Not good for big chests
This is a pretty dress and great for a summer wedding rehearsal I was going to, unfortunately the top is very small in the chest and there is no stretch. It would be great on someone who was smaller up top.

Beautiful Lace Dress
This dress is amazing. The cut was perfect for my curves and ample chest. The top is sheer but I was able to wear a nude strapless bra without it showing. The sweetheart neckline under the lace was a nice surprise. The color is not quite navy, not quite blue, not quite turquoise...it is beautiful and I got so many compliments. I added a black elastic belt with a black sequin flower to break up the dress and black 9 West patent pumps. No one could believe this was a rented dress.

Pretty dress, lots of fabric
I rented this as a back up dress for my company's anniversary party. The dress is very well made but there is a lot of fabric onto is dress and it is heavy fabric that doesn't have a lot of flow to it. There is a lot of fabric in the skirt as well and being a short person it consumed me.

Too big
This was ordered as my backup dress and it was waaaay to big, not sure if I could even have worn a 14 if I would have ordered if. Also it is very canary yellow.

Not good for my body type
This is a beautiful dress but wasn't right for my body type, it ran a little tight across my waist, hips and butt. I could have worn it but it was my backup dress. Would be grea for someone with a slender body type.

Soooo Many Compliments
I wore this dress for a work banquet and received so many compliments on the dress that I became famous for the 'girl who rented her dress' and no one could believe it. The dress fit very well for my large chest and could be worn with a regular bra and the flowy skirt took away any concerns anout my middle section and it has pockets. I paired it with bone colored shoes and clutch. Very comfy, classic and pretty purple on purple pattern.

Classic style for any occasion...
I wore this dress to a wedding and it was perfect. It has plenty of space in the chest area, was very comfortable and has POCKETS which was awesome because I could keep my phone in there and didn't have to carry a purse. I wore it with black shoes and black chandelier earrings with gold trim that all accented the black trim along the top of the dress (yes that is black). This dress could easily been dressed up or down, but would recommend not wearing outdoors in hot conditions as it was pretty heavy material.

Perfect for a Professional Black Tie Gala!
This was my second choice dress and I wish I woul dhave ordered it in a size smaller because it fit but was a little roomie, but I selected it because it was elegant and classy but had a little bit of flare with the ruffle on the one shoulder. As someone with a larger chest this dress had plenty of room and it only required a strapless bra and I did add a body shaper to smooth out around the hips. The dress was also a little longer for someone of my height so I recommend at least a 3 inch heel if you are 5'5 or shorter. I recieve many, many compliments on the dress, no one could believe that I rented the dress online!
