an easy, elegant party dress
this dress is easy to move in and has just enough sparkle for that "wow" factor! I received so many compliments throughout the evening and really enjoyed dancing in the gown. the length was perfect for a work gala, and I wore a shawl during the first half of the evening, making it more conservative. I usually dislike strapless dresses, but this one stayed up all night with no awkward "adjustments"

the dress is edgy but still conservative. received compliments all night!
Worn without a bra, I decided to go a size down for my backup and was glad I did. The dress fit perfectly and was just the right mix of professional and glamour. I ended up having to run around quite a lot during the event and this dress stayed with me the whole way! One thing to note for outdoor events: this dress drags a tiny bit on the ground, but I think it's meant to. Would rent again in a heartbeat!

Great Lengths Dress
HALSTON
Size Worn: 2R
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 34D
This dress was easy, comfortable, and gorgeous - everything you want for a work special event.
The dress runs small, so I ordered (and wore) a size down. Usually a 4-6 I wore a 2R and it fit like a glove. The fabric doesn't have much give, so I'd recommend this dress for someone with an hourglass figure or a waist smaller than their hips. Also the neck can be a little tight, so I had to remove one of the neck clasps and re-sew it (not too difficult, considering the person before me had clearly done the same thing). The color is a bit brighter than the dark purple featured on the model, but all in all the dress was perfect. 10/10 would rent again.

Make Love Not War Gown
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 2R
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 34D
the dress fit like a glove and was extremely comfortable (not to mention, stylish)!
Fit was exactly to size, although I thought it was a bit less flattering on me, since I have wider hips than the model (duh). Due to the cutouts and overall shape of the dress, I was not able to wear a bra or spanx, so factor that in when you're deciding. The back cutout is too high to accommodate a strapless bra without safety pinning it in place. Be aware the dress is very easily wrinkled and may come wrinkled in the bag. A good steam/iron will clear that right up.

Cut Out Column Maxi

an elegant and conservative take on the "princess" dress
I wore this to a black-tie gala at which I was also working. This dress fit well and received several compliments throughout the night! Even better, with the length and size, I could wear flats without anyone knowing. I originally ordered the 6 and 8 R, both of which came to me damaged. This is not a heavy-wear dress. The boning in the bodice has a tendency to pinch or stick you if you're not careful. In addition, the tulle on the bottom is easily wrinkled/torn. Be sure to leave yourself enough time to steam the dress! Overall a beautiful and unusual gala look - 10/10 would wear again!

Madison Gown

Size Worn: 6R

this jumpsuit was stunning, and I received compliments on it all night!
I'm usually a 6R, but ordered the L sizes as I wanted the pant legs to skim the floor. The 6L wasn't available at the last minute, but luckily I'm pretty small in the chest and waist and was able to wear the 4L (with spanx). It fit like a glove! Wore with 4 inch heels. Someone with larger boobs might want to go up a size, as it was pretty fitted in the chest area. The waist was also fitted tightly, but with a little more "give" than the chest. It's the perfect outfit for someone with a petite upper body and larger lower body.

beautiful, classic, and festive!
This dress is simply gorgeous. A variation on the little black dress, the cut is conservative and very flattering. runs a little large, so I wore a size 4 and it fit like a glove! Would rent again or even buy, if I could!

Business in the front, party in the back!
Fit like a dream - not too tight, not too loose. The lace sleeves added a bit of a conservative feel, and the open back was gorgeous! So many compliments on this dress!

both sizes of this dress were stretched out and did not fit at all.
The arms are very tight, but I expected that based on the reviews. The problem lay with the hip/butt region. Both the size 4 and size 6 were so stretched out that the dress (which already has a lot of ruching) was totally baggy and unflattering. I would not recommend this dress to anyone.
