're going to a crowded event, prepare yourself for people to step on the back of your dress. All together, this dress is an absolute stunner. 10/10 would rent again.

Runs small!
This dress is really beautiful. The fabric acts as spanx and really sucks you in. However, the dress runs at least one dress size small. I'm usually a 4, sometimes a 6 depending on how tight it is through the hips/thighs. Although the six fit up top, it was SO tight through the hips that the fabric was pulling. Would rent again for another black tie wedding, but in an 8.

Weird looking on
I liked the colors of the dress, but just felt this dress wasn't very flattering on. The straps felt very weird with the straight neckline. Just not a fan. Wore my backup dress. The dress runs true to size.

Gorgeous LBD
Loved this! Very slimming and flattering. Love the neckline - definitely need a strapless bra, but very unique. The dress is a bit tight (bodycon), so i went up to a 6 rather than wearing the 4 since it was a formal occasion. It did ride up a tiny bit, but was very comfortable throughout the night for dancing. Great dress!

Not my favorite
Not a huge fan of This piece. It would be cute for brunch/less formal affair, but it felt a little cheap for a wedding.

Small arm holes
For the most part , I liked this dress. The lines were very nice, and the fabric was beautiful. A good choice for a professional event. That being said, the arm holes seemed very small to me and cut into my shoulders every time I moved my arms. I did have a small problem with the skirt riding up a touch - but I'm not sure if that's partially because of the length, which for me was mid - knee (and I'm 5'10). Dress worked ok, but I would not rent again.

Way too short!
Rented this for a rehearsal dinner. Way, way, way too short for a tall girl. Didn't wear.

Feels expensive.
Nice, sturdy necklace. Doesn't feel flimsy or cheap. Loved that it was a shorter length which worked perfectly with a higher neckline.

Cutouts add perfect amount of sexy to a sweet, fun dress
Loved this dress! As a tall girl, one of my biggest worries is whether the dress will be long enough. This was perfect! Short enough to be fun and sexy but long enough that I wasn't worried about bending over. The cutouts were so cute, and fit right over a regular bra. I forgot a strapless so ended up using double sided tape to make sure the straps didn't peep out. Didn't want to return this one!
