Thanksgiving outfit
I rented this for Thanksgiving weekend. I styled it with oxblood corduroys for dinner with the family. It also looked great with a black t-shirt and jeans for shopping. It's a nice weight and not at all itchy. I wish I owned this sweater.

Very fun outfit - kept me cool through an outside graduation ceremony.
This romper is awesome. You can definitely dress it up or down. I wore it out to a club with heels and sparkly earrings and it looked more like a dress than a romper. Then I wore it to a high school graduation in a football stadium in mid-June, so I kept it dressed down a little with cute flat sandals and simple jewelry. It looked great both ways. The only challenge is going to the bathroom - you have to take the romper off the top half of your body and then pull it down - awkward!

Looks even better in person!
I love the look of this dress - it covers up enough on top so I felt pretty and confident but not like I was showing too much skin. The color is a lovely navy blue. My only complaint about this dress was that the size 10 fit me better but the lining hung out past the hem of the dress a bit, not a huge deal but I thought that looked a little sloppy so I ended up wearing the 12, which was a bit big on me. Everything else about the dress was great though.

Gorgeous color, fit, and style!
I love this dress! It looks great on curves - classy but also sexy. I got a lot of compliments. I wish I could buy this dress!

A little too sexy
This dress looked great on the hanger but it made me look a little too curvy. The main problem was that the nude liner was just too tight for me. I felt like I was wearing a sausage casing. I should've checked with the stylists on the fit of this dress.

Awesome fit! Perfect for a not too dressy NYE party
I rented this dress for New Years Eve and wore it to a kinda casual party at a club. It fit great and was a kind of edgy version of an LBD. The fabric has some stretch to it but it is still substantial enough that I didn't need to wear Spanx with it.

Pretty dress, just didn't fit me like I wanted it to
As some other reviewers have mentioned, the color of this dress is a bit more of a mustard yellow with an interesting texture, but still very pretty. I have a large bust (34DD) and a smaller waist and this dress just didn't lay right on my body. I wish it would have because I really liked the dress.

Great deal on a great pair of earrings!
The stylists did an excellent job of selecting a beautiful accessory (pair of earrings in this case) that suited the dress perfectly.

Perfect dress for a co-worker's wedding
This dress fit very comfortably and looked casually elegant. I wanted to look a little conservative since I would be with my co-workers and boss, but I still wanted a fun, pretty look. This dress was a perfect match!

Beautiful Mystery Bling!
These earrings suited the dress I had rented (Tibi Hamptons) perfectly! I would definitely choose the Mystery Bling option again if offered!

Stood out in a roomful of LBDs
I wore this dress to a reunion and it was perfect. The color is an orangey coral with dark bronze trim. The attached cami was the same dark bronze checked design. The cami straps are adjustable which provided great coverage for the slightly conservative event. This is a great dress for ladies with a large bust. I am 34dd, 30 in waist, 40 in hips and the size 10 fit beautifully and comfortably.

Pretty dress - wish it fit!
The print of this dress is great - springy but also very stylish. However, this is not a good fit for a true hourglass figure. I am 34dd, 30 in waist, 40 in hips and the size 10 was too tight it the hips and the bust. I ordered the 8 as my backup size, as suggested in the fit description, but I didn't dare try that one one since this was so snug. I managed to zip the 10 but it was not flattering at all. The fabric does not stretch.

Sexy and very short!
The color of this dress is gorgeous - vibrant purple with awesome black lace accents. It seemed a little more fall than spring when I looked at it online but in person it is a sexy dress for any season. This dress fit well in all areas except the length. The only problem is that it is very short. I am only 5'5" (longish legs, slightly short torso, but pretty much proportionate). From the picture and description I expected this dress to hit at midthigh. But it was actually much shorter than that. The suggestion of wearing this with leggings would be a great idea, but it's too warm out this week to pull off that look. Bummer!
