Great LBD.
Pros: Plenty of room in the bust and fit well for a petite frame. The fabric is substantial and warm. Cons: I am only 5'3" and I found this dress to run short! It came mid thigh on me which never happens. Luckily it was cold out and I could wear tights so it was not that big of an issue. I also found the sleeves to run slightly small. Overall I think this is a great LBD. You can pair almost any accessories with it and make it your own.

Beautiful dress for a fall wedding!
I was afraid to rent this dress for a wedding because the liner looked very light but it is actually a deep champagne color in person! The only reason I did not give this dress the full five stars is because of the sizing in the chest. I am a 34DD and usually a 10 or 12 in dresses. I read the reviews that stated this dress has no stretch so I ordered up from what I normally ordered. Good thing I did because the 14 was still a bit tight in the chest but you could not tell. With some fashion tape I made the rest of the dress look good although it was a bit big. Overall this dress is absolutely stunning and way better in person than in pictures! I would 100% recommend this dress but if you have a larger chest I would go up one to two sizes!

This dress is not made for someone who is petite!
Unless you have a long torso I would not rent this dress. I also do not recommend renting this dress unless you are a ruler type body. If you have a smaller waist with hips and bust this dress does not accent your waist and makes you look larger. I rented both the medium and large. I am a 34DD and the medium was too small in the chest but fit my hips nicely. The large fit my chest but was EXTREMELY large everywhere else. This dress seems to be drastically different from size to size and not a small jump.

Low Rider Dress
Bailey 44
Size Worn: None
Usual Size: 10

Bust: 34D+
Not for hourglass body types
First off I will start by saying I did not wear this dress and wore the backup I also ordered. Pros: Great construction and fabric Cons: This dress fit my body shape strangely. I am a true hourglass figure, petite with a 34DD bust. This dress was extremely large in the shoulder area and the straps were not even close to staying up. The area under the armpits was also very large and it was gaping at my waist. It then clung more to my hips than I would have liked. I would say this is a much better dress for an apple shaped woman.

Stunning dress
The fit of this dress is perfect! I am usually a 10p and this dress fit perfectly. I have a larger bust (34DD) and a true hourglass shape and it was super flattering. I 100% recommend this dress!

Beautiful color, quality fabric and great for petite women with a larger bust.
Pros: Beautiful color and fabric! I was able to wear a regular bra with this dress which is a huge plus and there was comfortable room at the bust. I am a 34DD and it fit nicely. The length was great and it was so comfortable. I would for sure recommend this dress! Cons: Only con was that the lining for the dress ran small. I was still able to wear the dress but it was a little tight. There seems to be drastic differences between the sizes. I ordered the 12 for my backup and it was swimming on me whereas the 10 fit just right.

This dress is a beautiful color and fabric but does not work for hourglass figures.
I rented this dress for a high tea party I was going to. I ended up not wearing the dress because of the strange fit. It did not even come close to fitting my chest (34DD) and was huge in the waist (I am almost always a 10). I tried the 8 on after just to see if the waist was better and it was still to large. I think if you are a straight up and down figure or athletic then this dress would be perfect for you! It is a beautiful shape, color and fabric!

Blue Lines Dress
Nanette Lepore
Size Worn: None
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 3"
Comfortable and classic.
Pros: This dress will fit almost any body type and has plenty of room at the hips and bust. It is classic and can be dressed up or down. It was very comfortable and the wrap was very well secured. Cons: Dress looked a little worn and the collar did not stay raised like on the model. It was a little long for a petite person as well. The dress runs on the large size. I would recommend ordering a size smaller than you normally wear. Overall I liked this dress and it was great for a conservative wedding. It is a safe but classic pick.

FABULOUS RENTAL
Absolutely beautiful dress and was a dream to wear. I am 5'3 and a true hourglass figure. I have a rather large bust (34 DD) and this dress fit my chest and had a built in bra which was great. I would recommend going with the regular if you are wanting to wear heels. I ordered both the short and regular and the short hit at my ankles. The regular was perfect with 3 inch heels and just grazed the floor. The strap was a little large but nothing that couldn't be fixed with fashion tape.
