Cute Professional Dress
This is a nice professional sheath. The Vneck is not too deep for work. It is a nice heavy material that laid nicely and was easy to wear.

Silky Fall Dress
The cut and fabric were very flattering. I had a hard time keeping the crossover on my chest from opening up too much, but only when I was sitting. I did not want to pin it because the fabric was very silky.

Cute and Warm
The coat fit well. The weaving is a little nubby and was easily snagged. Otherwise it was warm and cute!

Pretty floral sheath
I wore this to a work luncheon and a conference. Nice thick forgiving fabric - no shape wear needed! The classic shape and length were perfect for professional attire and the pattern subtle. I wore it alone and also under a suit jacket. Would rent again!

Cute but short!
This was a cute dress but just too short for my comfort zone.

Cute but too tight
This just was too tight. The material was almost thin, so there wasn't the possibility to use Spanx to smooth things out and make it work.

Cute
This was a fun dress! Very flowy and forgiving. It is a true wrap dress though, so it did fall open if I wasn't careful when sitting or because it was super windy I had to keep ahold of it outside too.

Odd cut
This fit everywhere except the crotch was oddly really long. I couldn't find a way to make it fit properly without hiking the waistline up to under my bust - otherwise the crotch sagged way down to mid-thigh. I am not shortwaisted - do not usually have this issue. It was super cute but for that fault.

Huge arm holes!
The dress fit fine except the arm holes were huge and showed my bra - a lot of my bra. I'd have had to wear a sticky bra to avoid it or keep my arms plastered to my sides (and even then it showed a little). It was really strange!

Pretty but oddly cut
Something about the cut off this dress just didn't fit me. The chest was too big (I'm a D cup) and the center ruffle just didn't work for me. I rented it in two sizes and neither fit well enough to be worn.

Gorgeous
The color and cut of this dress are amazing. I received tons of compliments both times I wore it. The tummy area is a little form fitting and I had to wear Spanx to smooth my panty line/belly.

Cute but tight
I have rented from black Halo in the past and not had a size issue but this one ran small - it was just too tight to wear comfortably.

Flowing comfort
Gorgeous flowing dress. Fit great. Had to pin the v-neck a bit higher to keep from being exposed. Would definitely rent this again.

Love this dress - I've already rented it twice! It is very flowy and flattering. I wore it to work and to a surprise party - flats and heels - it's very versatile. Overall great dress!

Beautiful!
This was a perfect dress to wear to a wedding. The neckline was very flattering and I loved the cut of the dress. It was a sheath but not overly snug. I'd definitely rent this again!

Awesome dress!
This is a gorgeous dress! It runs true to size. It's a little low cut for work but fine for a party - and either way not enough that I needed to tape or use a cami. I wore it with a suit jacket for a professional event. I would absolutely wear this again.

This dress was very slinky and fit true to size. The back is somewhat low cut but it was very flattering. It's a great fun summer dress.

Great dress!
This dress ran a little big, but still was flattering. Loved the color. Fabric was heavy and feel very flattering. Picture is under a direct light, so it's a little weird. I'd definitely rent this again.

Super cute and flowy
This was a super cute dress, very flowy and flattering. I did need to pin the top to keep covered. I think I could have worn a 14, I'm in between a 14-16 and the 16 was a little big but not unwearable. It's a silky feeling dress, flowy but the material does not really breathe. Still perfect for the party at a winery where I wore it.

Beautiful floral
This was a very pretty dress and was super comfortable and flowing. The ruffles on the chest made me look flat in some pictures, but I didn't feel weird about it while wearing. I didn't need shapewear or a special bra - the dress was very forgiving and was pretty much true to size.

Beautiful!
I loved everything about this dress! It's a heavy fabric so it hides lumps and bumps. It ran true to size. I was able to wear a regular bra with the straps cinched in to make it a racerback. The ruffle detail is gorgeous and it was just perfect for the black tie event I attended. I would absolutely rent this again.

Fun Dress!
I wore this to a conference and it was perfect. It's a lovely spring yellow, and a very flattering cut. I did need to wear Spanx to even out my apron area, but I'm kind of between a 16 and a 14. I really liked the am and front slit detail. I'd rent this again!

Cute!
This was super cute summer dress. It was very comfortable but was snug. It fit fine but was a smidge tight when I was sitting. Even so, I'd rent this one again.

This dress is gorgeous and fits nicely. I didn't end up wearing it to the event because my other choice was preferred, but I loved the way this dress fit and was very flattering.

Vibrant!
This was perfect for an evening party I attended. I received lots of compliments on the vibrant color. I could have probably worn a smaller size, but the 16 fit fine and because it was a little roomy I didn't need to wear any shapewear. The cut is very flattering and comfortable.

Odd shape
Great fabric and color but the fit was not for me. I think this may have just been too big, but the shape of the dress was odd on me. It's almost like it was a mermaid like fit, but it was loose through the middle on me and tight at the neck. I did not end up wearing it.

This dress we perfect for a birthday dinner out. The fit is true to size. It's lined so I was able to wear a regular bra. Super comfortable and classy!

Gorgeous in Orange!
I love the vibrant orange and the crepe like fabric. It was a little tight on me and the slit was a smidge higher than I'd do without pantyhose, as such were I to rent it again I'd go up a size. That said, I could have done Spanx and been fine - picture is without any Spanx. I did not end up wearing for my event as the other option I received was just too perfect, but I might rent again if I have another event in the future.

Classy and fun
This fit well, true to size. I did wear Spanx to smooth out lumps and bumps, but the fabric is nice and thick and may not have really needed it. This was classy enough for a work related meeting I was leading, but the slit makes it more feminine and it could easily transition to evening. Would definitely rent this again.
