Beautiful color, beautiful dress! One of my favorite rentals ever.
I rented this dress for a photo session, and it photographed beautifully. The color was vibrant and unusual, and the beaded neckline was a lovely added detail (and made it unnecessary to worry about jewelry). I usually wear a 4 or 6, and the 6 was a good fit. It wasn't loose at all, so if you are between sizes I would recommend sizing up. This was perhaps the hardest dress for me to return... just loved it.

Unique, comfortable, perfect dress!
I loved this dress! Rented it for a vineyard wedding and it was perfect. Stood out in the crowd in a good way. Also very comfortable - could eat to my hearts content given the elastic waist. :) I rented the 4 and 6 and the fit was very similar. The 4 fit a little more closely in the upper body area, and I preferred how that looked with the neckline. Really can't recommend enough!

Super flattering and comfortable. Loved this dress.
I am between a 4 and 6 usually so I got both sizes. The 4 fit fine and was more flattering than the 6 a I think a slightly more snug fit looks better with this dress given the cut. Dress was easy to wear and very comfortable. Received several compliments. Would love to own it - very versatile! It was a fine length on me but I'm only 5'3. Might be a tad short on taller ladies.

Never felt sexier than in this dress!
It's fitted in all the right places and just toes the line between sexy and classy - which means it manages to be both. Love it. Could probably have gone down a size - runs true to size or a little big.

Great pattern and super comfortable.
Loved this dress. I would buy it in an instant if it was for sale. I got lots of compliments and it was incredibly comfortable.

Dress ran very large and was very bright.
I usually wear a 4 or 6 in dresses, and the 4 was still way too big on me. I didn't end up wearing the dress to the event bc of the size issue. The color was also not great on me. It was quite bright. Not my favorite rental.

Ballerina princess dress -- so many compliments and made me feel beautiful.
I loved this dress! Was so sad to have to send it back. I rented it for a formal occasion and got so many compliments throughout the night. It was great because although it was black, it was so different looking that I still stood out in the crowd. Fit was comfortable. I had to adjust the tulle a few times throughout the evening, but nothing terrible. The bust area does not have a lot of give -- I am a large B/small C and it was just roomy enough for me. Any bigger and you might need to go up a size. The whole dress doesn't really have any stretch to it, but it's not fitted below the waist which is nice. I wore this dress in January, so I paired it with black patterned tights which was a fun look.

Beautiful sparkly earrings!
I thought these earrings were great for a formal event. One thing I didn't realize before they arrived was that they are actually a gold base material -- I had thought that they were silver. It worked out fine for me, but just in case you didn't notice that in the description I thought I'd point it out.

Great color, but tight fit!
This dress was a great color and I loved the pockets. The length was about knee length on me. What I didn't love was how small the dress was through the ribcage area. I'm usually a 6 or 8, and the 8 was very tight on me. I needed help to zip it up and then it wasn't very comfortable. It also has a ruffle detail right at the waistline which tended to make me look a little wider there than I actually am. If I rented again, I'd get the 10. I might try it, just because the color was so cute and different.

Great colors and very flattering cut.
I am usually a 6, and in this dress I ordered a 6 and 8. The 8 was even a little small, especially in the bust area. I'm quite average in that area, so larger chested women should definitely keep that in mind. The dress is also short - if I weren't wearing black tights I might have felt a little overexposed in it (and I'm only 5'4). Still, I liked the dress a lot. It was colorful and fun and made me feel great. It was really really cold on New Year's Eve so I ended up wearing a cardigan as well, but the dress still looked cute.

Fantastic little blue tutu dress. Fit like a dream and I have never received so many compliments.
I LOVED this dress. I wore it for a 10 year class reunion gala, and it was a huge hit. I have never received so many compliments from perfect strangers before. I loved the fact that i could wear a standard bra with the dress. It was really comfortable all around, from the sleeves to the waist area. The length was on the shorter size but I'm only 5'4 so it was a perfectly fine length on me. I loved the pouffy tutu part of the dress. It really stood out -- in a good way -- in the sea of black dresses that night. Wish I could own this dress -- I was so sad to send it back!

Beautiful material and color. Very classy dress, but the top fits awkwardly.
I LOVED the color and the feel of this dress. It was beautiful. But my problem was that the top area fit really loosely on me, and I could never figure out quite how to get it to sit properly. It seemed too loose, but had the dress been a full size smaller I think the waist might have felt too tight. If I owned the dress I would have had the top tailored to fit since I loved everything else about it, but unfortunately as a rental dress I couldn't do that. I think perhaps a person with a longer torso would have more luck with this dress. It just seemed like there was too much material above the waistline for me.

Classy and comfortable dress
I thought the fit was true to size. I usually wear a 6, so I rented the S and the M. I could have honestly worn either one -- I didn't tell a big size difference. The dress was really comfortable, and the included slip did help a lot in holding everything in. My one complaint was that I thought the slip fit kind of oddly on top -- I am a C cup, but I felt like it was too small for me.
