Cute dress for dancing
I could have worn the zero, but the 2 was more elegant. The shape is flattering and elegant. The fabric has an interesting texture at the bodice. I got lots of compliments. My only complaint is that the seams, especially at the waist, were really itchy.

Domino Dress
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 2
Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 4"

Striking dress, a little stiff
The dress is really interesting and unique. It was not my favorite, mostly because I had never worn neoprene before and wasn't quite prepared for how stiff it would be. The neoprene material makes the print and colors really vivid. The material is stiff, making the skirt stand out almost as if it had a crinoline. Although it's stretchy, for a looser fit like the model's i recommend sizing up. There were a few lumps and bumps that would have been avoided with a larger size. One other complaint - the black binding at the neck and side cutouts was itchy.

Fluorescent Lights Print Dress
Clover Canyon
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 2

Bust: 32C
Loose on top and snug below
I rented this as a backup dress- I was in a wedding and needed a purple dress, and rented this in case the other was the wrong color. I think the thin fabric made it too casual for a bridesmaid dress. In addition it had an odd fit, at least on me- it would be best for someone with a small butt and a bigger chest. I did not end up wearing the dress.

Step Into My World Dress
Milly
Size Worn: NONE

Gorgeous dress. Runs tight though!
I usually wear a 0 or a 2, and could barely wiggle into the 4. But the dress is gorgeous, could be dressed up or down. It was perfect for an outdoor wedding with a nighttime reception. The silk panels are a vibrant color, and the black "webbing" is really interesting- the photos don't do it justice. The dress has a nude lining. The neckline is a little more plunging than I expected, but I was still able to wear a conventional bra. Overall, it was both sexy and elegant.

Small on the bottom
Granted I wore a size smaller than usual, but this was cut disproportionally tight on the bottom relative to the top, at least on me. The fabric was not as heavy as I expected. Not my best look.

Gitan Floral Print Dress
Catherine Malandrino
Size Worn: 0
Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 4"

Great fabric, forgiving cut
I rented this to wear as a maid of honor. The fabric is thick and stayed smooth and crisp all day. The dress looks expensive and is a really vibrant color- slightly more purple than it appears online. I could have fit into the 0, but opted for the 2 because it was slightly more comfortable in the lower half. The bust was perfect- not too revealing but not too matronly either. Success!

Feel Pretty Dress

Pretty and elegant.
I wore the 2 because the zero was tight in the bust and very short. The 0 fit better in the waist but i was worried it looked too skimpy. You definitely need a racer back bra.

Rocco Mini Shift Dress
Tibi
Size Worn: 2
Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 4"

A little large in the torso/bust. I usually wear a size 2 and a bra size 34B. The size 0 of this dress had a loose waist and extra room in the bust. I ended up buying a skinny belt the day of the event. The fabric is very nice, bright, lightweight silk.

Lace Boatneck Back Dress
Shoshanna
Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 4"

This dress has a feminine, flattering look - not too tight or revealing, but the cinched belt and sheer fabric make it a little bit sexy. My size ranges from a 0 to a 4, and the size 2 fit me perfectly.
