Lots of compliments, can size down
Normally wear a 6-8, upon reading reviews ordered 4/6. 6 fit but the 4 fit a little bit better so I went with that, but could’ve done the 6. Really cute, not itchy, I needed help clasping the neck since some of the hooks were wonky. Definitely hugs the belly though so if you’re worried about that area, I would suggest a different dress.

Fun and lots of compliments
Fit well, true to size. The slit is very high but I loved that about it, felt very sexy and fun. Wore to a prom themed charity event and I fit right in.

Did not wear but would rent again!
I got this as my secondary dress in case my primary did not fit. It was so beautiful and comfortable, I am 5'6" and the length would've been perfect with heels. Some reviews mention it being "prom-like" but I disagree, I think it's a beautiful classy dress that would look great at a formal wedding. The slit is the perfect length and position and everything about it was just great.

Nonstop compliments
I am 5'6" 145#, I carry my weight mainly in my midsection and face. I wanted a 6 and 8, but the 8 was out so I got the 10. Luckily for me because the 8 never would've fit. It's a little tight around the top and I was doing a little tugging but honestly the amount of compliments I got literally from ceremony to reception to photos posted on Facebook outweighed any con I may have about this dress. This is for sure a stunner.

Tons of compliments, but a saggy top
I got a TON of compliments on this dress, the photographer came up to me twice to tell me I was the best dressed guest which made me feel great. However, like most other reviews state, the top kept folding over exposing the sticky lining, and it was kind of stretched out up top (likely from people constantly having to pull the dress up). I wish I had gotten fashion tape to prevent that from happening. I am also a 4 month post-partum nursing mother, so the chest started to kind of overlap as the night went on. I am 140#, 5'6", 36D, I wore the 6r. With my 3" heels the length was perfect.

Unbelievable dress
I absolutely LOVED wearing this dress. It is a wonderful thick material but not lined, so I needed spanx to smooth some things over but I felt so good in this all night. Will definitely be renting this one again! Shorter than on the model which was great. Super sexy and chic!

Great NYE dress!
I opted for this while 6.5 months pregnant. It has great stretch to it. I am 5'6", my normal size is a 4/Medium but being pregnant I'm a 6/8/L in certain things (currently 157lbs, 38 DD). I got compliments all night, especially on how sexy the sleeves were. My only complaint is that the lining ride up a bit. I would love to wear this again (after baby!) A strapless bra is best for this.

So fun, sexy, and sassy for a Vegas bachelorette party!
Runs large. I am 5'6", 135lbs, 34 D and the 2 fit great, if not just a tad short in the crotch. The only thing I didn't like and the reason I didn't give 5 stars was the fact that there is no zipper and I had to shimmy in and out of the neck hole, which was a pain in a Vegas nightclub bathroom! Will DEFINITELY rent again, it is too cute not to!

Cute dress, terrible zipper!
I rented this dress for an October wedding. I read the reviews, and got a "helper" for the zipper, but three of us could not zip it up so I had to wear a different dress to the ceremony. I brought the dress to try again for the reception, and FINALLY someone got it up, but not without a LOT of hassle, and almost feeling like we were breaking the zipper. I usually order a 4 or 6 in most dresses, but upon reading the reviews settled on a 6 and 8. The 6 would've fit perfect if it weren't for my 36 D chest. I had to wear a strapless bra which wasn't a problem, but the top of the dress doesn't seem to be made for bustier women; it almost seemed like it was flattening me down instead of accentuating the shape. The material was absolutely beautiful and I loved how it flowed around me, but due to the impossible zipper and the boob-flattening, I will not be renting this again.

Stunning dress, felt amazing all night
I rented this for a late November wedding. Upon reading the "runs large" reviews, I ordered the 2 and 4 (I normally wear 4-6). I ended up wearing the 4 and it fit great. Like other reviewers stated, it is a bit longer than you would think, but it was perfect I think. I got a ton of compliments all night, and, like all the other dresses I rent, I wish I could keep this one! After we left the wedding, I wanted to go out to keep showing off this amazing dress. I felt so great in it. Definitely a showstopper.

Beautiful!
These came as my "Stylist Surprise" with a Lilly Pultizer May Flowers dress. They were very beautiful and so elegant; not as heavy as I would've thought. Got many compliments on them!

Amazing!
I rented this for my nephew's baptism. It was amazing. So pretty, and I felt really elegant in it. I received a ton of compliments, and my fiance said he loved it, so I knew it was a great dress! I was a bit worried that with my larger chest I would look a little top heavy, but it actually balanced me out quite nicely. It was a bit short, but not inappropriate for a Catholic baptism... I did add a white cardigan for church though. I will definitely be renting this again. I usually order 4s and 6s, but upon reading the reviews, I opted to rent a 6 and 8... The 8 fit PERFECTLY.

I opted for the Stylist Surprise when renting the Lilly Pulitzer May Flowers dress for my nephew's baptism. Was extremely happy to receive a pair of Kate Spade earrings that matched beautifully with the dress... I also saved $5! Very happy, and will definitely use this option next time I rent!

Cute but way too small up top
SUCH a cute dress, but was just too small around my chest. When I rent, I usually order 4-6 depending on designer, but upon reading reviews went with a 6 and an 8... wish I would've went 8 and a 10, a 10 would have fit perfectly. I would give this 5 stars if it fit! I can get zipper up but it digs into under-arms and doesn't look very flattering.

I rented two dresses for a summer wedding... this and the Tracy Reese Love Story dress. I rented an 8 in that and it fit perfectly, however upon reading reviews I rented a 4 and 6 in this Nanette Lepore. I have a large bust (36 D) and the 6 had a lot of room in the chest, so the 4 ended up fitting perfectly! BEAUTIFUL dress, got tons of compliments! I love it!

This dress is unvelievable. I got it for my Vegas trip... I am 5'6" 145lbs, 36 D, ordered a M which looks stunning but a bit on the short side, and got a L to go with it... L fits pretty much the same in the bust and waist but is a few inches longer. I love the shortness but I pretty much can't bend over, sit down, or raise my arms :) Anyways, it is so much fun, a little darker than in the photo. ULTRA comfortable! 5 star recommendation for sure.

Such a pretty dress... only complaint was that the zipper was extremely hard to close (as the lace kept getting in the way). However, I LOVED twirling in it, and got so many compliments on the dress, it really is beautiful! The 8 fit perfectly in this, while a 4 in a Nanette Lepore dress (go getter) fit amazing, so do your research on sizing!
