Stunning statement dress!
This dress fit wonderfully. Perfect for a wedding on a chilly night. It ran very true to size, though I preferred the long length to the regular. I'm 5'6", but I was wearing 3 inch heels and while I had to be careful not to step on the skirt, I felt the regular length was a bit short. Not a lot of stretch and I had to be careful with the zipper, but you really can't beat the silhouette. The compliments came all night long. I'll definitely be returning to this one!

I was hoping these would be even bigger, but they were sparkly and eye catching and they went great with my dress.

Comfortable and chic
I loved this dress. It's very stretchy and form fitting... it fit more like a bandage dress than I expected. Very flattering! I am usually between an 8 and a 10, and the 8 fit perfectly. I tried the 10 and it was almost a bit baggy, so the dress was a very true fit. I would definitely rent again. I felt like a million!

Eye-catching sparkle bunny!
I rented this for a birthday night out, but I ended up wearing it for most of the time I had rented it for. Sparkly and adorable and got lots of compliments!

Fun and definitely 20s
I rented this for a Gatsby themed event. It was super comfortable and fit very well. I got lots of compliments, and it fit right into the theme. The skirt shed a bit, but nothing crazy. I would have preferred a heel, but I had a just-healed broken foot so I went with flats. I overall, I would rent again!

Love the full skirt!
I rented this for a semi-formal gala event, and it was just the ticket. I'm usually an 8, but I have broad shoulders and hips, and this fit perfectly. I was a little concerned it would be tight on my arms, but I was very comfortable. I got lots of compliments. The full skirt is short, so I wore tights and a thick black heel. I would definitely rent this again!

Nice bit of sparkle to top off a look.
This was a nice statement necklace. It was light, comfortable, and went well with the look I put together. I think it would work for any outfit, really. I would not hesitate to wear it with jeans. My only complaint was it was a little battle-worn. The metal was losing its color, though you couldn't tell when I was wearing it, that was mainly on the parts that didn't show. A stone had also dropped when it arrived, but I popped that back in, so no problem.

Great glammed-up dress for a holiday wedding!
I always get nervous with full sequin dresses for two reasons: the fit and itchiness. This one was actually very comfortable! I got the dress in both medium and large. The medium fit and looked great, but it was very snug, so I wore the large for comfort only. Bear in mind, this was the tail end of the holiday season, and you know how that goes. The fit was nice and flattering, it was not at all itchy, and I was comfortable in it all night. I ate, danced, ran around and it never bothered me. I got SO many compliments, too! The color is nice and subtle, which is good for a wedding, because it was glamorous but didn't hog all of the attention. If I had any complaints, I would just say that it always felt a little twisted to me, and I kept pulling on the seams to straighten it, but that's a minor issue.

Striking color!
The dress is beautiful in person. The color is very vivid, the fit is nice and generally comfortable, and the way the dress moves is really nice. It catches the air really beautifully. For quibbles: the zipper was tough. The 8 was hard to zip, the 10 was basically broken. I wasn't sure if I would be able to wear the 10 because of the zipper, but it turned out that the 8 worked better anyway. My only complaint about the fit is that the band under the bust was slightly tight on me, but not enough to be super bothersome. I'm 5'6 and I wore about 4 inch shoes, which worked, but I had to be careful not to step on it. Also, the back does puff a bit. I think it's intentional, it's meant to fit that way, but I didn't realize it before it arrived. Overall, nice, striking dress for spring and summer weddings, I would recommend.

This was a cocktail-attire wedding that felt a bit like a red carpet to me. Perfect dress!
This dress got tons of compliments! It fit me very well, I'm an 8 generally and the fit of this one was very spot-on. I didn't even bother to try on the 10. Lots of sparkle, very body conscious, showed off my figure very well. The length was also great for someone my height. The only issues I had with this dress were: - The neckline can gape a little, it can be a little showy. I got by without pinning it, though. - The sequins did itch and dig in a bit around the arm holes. I brought moleskin in case I needed it, but I never ended up using it. It was a relief to take it off at the end of the night, though.

Great wedding, and the dress was perfect for it!
This was a great dress! I didn't realize a couple of things about it before I received it: firstly, it is very snug, body hugging. For some reason, I thought it would be a bit looser. Secondly, it comes in two pieces, a nude-colored shapewear-type slip, and a black lace overlay. I tried on both the medium and the large, and to be honest, I could barely tell the difference in fit. I went with the large for comfort, as I wondered if the medium might strangle me a bit. The bust is very low, and I used a small safety pin to secure it. Initially, I was afraid that it was too tight and I would appear lumpy, but it actually fit perfectly, and my tights helped smooth me out. I received MANY compliments on this dress. I would rent it again, for sure!
