Stunning color, great length
This was my backup dress for an Adult Prom. It wasn’t my first choice, but it got the job done! Pros: beautiful color, perfect length, and the skits and cutouts gave it a fun edge. Cons: the top was too big. I really need a 12 for my hips, but more like an 8 for my bust. But I put on my stick on bra plus an extra padded nude colored bra and it worked out fine enough.

Beautiful color, awkward fit
Another case of having an awkward body type (read: small bust). I tried everything to get this dress to work. Stick on bra. Tried to find a way to pinch the straps tighter. But ultimately, the top was too big. There was no way someone wasn’t getting a little peep show throughout the night. Great length, beautiful vibrant color. No picture because I went with a backup dress. But definitely would recommend this dress to anyone with my accommodating body features.

Awkward fit
Stunning dress. Good fabric. Great length for someone tall. It was formal, but not full length gown, black tie formal. I was looking forward to this dress, but it just didn’t work with my body type. I needed a 12 to go over my hips, but I was swimming in the top with my small bust. I should have know better than to go for the strapless. No picture because I wore a backup dress.

Perfect dress for an award banquet
I’m a little heavier than I’m used to being at the moment, so I was discouraged when the 12 was a tight fit, but it’s nothing that some spanks can’t handle. I still absolutely loved this dress. Quality fabric. Beautiful color. The lace overlay was well done. I liked that it was connected all the way down so that the lace didn’t ride up. I’m tall, so the see-through black lace portion was a little daring on my long legs, but not inappropriate. If I had black spanks I may have worn them, but got away without them. Would definitely rent the dress again.

My favorite dress I’ve ever rented
This dress was a dream. It’s been awhile since I wore it, but I rented it for a backyard Sunday morning brunch wedding and it was perfection. Beautiful color. The fabric was super comfortable. Off the shoulders stayed put, I didn’t feel like I had to keep pulling them back down. And at 5’10” the length was just right. I would buy this dress!

Perfect dress for a Bourbon and Bow Tie Bash!
I rented this dress for a charitable event called the JDRF Bourbon and Bow Tie Bash. The attire was cocktail, and naturally, bow ties. So, when I saw this dress I knew it would be perfect! The dress was a perfect, appropriate length for how tall I am, but I paired in with the black tights because it was cold. It ran true to size, but the top half of the dress (size 10) was a little too big for my smaller bust. However, I think an 8 would have been a little too tight for my waist/hips. The flare at the bottom would have helped cover any problem areas though. The material of the dress was super comfortable, and it was just a perfect, fun, flirty dress for an awesome event. Fun fact: another girl at the event had rented the same dress, and we won the best dressed award!

Beautiful color and style for an outside spring wedding!
The only reason I didn't give this dress a 5-star rating was because of the fit. I am 5'11" and 165lbs and recently have been losing weight, so I was unsure of my dress size. I have a small bust and large hips, so I went for an 8 and a 10. The 10 fit slightly better than the 8 because it didn't pull as much across my hips and thighs, and still wasn't too big up top. I feel like a 12 would have been the perfect fit for the bottom half, but that would have definitely been too big up top. I think since the 10 was still a little tight, there was a problem with the slip and the dress lining up. It made the slit up the back of the skirt not lay properly and gather, and you could see the lines from the slip under the dress since the seams were not lining up. But that was literally the ONLY negative, and I didn't even notice once I started enjoying the myself at the wedding. The color was perfect - it's almost like a heathered tiffany/mint blue. The length was classy enough for a wedding but the cutouts on the side made it a little sexy. As I said, I'm 5'11" so it hit right at my knees, so I imagine it'd be relatively long for shorter girls, so that's something to keep in mind. I would definitely rent this dress again - I felt like a total babe!
